BNG 42 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hardly a cruising version of Ragtime/Infidel as the poster say tho... just that they are Spencer designs. BP is actually better looking IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,413 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think she looks better with the white stripe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John B 100 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Didn't I take that photo ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,413 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I believe so john (it's on my work computer). Chewing Gum I love the boat. I'm really enjoying cruising a boat with serious performance,and she's plenty comfortable for 2. Designer says she draws 2.6 but I'm aground at 2.7, could be a calibration issue. That limits us to 2 hrs either side of the tide but at less than 10% the cost of the lical marina i live with it. We have finally started a few of the little jobs upgrades I want. These were postponed due to offspring doing stuff that sucked up surplus funds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 100 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yeah the old 286 I have for a brain seems to recall it. Must have been circa 2005 or 6 and it was in the tall ships regatta. But hey... I'm famous cos I have a photo on the interwebs! ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
