Was at the Nowra tip shop today picking up some plant pots for the ex when this drew my attention.








The hull is fibre glass and in pretty good nick with only a few chips. The trailer could be functional very quickly. The two wheels are a bit shot and are the ones sitting on the deck. The decking is plywood and could be easily replaced or even touched up. The mast is missing but the boom and two sails are there. The centre board is still in a bag and there are two sail and the boom is present.

They want $20 for it. I would take it like a shot but have nowhere to work on it. Reckon it would make a great kids boat!

Old NS14?

Looks quick, whatever it is.

NS would be my guess, also.
Add a trapeze & a kite and it could be a Manly Graduate. MG 14.

Same, looks like a Northbridge Senior 14, but with those non slips, could be a MG

If it was 12 feet long, it may be a Cherub. Some of those hulls were rank, but they went like the clappers. I bought one for my younger sisters - they never made it past the leeward mark before sinking!

NS 14 (or maybe MG 14) would be my bet. looks too long to be a cherub, and some of the lines look to be outside class rules

No the mast was there but was sold separately. Obviously someone else was looking for one. Boom is there though Yara. I would take, would have when I first saw it but circumstances won't allow it. Got enough on my plate worrying about Minke on the hard in Suva!

NS14 but not from the local club. Nowra sailing club used to have quite a big NS14 class. I had one very similar to this one.

I don't know if it is still up there but for $20 and 20 hours of tlc and some pocket money it could be transformed back to its former glory!
