Introduction
The National 12 is a two person, two sail, twelve foot long sailing dinghy. They are sailed extensively in the UK. The National 12 is a development class with a long, famous and intriguing history. The class was started in 1936 by the Royal Yachting Association as an alternative to the more expensive International 14s . Because the class can change the rules the boats has evolved over time, moving from wood and clinker construction to high performance glass and carbon fibre - foam composite boats. The Twelve has developed into an exciting racing boat which performs well in all conditions and is a joy to sail.
