Rob and Matt; thank you for sharing the history of these boats; in viewing the
42 on the photo album, they look like very different boats from the 41s; on
sailboat data.com, they show the flushdeck model only, (the Christopher
Dragon?), and a reference to the Baltic 42s, which , of course used the hull;
this is fascinating: Mat can you share some photos of your 42?
Thanks again!

Hi Matt,
Good to hear from you.
Very much involved. The 42 was a development of the 1975 Canada's Cup
challenger Marauder which lost to Golden Dazy. I was Project Manager for
Marauder and also crewed aboard her for the Two Ton Worlds and the Canada's Cup
racing in Detroit. The flush decked Christopher Dragon was a Custom Shop
production version of Marauder. I was also project manager on that boat as
well, I think. I sailed Bermuda Races and Long Island Sound races aboard her
with Butch Ulmer. I also sailed aboard Keith Burley's C&C 42 Genevieve out of
RHYC. I remember going into a spreaders in the water broach on that boat in the
middle of a spinnaker peel on Burlington Bay! Genevieve is now at the Prince
Edward Yacht Club in Picton, ON.
So, yes, some involvements with 42s. ;-)
I have the Barient 23 self-tailers on our dining room table, but probably won't
disassemble them until Trillium gets uncovered.
Take care, and I look forward to seeing you sometime this summer in Port Dover.
Rob

with the 42 Custom. Six were produced in or about 1976. I believe mine was

Subject: Stus-List Re: While we wait for spring The building on Wallace Road,
which was diagonally opposite the later building on Speers Road, became the C&C
Sales Office and Showroom for a while before the short lived showroom was built
as part of the office complex in Port Credit. The Speers Road building housed a
valve plant before it was acquired and greatly enlarged by the C&C Custom
division. I started work in that plant building Redline 25s under Mike
Houndslow. That must have been in 1969 because Manitou, True North, Bagatelle,
and Red Jacket were in the shop at the time. Rob On Thu, Mar 17, 2022 at 7:10
