The Hull / Re: kind of wood
Last post by VROUW KIRSTEN - October 13, 2023, 06:36:22 AMHello,
my WB 120 at that time had softwood (maybe Spruce) as end pieces on aluminum spars and mast, marine plywood behind GRP as bulwark and waterproof glued plywood on rudders and centerboards.
I built the bulwark, gaff and boom from oak during the refit, the mast from Canadian Spruce and the centerboards from marine grade aluminum.
I sanded the wooden rudder blade and sealed it with several cages of epoxy resin. I covered the benches in the cockpit with oak.
Hope this helps.

Miscellaneous / Re: Looking for a Brig
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.

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).
