I didn't realise that one of our regular posters was a Foxcub owner. I complete on mine this week (1979 Super Deluxe bilge-keeler named Merit).

Any thoughts/hints/tips on these?






*await ironic posts saying not to touch with barge-pole from people who think it a little late to start this thread now)*
 
There's also an owners association independant of the yahoo group. The website is still there but I don't know how active it is - it's a few years since I sailed foxcubs - and there was some talk at one stage of it closing down.
Hopefully this will take you to the Association:
foxcub yacht association

Otherwise its copy and paste:

Super little boat. I take it yours is the Mk11 with the rounded coach roof, a forehatch and a compression post in the cabin under the mast step.
Mine is a Mk1 fin keel. I had been looking for a Hunter Europa, but found the Foxcub, and I'm glad I did.
I've a mate who had a new Mk11 bilge keeler which we sailed on the Humber.
He now has a Westerly Sea Lord and came out for a sail with me and was bemoaning the fact he's no longer in touch with his boat like you are on a Foxcub.

I was on the Yahoo groups owners assoc for a while, but it didn't seem to move on a pace and the Yahoo e-mail verification was driving me doo-lally. In the end I couldn't log into my own picture files.

I started a web site but haven't moved much further with it at www.lakesailor.co.uk although it looks like I've sold the Heron so that can become an archive instead of an advert.

Hope it's what you want. Mine suits me down to the ground for day-sailing. I reckon longer than a couple of nights on board would be a bit limiting, depending of course on whether you've been a camper.
