South Australian State Champions Deb Colebatch and Ashley Barcley in Powderburn

Welcome to the South Australian NS14 Association. The NS14 is an Australian designed sailing dinghy, intended for competitive family sailing. It has a simple rig, is light enough to be lifted from a trailer (fully rigged) into the water by 3 persons of average strength, requires only reasonable fitness to sail, and is affordable by the private sailor. Contact us for more information.

21/09/08 - Are we there yet????
It seems to have been long winter, but it’s almost over. Brighton and Seacliff members came out in force for the bi-annual working bee. The club is scrubbed and rubbed and spruced and ready for action. Opening day is set for 11th October and I am looking forward to it with great anticipation. Read more >>

21/09/09 - Andrew Burdon's construction of the Stu Friezer designed Moondance.
This is a collation of the all the Newsletter updates over the last couple of years about the sagas and excitements of building our own NS14. There have been highs and lows and heaps of swearing an perseverance. I hope the reading of this might inspire others to take on the challenge, no matter how long it takes them. Construction of this Stu Friezer designed Moondance hull began on 11th July 2006 and is due for launching on 11th October 2008. Read more>>

14/09/08 - New FORUM for the NS14
We have received a number of emails requesting a forum, so we have set up a free (you will notice it has ads) new FORUM for the NS14. The old forum is gone so any vitally important posts will need to be reposted on the new forum. Depending on the usage, we will consider upgrading this feature (without ads) in the future. The URL of the new forum is http://ns14.hqforums.com

SA end of season round up
Another series is sailed and another season is over. I can tell you that there has been somewhat of a changing of the guard this year with Debbie Colebatch and Ashley Barclay in Powderburn finishing on top in the state titles with a clean sweep of six wins from six races. Dave Gordon and Lisa Brock in Alternative Pathway reluctantly but graciously handed back the trophy that they have owned for several years. I’m sure they will continue to provide excellent competition and will definitely be the ones to watch in the next season. But congratulations to Deb and Ashley for a well deserved win. They are also club champions this year. Read more>>
