My N12s from 84 I think and you can tell . Still a good boat though, she has upset many ents and lasers in club races.
200s from around 1995 I think and is a lot better boat than a lot of the newer ones I have seen. Edited by James Morley |

Fireball was measured in 1981
Contender .. Well .. I have no idea!! I know it was built in Australia ... (AUS368) but havnt been able to track it down to a rough time zone. Going by the above post ... I'd guess 1980 ish. Probably earlier. And of course the Vareo .. 2001 (ish) |

My vintage Cherub was built in New Zealand in 1971. I have an "Eleven Plus" in the garage which is *very* slowly getting done up which must be very late 50s or early 60s I guess. Rupert probably has older boats...

One of my ICs is from 1947......the other, yet to be restored, is a B Class sailing canoe from 1928, though she was registered as an IC in about 1937. |
