grant 40 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Brilliant move Mr Orge. Love the interior, you can't forget you're in a Spencer. Great rig too, why be convientional if you don't need too? I think John S was brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites

rigger 47 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Great News David Will do my best to get up to GH for the welcome party Now to stir - how much aluminium? - how much use will the bow thruster get? Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 310 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Congrats David. She's a great boat. Hope to see you out there over the hollidays! Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wooohooo, congrats Squid. Actually it's all a big joke wheels - Ogre hasn't bought a boat - this was all a big ruse to pull you out for your 10,000th! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'm back - we went for a celebratory dinner. Grass clippings and rice - need to get used to it. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Classic Spencer - a plywood box! Looks nice. What design? Specs? etc? ? ? My understanding is it was John Spencer's last keelboat designed for Doc Bayliss as an ocean cruiser. 3 skins of ply adds up to 1 and 1/4 in (21mm?). 19 m, draws 2.4 , beam only 3.4m, disp 12000kg, Haven't been able to find waterline. In fact if anyone has any info I don't please come forward. Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Definitely a slippery boat, think I know a guy who raced to...Noumea? on her and was impressed. Well done. Heaps of different ways of serving grass clippings and rice, in no time at all you will be wondering why people waste their money on anything else. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wooohooo, congrats Squid. Well worthy of a 10,000th post methinks. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Great News David Will do my best to get up to GH for the welcome party Now to stir - how much aluminium? - how much use will the bow thruster get? I though you might be able to teach me the order to reduce sail, never sailed a schooner before. Aluminium? Only the rig - sorry Tim, but it does have booms, at least two. Bow thruster? - wondered what that hole was. Link to post Share on other sites

John B 106 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Brilliant, we've had a few runs against her in our old boat and the newer one in the tallships/classics in the BOI. I never did get her history .. a Spencer.. development on New World? Link to post Share on other sites
Mothership 6 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 So We heard about this all the up here in Denerau. Congratulations, looking forward to the first cruise! What does she draw? Can probably park her outside - see you later in the week Link to post Share on other sites
