Re: Help! Don't know what boat to go for?
A GP or Wayfarer seem like the sensible options, but you could also consider a mirror 16 which I cruised on the west cost of scotland when a child or reduced rig jollyboat... Seriously, I think a wayfarer fits the bill, we've cruised them at my club from Lydney down channel to Lundy, safe and stable...

Re: Enterprise Wooden Mast
I live about 20 miles from Newnham and have plenty of barn storage so if you decide to buy I could store the mast here until you are able to find a way of getting it to Suffolk.

J17 taken by pirates
Unfortunately J17, Allegria, was taken by pirates last weekend and wrecked. Much fun had by all and a fitting end to a boat which was way past saving.

Re: Jollyboat mast boom
The mast is now behind a pile of hay bales, so I can't see the makers plate, but it is a gold alloy, think its a proctor. The boom is similar, from memory Its centre sheeting. Have both steel and wood plates, sails (probably quite tired but useable, though the spinnaker may be shot), rudder. Won't g...

Re: Jollyboat mast boom
I have the rig off J17, the hull is unfortunately rotten through and beyond (reasonable) restoration. Could possibly help with any other parts too.
PM me if you are interested.

Firefly centreboard casing
I have almost completed building a new board case for F2451. Before I fix the two halves together I need to treat the wood on the inside as it will be unaccessible once the case is glued together. Should I use paint/varnish/epoxy?

Re: Uffa King - N382 'Alarm' on e-bay
Surely got to worth a punt at 99p, firewood costs more than that! Already got N941 awaiting attention or I'd have a go, notwithstanding lack of traler or towbar at present.

Still working on F2451 Spadger, I think the name deserves to stick, found floating down the River Usk at Newport Uskmouth SC. Getting on with it now so hopefully on the wat...

Re: Firefly centreboard pivot
Thanks Rupert, but the list I found on the firefly site only shows distances of the pivot from the transom and mast step, not vertical height.
