I've just bought an Alan Buchanan 24.5ft Spartan, built 1957 in Ipswich, and I'm trying to find other owners of similar craft to quiz about their sailing performance. Has anyone seen any Spartans on their travels?
All I can tell you is that a few years ago I nearly bought one down in Poole A really nice clinker yacht and a lot of boat for the money The owner told me that they were very well balanced and relatively fast.
