No.. they're ebay item numbers... copy and paste then into the ebay search box, and you'll be taken to the sale...

It's a '78 update of a '46 design.. If I built it to '46 specifications, I'd have to build a wooden mast too!! At least I can stick a tin one on a '78 boat!

I don't think there's much chance of me building it any time soon - I just don't have the space...

I would use modern glues though! And that plan is dated 1978, and calls for the seams to be taped, presumably with polyester resin...

haha.. your edit spoiled my joke!!

The only problem with a new boat here in UK would be finding a suitable series to compete in That's why I'm asking.... I'm not a particularly competitive sailor.. (I sail a Minisail and have nearly finished building a Cape Cod Frosty (you'll have to go look that up)) I just like to mess about with ...

I hope your snake will be happy about the extra attention...

As in "I've restored it into a totally different era" ?

It's still here... I did try to email you at the address that was part of your message... Did you get it?

I'd be happy to assist in its upkeep... either directly or indirectly....

Is it being actively maintained?

A Nimbus was advertised on Facebook earlier, so I came to the CVRDA to look it up... zilch..(it is listed but with no data) but quite a lot of info available via google...

It's a shame to see our resource missing easily available data....

I hadn't really thought much about price... About a tenner each? A fiver for the first one as the ratchet is worn out... No 5 is a ratchet also..The spring retaining post is missing... I've put an M3 stainless bolt in the hole, but it needs a nut finding for it...
