Proctor C or similar

I'm looking for a mast for N12 2323, all I've currently got is a bare hull and some items kindly donated which could be useful. There are a couple of masts - a very heavy Needlespar which I'm not keen on and an as yet unidentified job with diamonds which is light but may be 'past it' - bit like the ...

Re: YW Scow ?

This thread has answered a long term question for me.. in the Dinghy Year book 1964 from Adlard Coles page 141 there is a Yachting world advert - the boat pictured in it has to be what your article covers, indeed one of the photos may have come from the same shoot.

Thanks. Ian

Re: Beautiful Fairey Duckling for sale

Hello ACB, yes she is still available - although a chap in New Jersey wants her and has asked me to get costs for shipping her to Newark!! Not sure what she weighs, not far from the original weight I suspect as she has been garaged for ages now. Certainly a very easy lift for my wife and I. Original...
