Last post by David Bone - September 08, 2023, 03:03:13 PMWell then Kev,
You have an unrivalled choice of two Winkle Brigs of quite differing specifications.
WB 62, Pat Arnold's boat was well developed by Martin Cartwright, is very well equipped, offers different sailing options and has an upgraded, first class roller-coater trailer.
WB 7, Rick Ladds' is an early boat, unmodified and requiring some work, offered at an attractive price.
Winkle Brigs are very robustly constructed of good design, so age or cosmetic condition should not over influence your choice. All wear parts are easily refurbished, repaired or replaced.
David Cawston's WB 15, owned from new has been well used throughout and Gerard Brown's WB 18, is a prime example of an early boat well restored.
Take the plunge, I am sure you won't be disappointed.
David.

Last post by Rick - September 06, 2023, 02:55:36 PMHi - in case you're still looking, I have an old WB which needs some work, hence very cheap! Comes with a trailer and is almost original in every way.

Though WB#107 is not for sale, you are welcome to come and look over the boat and discuss its attributes as a prelude to viewing a 'for sale' craft.

In case you did not buy David Bone's No.107 and are still looking for a Winkle Brig, I am about to put No.62 "Brigand" (ex"Winkle") on the market. I can email details.

Last post by Pat Arnold - July 13, 2023, 04:35:54 PMHello Kevin,
You may well have got yourself a boat by now but, if not, I am about to put my Winkle Brig (No.62 "Brigand", ex"Winkle") on the market. I can email details but FYI I am in Norfolk (so quite a way from Cornwall).

Last post by Dom - April 27, 2023, 04:56:22 PMHello John,
Thank you for sharing with us all the sad news of the loss of your Dad.
I only met Eric once, but I can still recall his enthusiasm & keen sense of humour. I can only echo Barend's comments by saying that we will all think of him whilst sailing & working on our WB's. He designed and built a boat which always seems to make people smile.
Thank you,also, for providing your own Winkle Brig website, which I have really enjoyed - and further enhancing your Dad's memory.
All the best
