National 12
It all began in the N12 class. Mike was sailing harder than his boat was and couldn’t afford a new one. So, over a long winter, Aardvark Issues was born. She was one of the first Big Issue designs to be built and it all snowballed from there! Now Aardvark Technologies is one of the main builders of these great little boats.
We can offer 3 designs, The Feeling Foolish, Big Issue 2 and the Burton Cup (2008) winning Paradigm hull shape. All of these hull shapes have been proven to be fast in the right hands across a wide range of conditions.
