Re: So which boat should I be looking for?
Thanks - that might explain why there seems to be a relatively high number of very cheap older Solos coming onto the market...

Re: So which boat should I be looking for?
Thanks all, some definite food for thought there. I had thought of the Solo but wasn't sure how big they were in the flesh, so to speak. Competitiveness isn't an issue - the limiting factor would be me, not the boat. I had discounted the Finn due to its size and weight, but it sounds as though I nee...

So which boat should I be looking for?
I've been on the lookout for a boat for a while now, and have had a couple of missteps. The Merlin Rocket (I've always wanted a MR) turned out to be impractical - I managed to forget that when I sailed in my youth, a two man boat was fine because I always had plenty of assistance on shore and an ava...

Re: Another Enterprise Restoration of boat number 1734
Wow, so much work! Definitely looking good compared with the forlorn state it started in.
Any chance of a detailed description of the steamer set-up?

Re: Merlin 1230 on Ebay from Whitefriars
He'll be lucky to get that money for it, I'd have thought, unless it's one of the sought after vintage wing designs? Doesn't look any better than Fearless and that went for £200.

Re: another mystery dinghy
There was a bit of a discussion on the 'Buss and Elston' thread - http://www.cvrda.org/community/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=5214 Consensus seems to be - dunno. Doesn't look at all like a 14 to me. Suggestions include Finn put to other uses, stripped out and repurposed Firefly, I'm not sure I've seen a...

Re: A Smart built NSM on ebay
yes, it is always a temptation.... but still sad when they go that way. To be honest, I don't think it is happening as much as it used to. Not sure it is a behavior the CVRDA should condone though....well unless the boat is really past it and of little interest anyway. A Smart built Merlin somehow ...

Re: Int 14 project
Fascinated to see the work on this boat as I went to look at it before (wisely I think) deciding that I lacked the skills and time to do the boat justice. Wonderful to see it coming along. I do love these pre-war 14s
