PANACEA was custom designed by Charley Morgan and built by Morgan Yacht for drugstore magnate Jack Eckerd Clearwater, Florida. Originally Jack had not intended to race which was a bit disappointing to all of us at Morgan Yacht. However that all changed when my partner Bruce Bidwell and I recommended the great local sailor, and my old shipmate, Harold Balcom for the post of Captain.
It didn't take Harold long to conscript the "best of the best" for crew and afterguard for our new pride and joy and plan a racing campaign. And race they did with Eckerd in the post of navigator they proceeded to knock off a series of wins that made all of us sit up and take notice. (we will post her record here as soon as verified, along with her principal dimensions and more details ed.)
