Very sorry to hear that and very best wishes for the future, hope you manage to beat it. Thanks for all your work as administrator, when I bought my WB about 7 years ago this forum was absolutely invaluable. I'm afraid my IT skills are woefully inadequate to help. All the very best from WB 93

Forum Information / Administrator Wanted!!
Last post by Rick - March 02, 2026, 06:55:06 AM
After some 15 years managing this site, it's time I retired - I also have cancer and the outlook doesn't look too good at present. So it's time I handed over. Anyone fancy taking over the site? It's written in PHP and is relatively straightforward.

If interested please contact me at admin@winklebrig.org

Regards to all

Hi Rod,

I have WB 122 and it is without any number in the boat. Only nr. 122 in the mainsail.
The insurance company in the Netherlands makes no issue about that. It was no problem to get insured.
A solution is that you make your own serialnumber. Screw it in your boat and there you have it.

Greetings, Barend

Hi Folks,

Does any one have the measurements for the 3 cut out rear cradle for the boom, think it is also used for transporting, or to rest the boom to either Centre, Port or starboard,, It is basically 2 poles that come up from the transom and is bridged over the engine/rear lockers has 3 U shaped cut outs to hold the Mast when down the boom and gaff, would be so helpful as I'm not near the boat at the moment, Thanks In Advance for any help.
