I've recently become the new owner of 2692 and I'm interested to find out the original name, I believe the design is a september girl but I'm not sure of the builder.

According to the year book your boat IS a Septemper Girl originaly named HAWKWIND from around 1973 built by Keith Probert.

Use curved cauls inside & out. Either brace them somehow using clamps, levers, straps etc., of drill small holes though plans & causal in the scarf area, and put some steel studding through to tighten everything up. You can always fill the holes later with plugs cut to match the grain.  I did it this way on a couple of stove in planks on 1620, and the reaps can only be located by counting the scarf joints.

I'll mail you some details

The information is correct according to the 1974 year book. She was probably finished by her first owner L H Brearley at Banbury SC.

Come up to Roadford Lake on June 8th/9th for your nearest classic event - just across the Devon border on the A30 from Launceston. See link

Correction: June 7th & 8th - Saturday and Sunday.

I think jacko has a couple of full sheets left.....

Keith,
Thanks for the info. I have stripped all the fittings and have started stripping the varnish and paint inside. It all looks pretty good apart from acouple of small patches. I thin I am going to have a go at the planks before I do any more. I think keeping the shape is going to be the biggest challenge due to the size of the hole. I would imagine I am going to make a template from the other side and fit the plank to that otherwise I will end up with a flat spot.
Cheers

Rod and Jo,
Sounds like a plan,don't suppose you have any photos?

Hello, I have just bought 2692. She needs a bit of TLC including repairing a 1' square hole in the bottom. Does anyone know where I can get the matching plywood to do this?
plus is the information correct re her original name and make? I am in Mylor in Cornwall, are there any classic events we could attend?
Cheers
Len

Tony and Pat,
Thanks for the replies. I have already started stripping the inside and underneath is some good quality timber. Any ideas where I can get some replacement planks? Also will any alloy mast sails fit?
Len

Len, if the hull is planked in 7mm plywood then you will have a problem finding new stuff at that thickness - it's unobtainable these days (if somebody know otherwise, let me know!). The usual source of half decent plywood is Robbins Timber (Bristol). However, some local timber merchants may have a limited stock of BS1088 plywood. 6mm ply is readily available - go for 5-ply if possible.
