Hi Andy No problem with bank transfer. Let me know when you would like to come over. Regards Alan 07768106553

Hi Alan can I come and see the boat and would you take a bank transfer? Thank you, Andy

6T6 is, as said, a 6metre design by Adrian Brewer. It is essentially a fun boat rather than a serious racing design. The plans are still available, new, from Sarik Hobbies.

I've just acquired one of these, care of eBay, at a very reasonable price and I'm picking it up in a weeks time. Never been measured, not registered but ready to sail with a Whirlwind winch. I'm in the Midlands District and I've emailed both Mike Ewart and Bill Green to ask about measurers but what would you recommend that I do? I obviously need to have a good look at it and make good anything that looks iffy but I reckon. it should be okay and I'm going to the MYA AGM so I'm wondering what it might be worth picking up? From the photos it looks entirely conventional in terms of spars with a grooved mast - although I don't know if that's GB or Nylet (who else does groovy masts?) The sails are panelled (like an inverted Y) and the main has 4 battens and there are 2 shrouds each side. Straight jib boom. Any thoughts would be much appreciated please, Simon

6T6 is a 6M .... https://www.allradiosailboats.com/design/6t6

Would the more experienced amongst us be aware of a model yacht named a "6T6". Plans for this unidentified model have turned up and my first thoughts it may be a 10r. Any suggestions of their origins and history would be gratefully received. Thanks in anticipation, Cliff

What is the number of the boat in question

Sale pending

John Request a replacement from me -currently IOM Registrar prefer SAE for the return of the new certificate Nick Cowern

'Pringle' Championship Result We recently participated in the (US1m) Championship at the Space Coast Club in Florida. This has been a personal design project of mine for years, and this season we finally launched the first properly built carbon yacht for the regatta. The result is a huge achievement in the design and construction of this project. A short report is available at the link: HERE

When an IOM measurement certificate has gone missing is there any way a duplicate can be issued ?

Further Information! I've just discovered/remembered that it's 20 years since the 80th celebrations event of the 2nd Yachting Monthly Cup. The first one was won outright by Bill Daniels 1923, 23, &25. So the magazine presented a second one, which cannot be won outright! In 2006 the 80th year Martin Bandey made a celebration of it's 80 anniversary and YM came along & presented the trophy to the winner Me & my son Shaun! So, this 100th anniversary is another good excuse for a celebration! Get yourself a boat & come and join in!

I can vouch for this boat. It performed very well at Fleetwood 2 weeks ago. It's a great boat for Marblehead Classic & Vintage racing, which we do at Fleetwood 4 times a year. I believe that Gosport are also organising some C & V Marblehead racing. At the price............its a steal!! Go on. .........you know you want to!!

Built for Tony Edwards of Robot Yachts ( Currently building the Brit!Pop) to use in the run up to the 2011 World Championship.

Placing on behalf of Eddie - Please contact Eddie via email and not myself. Contact eddiewo@dial.pipex.com for more information. The International One Metre (IOM) “Dead Reckoning”, built by Dave Winder of Winder boats, is for sale. This is one of the fastest IOM’s and in the right hands this boat is capable of winning Championships. A boat to an earlier design came fourth in the British Nationals at Fleetwood after having lead at the end of the second day and others, to this design and similar, have won ranking events. The “Dead Reckoning” design is from the board (these days a computer) of Dave Hollom who has had considerable success in designing both radio and full size sailing craft (see www.hollomyachtdesign.co.uk for details) so that it has a strong design lineage. The boat is extremely well built with about 300gms of correctors strategically placed for best performance. It has a complete set of A, B and C rigs. The A sails are new this Autumn and set upon a brand new mast and controlled by an RMG Winch, a Futaba Rudder, Servo, Receiver and Transmitter, which are all part of the package. The boat has been successfully campaigned by Eddie Warden Owen, over the last two seasons at Gosport, winning a number of races and invariably placing in the top three. However, his big boat commitments, over the coming season, have left little time for radio sailing, hence the reason for selling. Prices in the region of £1350 could secure the boat, which can be viewed at Gosport Model Yacht Club

£140.00

An A rig from 2014 with Bantock mast with top rectangle section. Rigged and fitted with Gizmo. Sails are used. Comes with Nylon over cover/bag. South London but could arrange for it to go to the MYA AGM next month. Thanks Dave
