madyottie 82 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Is the black panther up the river a Spencer , looks like a 60 Spencer , most were ketchs Are you sure? I'm pretty sure Sea Safari was a schooner as well, but had a daggerboard for the shallows. I could be wrong tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 400 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Built Glendowie by John ........ cant remember yet, but owned for 20plus years by the late great Trevor Coubray a wonderful and hilarious guy -Mooringologist then commander of Okahu Bay hardstand and friend of yachtsmen everywhere. He took the flathead ford ten out and replaced it with the second hand Bukh 20 driving backwards through belts !! Did she come with the Merv Seefont clinker dinghy that Trev sold her with and was still on board ten years ago at Westpark? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,592 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I believe BP is the original Spencer 60 (19m please). Schooner and an early bulb keel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Myjane 40 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hi no there was no clinker dingy and the Bukh 20 is about to be replaced and the belt systerm works well , the timber work in it is very good and being let go a little will come up very good , paint , and modernizing things for ease of use , there is not many of these left unmollested or out of shape to plan Generous volume inside , plenty of storage , could be made into a very good cruising yacht easly handled and good turn of speed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
