Buying a Lark Barker, Parker, Rondar, Ovington Barker, Parker, Rondar, Ovington Buying a Lark Over the 40 years Larks have been in production over 2500 hulls have been made. Some of which are owned and raced regularly, however many are sitting in dinghy parks or garages providing a safe habitat for an abun- dance of wildlife. The materials used and build quality of the Lark means that virtually all of these hulls could be restored with minimum expense and therefore offer an excellent opportunity for sailors on a budget. This means you can buy a Lark second hand from as little as £50, they regularly come up on sites like E-bay, Apollo Duck and in Yachts and Yachting and Dinghy Sailing Magazine as well as on the lark web-site www.larkclass.org . So when shopping for a Lark what should you expect to get for your money: Booking Form Boat Numbers 1-1838 – Baker Lark Boat Numbers 1839-2454 Parker Lark Baker was the original Lark builder from 1967 right Parker took over building the Lark and built a huge num- up until the late 1970’s and built the vast majority of ber of Larks throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s, including Larks in terms of numbers.

Prices start from £7500 on the water. Warning : Never use a number from a boats sail to determine its hull number since a large number of sails are sold second hand and the numbers are not changed from boat to boat, also University Larks often had sail numbers 1-6 rather than the boat number, but clearly the boats were not Lark 1, 2, 3 etc. Equipment Second hand Larks come with a variety of equipment, and many are missing some vital fitting, decent racing sails and covers etc. The Lark web-site is by far the best place to get advice on fitting out your Lark with docu- ments and photos to download http://www.larkclass.org/page/page.php?editorial_id=18 as well as tuning advice and more advice on what to look out for when buying a second hand Lark. If you still have a question why ask a question on the forum http://www.larkclass.org/forum/forum.php or contact the Lark committee http://www.larkclass.org/contact/contact.php and well will promise to answer your question. Whatever your standard of sailing the versatility and durability of a Lark combined with the exhilarating sailing and close competition won’t disappoint. Happy shopping!

  • Portsmouth Number List 2019
    Portsmouth Number List 2019 The RYA Portsmouth Yardstick Scheme is provided to enable clubs to allow boats of different classes to race against each other fairly. The RYA actively encourages clubs to adjust handicaps where classes are either under or over performing compared to the number being used. The Portsmouth Yardstick list combines the Portsmouth numbers with class configuration and the total number of races returned to the RYA in the annual return. This additional data has been provided to help clubs achieve the stated aims of the Portsmouth Yardstick system and make adjustments to Portsmouth Numbers where necessary. Clubs using the PN list should be aware that the list is based on the typical performance of each boat across a variety of clubs and locations. Experimental numbers are based on fewer returns and are to be used as a guide for clubs to allocate as a starting number before reviewing and adjusting where necessary. The list of experimental Portsmouth Numbers will be periodically reviewed by the RYA and is based on data received via PY Online. Users of the PY scheme are reminded that all Portsmouth Numbers published by the RYA should be regarded as a guide only. The RYA list is not definitive and clubs should adjust where necessary. For further information please visit the RYA website: http://www.rya.org.uk/racing/Pages/portsmouthyardstick.aspx RYA PN LIST - Dinghy No. of Change Class Name Rig Spinnaker Number Races Notes Crew from '18 420 2 S C 1111 0 428 2000 2 S A 1112 3 2242 29ER 2 S A 907 -5 277 505 2 S C 903 0 277

  • Rigging Lark 2252
    Rigging Lark 2252 Introduction This booklet was inspired by reading the Wayfarer guide to rigging and racing. The wayfarer guide includes a lot more information than just rigging and is worth a read even if you sail a different class. This guide describes how Lark 2252 is rigged and will hopefully help those new to Lark sailing that has an older boat. It is not the definitive way to rig and some things might change as I gain more experience sailing this exciting and rewarding class. If you have one of the Rondar Larks or are thinking about setting up the control lines and rigging from scratch then consult the rigging guide written by Simon Cox and available from the class website. Lark 2252 was built by Parkers in 1989. Although it is a MK2 much of the rigging is similar to the MK1s. I believe in keeping things as simple as possible and only having adjustable controls you actually adjust on the water. However, if you need to adjust controls they need to be easy to use and fall to hand. While the latest shiny gadgets and brand new sails may look nice, if your basic boat handling and tactics are poor you’ll still sail slowly whatever you spend. After all, what good are those £800 new sails if you’re always in someone’s dirty wind! Finally, join the class association, everyone is very friendly and helpful and you’ll be doing your bit to keep the class alive. Garry Packer 10th July 2004. Hull Make sure your hull is smooth; fill the worst imperfections with gel coat filler or epoxy and microballons and sand wet with 600 – 1200 paper.

  • The 49Er Is the Two Person One-Design Skiff Which Has
    The Julian Bethwaite designed B14 has been built by Ovington boats since 2001. With the 29er, 49er, Musto Skiff and the 18foot skiff the world class range of skiffs now numbers five. The Boat Ovington's 'secret' in building long lasting epoxy boats is in our ability to apply a polyester gel coat to an epoxy laminate. The hugely popular B14 is a lightweight, 2 person, non-trapeze skiff with blistering performance and a strong international following. The boat enjoys a very large active fleet in the UK. Outstanding power to weight ratio is the key to the B14's blistering performance which is enhanced by a sophisticated rig. A wide range of body weights can remain competitive in all conditions and because of the light loads and easily driven hull form it returns an outstanding performance relative to effort. The Ovington B14 is made from epoxy resins using the unique tried and tested system that successfully makes the fastest Flying Fifteens and International 14s. There changes made to the deck mould to improve ergonomics and pole launching have revolutionised the strength of the hull and made handling the spinnaker easier. Specification Overall Length 6.07 m Waterline Length 4.25 m Beam (sailing) 3.8 m Beam (travelling) 1.66 m Hull Weight 62 kg Mast Height above sheer line 6.25m Main 12 sq.m Jin 5.2 sq.m Asymmetric Spinnaker 29.2 sq.m Designer Julian Bethwaite Boat Options Hull Option 1 Complete boat ready to sail – EX sails.
