I have a blooper. Prior owner said he always gained half a knot when he put
it up and half a knot when he dropped it..Bill Walker Evening Star1981 CnC 36

Martin,
I may still have a Blooper from our Redwing 35 out in the barn. I'm not sure
that it is appropriate but it could be yours for shipping. There is also a
reacher, a staysail and a banana staysail out there. Our Redwing 35 (Red
Pepper) was purchased to compete in the Chi-Mac.

Alan,
I need to amend my previous statement regarding acquiring sails and racing. I,
out of an abundance of nostalgia, feel the need to equip Calypso with a blooper
and fly it during some downwind club race. None of Calypso’s bloopers from the
70’s made it to Seattle so I will start keeping my eye out (maybe some dumpster
diving) for a suitable ¾ oz blooper.
I expect it will be exciting to acquaint Calypso’s co-owner and crew with the
nuances of setting, trimming, and driving under a spin/blooper combo. I have
many hours/miles driving with bloopers from my Transpacs in the 70’s and early
80’s but it has been +-30 years since I last used one. I believe any witnesses
to our first attempts will be thoroughly entertained.
If I was able to pull this off, the 3 second a mile PHRF rating hit would be
worth the fun of flashing the fleet with a blooper. Calypso rarely sails to
its PHRF rating of 93, especially with its old sails, cruising bottom paint,
and casual crew. The last time we corrected out to the podium was in a race
where half the course was upwind/up current in 25 to 30 TWS. Calypso reveled
in the conditions while all those pesky “J” boats suffered from lack of
railmeat and slid off to leeward.
So we may yet enter a race with a downwind leg long enough for a duffer crew to
hoist and fly a blooper.

Hi Martin:
Glad to hear Calypso is coming alive again. Will you continue to race, or have
you retired from racing also? Are you still partnered with what's his name?
I've been racing in a summer series every Sunday, and that will continue till
March. I'll give you a call, the next time I'm cruising in your area.

Calypso’s 5+ year restoration continues, and may be picking up pace. I got
distracted from the rebuild by selling a business, retiring, moving to Port
Ludlow (near Port Townsend WA) and of course, the Covid-19 pandemic. A recap:
Calypso, a C&C design “Limited Edition” built by Bruckmann’s in late 1970,
launched as Arieto in January 1971, hull #1 of +-15 hulls sold. After a
successful racing career out of Boston it was sold to the Great Lakes as first
Phantom then Esta Es and raced in many Chi-Mac races. We purchased her in late
1998 and trucked her out west to Seattle.

Today, most of the major repairs are complete, some needed structural upgrades
added (used the original C&C drawings to guide us), and she is almost ready for
the paint shed planned for this spring or early summer. We will move Calypso
from its Shilshole Bay Marina slip to the Port Ludlow marina as soon as a slip
is available. I can see the marina from my house and drive there in 5 minutes,
6 if there’s traffic so the pace of project completion will pick up
considerably.
Aprox. 5 years ago I switched to following the cnc-list via the digest. The
recent list software upgrade pushed me back to the “full meal deal” of
receiving all the emails. As I now have a good working knowledge of them, I
will chime in if I see any questions from owners of Bruckmann built C&Cs from
the early 70’s.
