Profile

A plywood flyer from the board of New Zealand John Spencer. Her sister Whispers II, proved very fast in last year's race. Owner Philip Bates spent the last 12 months personally building this boat and will no doubt put the same dedication into it sailing. Given a good share of downwind conditions she must be up with the early finishers.
