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

Hi Simon,

We race 6m's regularly at Fleetwood. We have 15 boats in our fleet.

We have all designs / styles of boats, from some 30+ years old right up to Dave Hollom's new "Seabird" design.

You, and anyone else are welcome to join us, as a guest, for a visit any time with or without a certificate! (Obviously not at the Nationals!!)

Enjoy your 6m

Best wishes

Derek.

Thank you Derek!
