Miscellaneous / Selling our Winkle Brig motor launch
« Last post by Graham on July 28, 2019, 11:32:58 AM »
After 5 years we are selling our Winkle Brig, one of a small handful built as motor launches, which has been mentioned on this forum before.
She's finished with all wood top sides and interior, and powered by a Dolphin II 12hp inboard petrol engine, seats up to 7 adults comfortably and is very economical to run.
Currently out of the water on a new trailer at Chertsey, Surrey.
We're looking to sell with or without the trailer, offers in the region of £4500 for the two, or £3500 for the boat only.
For full details and photographs, or to arrange a viewing call me, Graham, on 07517 685925, or email gk.studio7@gmail.com

Alternatively, would anyone like to measure their WB for the handicappers? I've attached the form pages in case someone would like to have a go.

The Rig / Re: Boom Height
« Last post by Ken on July 27, 2019, 11:56:19 PM »
I have a fixed height gooseneck clamped round the mast so homed in on "Boom Height " when wondering if the gooseneck was at the best height.
The interesting and helpful comments highlighted that there are a number of variables in WB rigs so any further ideas on fixed gooseneck height with my high peak mainsail would be appreciated.
Regards
Ken

Gilbert Hayward is organising a South West Gaffers rally on the River Dart on 10th August as part of 'Ditsum Regatta'. He has an annual gaffers race using the OGA T(H)CF handicap with 1 and possibly 2 Winkle Brigs entering. Does anyone know if any Winkle Brig has been measured for this handicap?
