Sprint15b.jpg Sprint15a.jpg Not being an active class association member, I was not aware of the shortage of second hand boats until reading this thread today so I hope it is OK to post this here rather than in the boats for sale section for the time being. We intend putting our Sprint 15 1941 on t...
Just purchased 1941 from a member at Draycote Water to replace 1700 which is now for sale on Apollo Duck and this site. She will be used as a second boat by my wife and I at Wells Next The Sea on the North Norfolk Coast. Our first boat is an Enterprise which we race at Mid Warwickshire YC at Leaming...
A big thank you to Steve Sawford for faciltitating the repair of my mainsail recently The inboard end of the batten pockets had come away from the luff.
