Did anyone see the article in the Saturday Mail of 25th July about Paul McCarney sailing his Sunfish......?

The boat is called Linda, and there's also a decent colour photo!

I have a Seahorse main, almost 'crisp', lots of life left although a few repairs along the foot and a sailtape repair near the head, a Holt jib and a Seahorse spinnaker with a small repair neede to one seam. All from # 916 (RIP) which sadly I found a neighbour was dismantling with a sledgehammer. PM...

Does this have a class name?

Rather Cute!

Neil,

Thanks so much! Just what an amateur Finn fancier needs. Have bookmarked it for safety.!

Also, ent 228 I have the book and had forgotten what a great reference it is. Also 'Regatta Sailing' by Per Skjonberg of a similar era has some classic Finn related photos and wisdom.

While early Finns are being discussed, slightly off topic, but could someone give a link to where the very useful information I saw a few years ago on what I remember was a dedicated Classic Finn website, can now be found? I seem to remember there were boat lists with names and years as well as a sa...

Hi, all.

I see on Donie's photos of the Pearson that there are no floorboards. Have they gone to the decaying / awol or did Pearsons of this age not have floorboards originally?

(I saved K119 from the tip and made a floorboard..... and now wonder if I shouldn't have?)

Thanks!

Just in case anyone is interested, just saw a Heron needing work
on the DWSC website.

Saw this on Gumtree. https://www.gumtree.com/p/boats-kayaks-jet-skis/reduced-sailing-dinghy-boat-with-trailer/1335349303 It certainly has Mirror 'reflections'..... and the scalloped deck around the mast reminded me of the Miracles appearance. Does anyone know what the class was named / was it Holt a...

Steve,
There's at least one, or there was recently, grp minisail at Weybridge SC, in the undergrowth, available to take away..........

This topic is current under 'Swallows and Amazons', so have given it its' own heading.......... I checked my 1971 'Boat World Guide To Dinghies'. The entry for the 11+ says: Construction 'Marine plywood or Glass reinforced plastic'. The Class secretary's comments : 'The GRP version has a more modern...

I had a look at various lots at Itchenor this afternoon..............
Lot 7 is definitely a Pacer and definitely a wreck.
The transom is all but detached and disintegrating and the floor at the transom end is also non existent. There is a bag of sails, a boom and rudder / tiller. No mast.
Spares only!

Available free.
6.95 metres, No Rigging / spreaders. Has been repaired about 80 cms above foot.
I am near Junction 11 of M25, Chertsey if anyone is interested.
Thanks.

looks seriously nice!
