Calypso is now at least 52 years old. Launched in January 1971 as “Arieto”, hull #1 of the “Limited Edition” C&C designed, Bruckmann built 43s.
My understanding is she was trucked directly to and commissioned/launched in Florida just in time to make the first race of the 1971 SORC. (First in class C, 10th overall.) Based on some of the issues we discovered during Calypso’s recent restoration I suspect they were still bolting hardware to the deck while motoring out to the starting line. Today Calypso doesn’t look a day over 29 thanks to the timeless design by the C&C Design team and the new topsides/deck paint.
