Hi Peter,
Great to hear from another Gwen owner. I see your address is Canberra, did you sail from there or were you in NSW when you had the Gwens ?
Pity the class couldn't be re-surrected like...

Thanks fellows,
Back to basics it is. Will start with all new mixing containers and re-calculate everything. The very small amounts of epoxy must be the problem so I'll go for a larger amount and...

Can anyone please help ???

Hi All
We bought our Gwen 606 in the mid 60's possibly 64/65, it was secondhand then and had an aluminium mast that was some years old then. Would imagine that alloy masts were in existance in the...

Hi Woodeneye,
Thanks for the photos. Minimum weight was 140 lbs or 64 kgs

Thanks Woodeneye.

Sounds like the J5 is what you really want. Go fo it.

You would find the gwen a lot easier to sail than a 16 or 18 footer, Nothing like a laser. As with all old boats there will be plenty of work to do before you get your feet wet.
What info do you...

Damian,

Still waiting on your reply re written information

Hi Peter,
If it's an old one, then I have the measurements for them. But the rig was modernised in the 70's I think, with a deck sweeping jib to try and compete with the Cherubs.
Just interested...

Paul,
A further question. The jib seems to be the later version.Would you be able to send me the 3 outer measurements of the jib please ?
Graeme

Hi Paul,
Good to hear from you. Did you acquire the Gwen in Townsville or come down to Tassie and pinch it ?? How about some photos of the cockpit where the spinnaker shute comes out ?
Only ever...

What written info do you have ?Lists of boats and owners or registrations etc ?
Can you share ? Are you able to send me copies--anything is interesting.

Yes, Remember the deck like that, Sailed at Deviot sailing Club for years.
