Gwyl Blaser Posted March 17, 2015 Report Posted March 17, 2015 I was watching the start of the Volvo Ocean Race leg 5 on live youtube and they had a the helicopter circle one of the sailing ships in the fleet that was part of the spectator fleet that was called the Spirit Of New Zealand. it looks to be a fantastic ship and one that would look wonderful in a bottle. Has anyone heard of this ship? Does anyone know if there are plans or drawings available for it. Here is a link http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=193054 Gwyl 1 Quote
John Fox III Posted March 18, 2015 Report Posted March 18, 2015 Greetings Gwyl, It is indeed interesting looking, lost of cabins astern of the masts, but doable! <G> I googled the name, and found the school site, which listed the following, which could possibly lead to a contact for the plans: Ship Designers: Ewbank Brooke and Associates Built: 1986 by Thackwray Yachts Limited and Spirit of Adventure Trust, Auckland Anchor's A Weigh!

Gwyl Blaser Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks John. It does look like a doable and fun ship to model. I am going to try to obtain some plans if possible. I will keep the group posted on this. Gwyl Quote
