Bill, I will search my photo file for any photos I may already have and ask the few relatives (still alive) that lived in Pentwater to see if they have any pictures from the past. My grandfather sold the fishing boat/business in the 50’s and moved to Florida on doctor’s orders. The hard life of a commercial fisherman took its toll on his health. Once my father joined the Navy (Korean war) and experienced what California offered in women and weather he never went back to breaking ice to catch fish.
I may also have a picture from when I visited Pentwater Yacht Club in 1989. I was towing a J-24 to Kingston Ontario for the 1989 J-24 Worlds and stopped by Pentwater to visit some elderly relatives. I dropped into PYC and exchanged burgees (I am a member of Seattle Yacht club) and received a warm welcome and tour. Whatever I find I will send to your private email address.

Unfortunately because of high water and its age the building will likely be replaced in the next year with a new structure. If you have any old pictures or such from ymthat era qmi would be interested. I sail my 36 out of Pentwater.

I suggest we wait a few days to be sure no other cnc-lister with a +-35 foot boat is interested in playing with such a fun sail. I noticed Whitehall Michigan is not that far from Pentwater and Grand Haven. My father’s family was in the commercial fishing and cargo schooner business for generations out of that area. In Pentwater the DeYoung family home/net shed became the Pentwater Yacht Club house when my grandfather sold the boat and moved to Florida.

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.

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.

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.

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. >From 1999 to 2015 we raced and cruised Calypso around the PNW including a 2015 >summer trip around Vancouver Island. At the end of that summer it was clear >the 44 years of hard miles and exposure had taken its toll. There was rotted >balsa core in +-20 sq ft of deck, multiple bulkheads with rotted plywood near >the hull, 300 old fastener holes that needed epoxy filling, tired deck, >topsides, and interior paint, and many more old boat issues. 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.
