Robert,

When I was a yungin’ I was a foredeck monkey on  a C & C 35 and 38 in LIS.  
Golden Peace raced against Christopher Dragon many a time.  My powerboat is 
named Rogue and I always think of the Ericson 39 Rogue who was on the line as 
well.

Good times and great fleets and sailing with Butch was a hoot.

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

                I may have asked you previously, but were you involved with the 
42 Custom.  Six were produced in or about 1976.  I believe mine was the last.

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.
