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 Tuesday at 12:13 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:13 AM 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.
