Hi Keith. Thanks for response. With the keel up it would be easy, and in that state the boat draws much less than a Flying 15. Keel down without an immediately adjacent jetty, recovery onto a road trailer is more of a challenge in anything but calm conditions as per any fixed keel boat. Below shows ...

396 (4) - Copy.JPG Looking ahead to 2025 or 2026 if I'm unlucky. I've put a tempest back in time and made it lift-keel again, in an effort to access more water. However, there is always 'Maximum length' rules to tangle with before setting out - a tempest is LOA 22 feet, so beyond Roadford's 20 feet...

Gone to a new home in Cornwall.

Gone to Ireland.

J301 - 7 - Copy.JPG Still set-up as supplied by Fairey's in 1961. Had been in Edinburgh since then, first with a school, and from the late 60's the Scouts. Well cared for by them for over 30 yrs, before some of that care was undone by a later generation leaving it upside down outside. It was though...

J71 Sailing.JPG J71 - complete Fairey Build - varnished hull & original decks. Not been restored. Modified through the 50's and 60's - bow closed off to form tank, side tanks made full length, centre main conversion, alloy mast, none of which were uncommon developments, and by the late 60's wer...

Hi Graham. I've put a link to the post on the CVRDA facebook page - should increase the views. Forum not as busy as it once was. Good Luck

Fantastic to see J52 survives. Hope it finds a good home. I have alerted the almost original owners who sailed it at Gourock. Loch Lomond fleet.JPG . J52 & J71 were owned by brothers - I have J71 from the Eisca auction, and the original owners family supplied some photos, and the above includes ...

Home found for sails and spars!

[img][ DSCF0735.JPG /img] Prompted by an likely trip south to the Hampshire / Sussex area with an empty tempest trailer, on which the Jollyboat trailer (which is roadworthy - just torture to tow empty) could get a lift on. All of the below acquired with Jollyboats in the EISCA auction in 2017. Trail...

In the EISCA auction the Finn sold for £150 (so £207ish probably after VAT, buyers premium etc), according to the then auctioneers website. Saw it briefly in a shed in Eyemouth.

Enterprise 1 was bought by NMM Falmouth. Saw it in the shed when I was visiting the GRP prototype tempest.

CVRDA copy.JPG Above are various 'lots' of fittings which will head on to ebay in a week, all as auctions starting at 99p. They are mainly the surplus of fittings that came with Jollyboats, and the results of scrapping dead Flying 15's & Tempests. Plenty of worn/broken stuff gone to the skip to...
