Topper Centerboard

Help! My Topper centreboard and rudder have gone missing. I bought the dinghy second-hand and am in South Africa. I am so upset that I haven’t searched local sites yet – but perhaps you are aware of a source where I can get replacements?

Many thanks.

Enterprise Balers

We recently bought an Enterprise built by Bell Woodworking sail number 8000 + and it has vertical conical self balers about 25mm diametre, does anyone out there no how these work, there seems to be no working parts? It is possible that these are damaged or have something missing, so does anyone know if are they still available and if so where.

Enterprise vs GP14 Vs Wayfarer

admin — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:30:14 +0000

Hello, I am considering a number of boats as a family day sailor which has the potential to do more if need be. I am currently looking at the Enterprise, GP14′s and Wayfarers. People have said that a fiberglass Enterprise would be easier to launch compared to a GP14 or Wayfarer, however ‘may’ be just two small for 2 adults and 2 small children to sail in together. I would appreciate anyones comments on this.

Many thanks in advance.

Enterprise Dinghy – fitting rollocks.

admin — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 07:25:16 +0000

Can anyone help? I recently bought an all-wooden Enterprise, and although I’ll be mostly sailing her, I’d like, if possible, to take the children fishing from time to time. Is it possible to fit rowlocks to an Enterprise, and if so, where should they be positioned? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks, Todd
