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!

Alan Hhassell was one of my school masters........... we heard more about IC's than physics during lessons!

Very interesting, Nick.

So are old Pearsons with the bow buoyancy tank relatively 'safe' when capsized, or do they do a nosediving experience?

Thanks!

I still have a wood mast, measures 6.95m. Has been repaired with what is probably a grp bandage some 2' above foot (repair is blue, rest of spar is varnish), needing revarnish. No rigging. Too good to cut up. Collect from near Junction 11 M25 Chertsey. £5 donation to a dog rescue appreciated or free...

But a bit pricey?

Sadly I know a few things about Lasers, and this one is not early: The eggshell blue colour is circa a 130000 sail number, the grab rails are plastic, whereas the earlier boats with cream/ orange/ bright green hulls had magnolia decks and wood grabrails. The sail number would be impressed into the d...

I concur with Ent 228; when I salvaged my Finn it was only a190 mile round trip, but because it hadn't moved for 25 years I hired a car transporter with a winch. Just as well as not only did the shrubs have to be removed around it, but the winch was the only way of dragging out the decrepit trailer ...
