Can someone lend me a trailer??

I'm on the verge of buying a N12.. it's in Essex and I'm in Berkshire... it has a trolley, but no trailer...
If I could borrow a suitable trailer for a day, I'd be very grateful!

Re: leak in hull....

Yes!

Don't put too much pressure in it, and be aware there may be a vent hole in the hull, probably high up in the cockpit, near the centreline so it never gets submerged...

Thanks for that.. have contacted the owner... Would be a lovely boat for me to own, as built by my mother's uncle!

Good Grief!!!

That's not a catamaran, it's a floating road bridge!

From the inside there was no evidence of the chine splitting... it just looked like the outermost ply coming off....

But, yes.. taping the whole hull would be time-consuming....

Re: Buying advice, please....

This boat has a tank across the stern...

It has a tunnel through it which means there's no way you'd kick the flaps open!

It also means I could only inspect part of the inside of the chine... and it looked fine!

Re: Buying advice, please....

Not too many horrors... 1: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92926908/DSC_0062.JPG Funny, overly long trailer, front mast support missing... I can bodge a replacement to get it home... 2: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92926908/DS...

Crew availability...

Not sure where this belongs... It's a suggestion to the moderators, I guess... I've seen various posts with people saying they might make an event if they can find a suitable crew.... How about a list of volunteer crew? With location, skills (spinnaker, trapeze, etc) I plan to be racing my Minisail ...
