Hello all, Our search for our next boat to head offshore is finally over, and we take possession tomorrow to begin a major refit on her. She is a 1978 Fast Passage 39, and the original owner wanted us to be her next caretakers, despite us saying no - they made an offer we couldn't refuse, and we knew that boats like this don't come along often (only 36 were made by Philbrooks right here in Sidney, and she has spent most of her life coastal cruising, so is lightly used for an offshore boat).
This means that we must place Callisto up for sale. The news came along very suddenly, so Callisto is still very much in cruising mode with the fridge and freezer stocked with food, and we have plans to cruise a few times before early July before diving into a refit with Halcyon Passage at the boatyard. If you're looking for a solid and well-equipped, ready-to-cruise C&C (located near Victoria, BC), send me a message and I will forward you more info - I am still compiling all the upgrades done since 2019 - along with some photos, and a list of those items which I would be doing this year if we were not selling. I have gone over every inch of this boat since we bought her, and it's all on the FB page in my sig, so there are no surprises here. In case you were wondering, we considered outfitting Callisto for offshore, but decided against this plan for two main reasons: we want a private aft cabin for crew, and a bit more stowage space for extended offshore voyaging, as I am hopeful that we will continue beyond Mexico... I will miss the C&C gang for sure, so might just drop by on occasion to say hello. Fair winds! -- Shawn Wright shawngwri...@gmail.com S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto
