The Dinghy Show is this coming weekend 2nd & 3rd March. Come along to the 12 stand to see N3548, "All Tide Up". She's a Hijack design, designed by David Hollom and is an amateur build she was built by the owner, Nick Copsey, in 2016 and is a rather eye catching metallic orange.

We have class experts on the stand if you want any advice about tuning, boat setup or sailing tips and details about how to buy a new or second-hand 12 if you're thinking about upgrading.

We have various National Twelve videos running including the 1956 Pathe News (with same classic sailing quotes) to the 2006 70th Anniversary documentary (eloquently narrated by Michael Brookman) and the more recent drone footage from Burghfield (no aeroplanes were harmed during the filming!).

We're selling the brand new N12 t-shirt design on the stand (limited stock available at the show) and will take orders for more if we run out.

And we're giving away stickers and sweets for the younger members of the N12 family, so they can tuck in whilst you chat about 12 sailing.
