Is this an Uffa King?

Post by ACB »

Seen and snapped at Wm King and Sons' yard at Pin Mill last Thursday evening (with a Blackberry at 8.30 pm hence the grotty images...)

Certaily looks like an vintage National 12. But I cannot tell just by lookingat the outside of the hull.

Best bet is to post the pictures on the N12 website and see if any of the experts can identify it.

Pity you could not take a picture of the inside of it, for a makers plate or sail number.

Cheers

As Stephen says : not enough info!

It was lovely to see an Uffa King at Roadford for the cvrda weekend there just now. N33 and sailing very well.

I have information a bout a Holt 500 ribbed 12 that is looking for a good home. anyone interested please pm me.

Definitely not an Uffa King - the transom is too flared out - probably too few planks and the overall beam looks too great.
As Chris says - cannot see enough of boat.
