north south...one for sale in inverness....one on the clyde (?) ...one on the forth ...one on the tyne....two on the lakes....

any in still in Wales?

thanks for replying slop idol...I actually think the 762 is a better thought out boat for the UK market, but the platu could shape up to be a really good international bet.

We had 75 racing in lake Garda for the Europeans back in 2004....

Great boat loved sailing them, very hard to sail well and hard to keep under control down wind in big winds.

when we have raced against the local bene 25 weve managed to be faster, but your right, as an international class i would def go for the bene over the 762.

so that makes it about 6 and counting....

given you need less crew for both the schplatu and the 762, and can sleep some of them on board, I am surprised the bloody 1720 ever took off!

yup the ben25 is not the fastest boat around but she is a joy to sail small version of a mumm 30.

We still have one near Inverness for sale.

Someone coming up from the South Coast this weekend to see it.

Will let you know if it sells.
