CLASSIC LAUNCH PHANTOM – Name change or just been hiding up a creek
Recently woody John Dawson sent in the photos above of a launch named – Phantom that he found on fb. A quick search of the WW archives came up with a big fat O, so maybe there has been a name change at some stage.
John is a man of few words, normally just emails in photos, so we will have to assume from the photos that she has had a recent paint job.
Any woodys able to ID the boat and tell us about her past and confirm the name.
I CAN CONFIRM THAT COPIES OF THE 2025 MAHURANGI CRUISING CLUB YEARBOOK ARE NOW IN STORE – well done Steve Horsley – best issue that I have seen – $20 well spent.
Available At These Outlets
The first woody that emails me the name of the boat on page 46, gets a WW burgee watematawoodys@gmail.com
