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!

Hornet sails available
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...

Re: Finn Wooden Mast Rigging
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.

Re: Finn Wooden Mast Rigging
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...

Re: Finn Wooden Mast Rigging
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!

Mirror Predecessor?
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...

Re: What is lot number 7?
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!
