eruptn 95 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Many were home builds. There have been a few down this way, good lake boats. Tended to be underballested in a breeze. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Speed wise they're apparently close to a Noelex 22, but in the few times we sailed against one we (Noelex) were quite a bit quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregW 28 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I had one. Sort of a lapstrake ply version of a Noelex 22 based around the Flying Dutchman rig. Mostly built in the South Island. IIRC there was a boatbuilder who knocked out a few (20 maybe) hulls that were then finished off by the owners the rest were home built from scratch. There was an article in Sea Spray in the 70s. Really a big day sailer lovely to sail but needs to be sailed intelligently in a breeze (say 20+) because ballast is just enough to ensure self righting but no more. If you want a big sailing dinghy with a shelter cabin then these are OK. But; it took me ages to sell mine 20 years ago (just saying). Noelex 22 is probably a better choice overall for this type of boat. There are also other options like the E 5.9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chopper73 0 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi would sails from a sigrid fit a noelex 22? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eruptn 95 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 They will be very similar.... a couple of extra or missing inches could be very annoying in the long term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chopper73 0 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks, when you say annoying, do you mean in terms of performance or fit. Need some new sails for my noelex 22 and pretty hard to come by and have found some sigrid for sale l and very similar in size. Shopping on price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eruptn 95 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I was thinking about the fit, if you have to get a couple of inches removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
