Spencer Boats Ltd.

Spencer Boats. Ltd. of Vancouver, BC, Canada, was formed as a partnership between Phil Hantke and designer John Brandlmayr to build eighteen- foot plywood cruisers and runabouts. In the early 1960’s the product line changed to fiberglass hulled custom and semi-custom sailboats. Over the years, dozens of different models were produced in sizes ranging from 28 to 53 feet. The company developed a reputation for high quality and offshore capable yachts, particularly with the 35, 44 and 53 foot models. The exact relationship with the company and the SUN line of sailboats is unknown (to this author - 2008). In 1997 the company was reorganized under new ownership and the company name was changed to Spencer Yachts Ltd. Seven different models were available from 35 to 46 feet. Darcy and Malcolm Wilkinson, veteran offshore sailors, became owners of the firm some time around 2006. Spencer Yachts Ltd Malcolm Wilkinson Box 72011 4479 West 10th Avenue, Vancouver, B.C.
