Re: Int Canoe for Sale K102 - Torment
Thinking again of Eric's boat, do you know if she still has the semi rotating mast?

Re: Int Canoe for Sale K102 - Torment
The pictures of Tormentor remind me of a story. A friend of mine had Eric Twinames boat (I think it was K133 called Tern) at Oxford in the early 80's and I remember that he said that Eric didn't ever varnish it because it would add weight! Tormentor's condition reminds me of Tern's.... I would love ...

Re: Early 420s
Hi all, I've just run lasertourist's link through the babelfish translator and he says that lanaverres have a transom flap on the port side of the transom same as our club one, so short of finding out more about Honour marine. I think these may have been imported as I have always found the portside ...

Hi all, Thanks for all the offers of help, First I'll have a final go with the BFA and Brian Porter. The offsets for the hull are available but not the rudder, most strange as I would have expected them to be together, the rudder being a really complex shape. Someone somewhere has the data to genera...

Finn rudder
Hi all, My "new" old Finn needs a rudder and I forgot to draw round the rudder of the Finn I just sold, so I'm looking for the figures to define the outline. The class rules don't give them. I've tried the BFA had no reply, and the IFA with the same response. I believe the measurements wer...
