Last weekend a few classis GP14 idiots took our boats back to Aberdovey, mid wales to celebrate 60 years of the class and the start of this wonderful general purpose boat 2, 7, 28, 47 (in drag- 4250's hull was borrowed!) 64 and a few modern boats, took to the water for a gentle weekend on the sea th...

I bought a miracle to restore after finishing GP14 #7, but I'm not actually had any interest in doing it! she's complete with 2 mains, 2 jibs and a spinnaker (1 main and jib are nearly new) mast boom and spinny pole. home made combi!!! (mmmmm) she had a rotten transom, and the guy I bought her off a...

does it have the original 'bullseye's' for the jib or does it have sliders, and i'm after original bullseyes for gp #7

[quote="NaomiTV Thanks Moggy - I am very familiar with GPs - my dad has one he's restoring and I join him for the annual GP cruising week every now and then...now that would be a good reason to get it out of the garage, it's usually a fantastic few days, and it's in North Wales this year, can g...

Hi, new member so be nice!

I've got GP14 #7, and seeing as Clywedog isn't that far from my home, I was thinking about bringing #7 out for a play

I was just wondering...... what time the races start and are they over all 3 days?

many thanks
