Straight Laced 15 Posted March 20, 2024 Share Posted March 20, 2024 Probably should be a good example of IOR landfill, but I guess it deserves to be brought back to life. Predecessor to the Farr 727 and sistership to Fantzipants. The rebuild will start later this year, when I get some time to move it out of its current nest. 4 Quote Link to post

Straight Laced 15 Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Officially a year into the restoration and should probably post a few of the many photos taken so far. What I thought was going to be a fairly straight forward resto when I first saw her has turned into an almost complete rebuild when I finally got inside and started digging into it. New cabin is built and will be positioned in place once a bit more of the interior is done. Hoping to be in the water sometime around Christmas. 2 1 Quote Link to post

waikiore 497 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Well done, the Fantzipants was in some ways a purer design than the 727 and nice to sail, I recall watching the original racing in our quarter ton series in 72 (maybe the first regatta for the class) and there is another up the Tamaki called Sir Duke that a young guy is sailing around and looking after very well.

waikiore 497 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 For interest Titus Canby is racing in the classics during the squadron winter series this year too , and some of the crew are classics as well! 1 Quote Link to post
