==Biography==
Spencer was born in Melbourne〔(John Spencer - a brief biography )〕 and moved to Eketahuna in 1933. He spent most of his life in New Zealand.〔( John Spencer - obituary )〕
He was a well-known designer of sailing boats of all sizes, including the Cherub, Javelin (NZ) 〔( Javelin class designer )〕 and Flying Ant classes of sailing dinghies.His designs used thin plywood,hard chines,a vertical stem and stern and light displacement. The minimum weight for a Cherub hull was 110 lbs.
Spencer's most famous design was arguably the 62-foot hard-chined ''Infidel'', later known as ''Ragtime'', which he designed and built for Tom Clark, a New Zealand industrialist. ''Ragtime'' was launched in late 1964 and went on to win the 1967 Auckland Class A Championship. Eventually sold to US owners, ''Ragtime'' won the 1973 and 1975 Honolulu Transpac Races, the 2008 Transpac Tahiti Race, and Division II of the 2008 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
