Uncomfortably close to the wood pile!

Gary Rucklidge has recued far worse to a beutifull going concern. Chris too.
Re: restoration of pre-war National 12
Chris was trying to persuade me to take on a ribbed Merlin. I know my limitations so I replied "Do you really want another boat to look after"?

I'm not convinced this is a Nat 12.

Re: restoration of pre-war National 12
Not really that similar, though I suppose boats might have been built that looked different to the norm in the early days, or grandfathered into the class. Not like this, though. Mind, what did the Barnt Green One Design look like?
Nice looking boat, mind. Probably worth more if it isn't an old racing dinghy.

Re: restoration of pre-war National 12
What I would say to Chis is that this boat does have just the right kind of buoyancy for your old i14!
Those White painted things
I am tempted to ask if this boat does go to scrap, for first dibs on those!
