BillB Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I was looking through the Spindrift line on B&Bs Web Page and the picture of the Spindrift 12S looks like the bow is higher than the other models of Spindrift. Is the bow really higher or is it just the perspective of the picture? Anyone have a profile picture of the 12S they could post? Bill B Quote

Bill B As far as I know, I am the only one to ever build the Spindrift 12S. The hull is identical to the cat's hull. What is different is the foredeck. Everything else is pretty much the same. The spars are different and there is a fore stay and two shrouds. The sails are different too. The 12S can be rigged as a sloop or as a cat, using the same sails. Quote

I'm actually shopping for my next project, looking to build a 10 to 12 foot craft for fishing and rowing and like the look of the Spindrift. I will not be building the sail options for the boat. I could buy a factory made craft, but prefer to build and personalize. :-) Bill Quote
John Burritt Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Bill - go back to the B & B web site and look at the new 12 footer, Mandy. This may be just what you're looking for. Quote
