Well It's Casper the hungry monk?

There are actually several Phantoms sporting the name Casper, caused by people naming their boats without checking to see if the name is unique within the class. I have no idea which was the first Casper in the class....

Must be something abouts Phantoms and their desire to investigate the
depths..Our man left his bungs out first time afloat and complained of sluggish performance until that inevitable moment of realisation.

just a quick note, the phantom didnt completely sink, just very nearly.... someone at the club borrowed it and left the front tank bung out and it filled when he was sailing, he made his way to shore at the end of the racing and he heeled it over it took on a cockpit full of water and just stayed afloat, it was a nightmare to get back on to the beach.

Yep that's it..
I didn't think it was bad for the money. No traps or kites for this, but the day he beats me in it.. On will go mine.. |

The boat purchased would most likely be 941 this is listed as being in tonbridge & appeared as sold yesterday or very soon after the post about the purchase appeared. Appears to be a good boat for the money. http://sailingdinghies.apolloduck.co.uk/display.phtml?aid=12 1237 |

I would put a trapeze on the pm if I thought the mast was up to it. It has never occurred to me to put on an assy.....until now.

Is it just me or is this boat really for GRF to put a trapeze and Assy on - now that he realises that the Blaze doesn't need either!!???

970 odd sounds like one of the later Rondar built boats. A guy at Hunts had 930 for a few years, it looked good but was undoubtedly overweight (didn't seem to slow him down though). Now they all have the Epoxy boats with carbon sticks so it has developed in to an arms race... The Vandercraft built exposy boats do have deck issues becaus the strengthening is in the wrong place. Ovi have sorted this out though. |
