Hi Martin,

Yes I remember Dean Shipman.  They had a Ranger 33.  I don't know how many 
Chi/Mac races Phantom participated in and the Chicago Mackinac website doesn't 
go far enough back at least from what I found.  I am glad you connected with 
Jimmy through Dean and happy to know the boat is going strong.

Greg,

Thanks for the additional details from when "Calypso" was "Phantom".  It must 
have been great having 3 classic C designs around during the early years of 
your sailing experience.  I know my 5 years (including 2 
Seattle/LA/Honolulu/Seattle summers) on a C 39 early in my big boat racing 
experience flavored my preference in racer/cruiser designs. (For downwind 
offshore racing I still have a soft spot for the SC 50  and its ability to 
surf.)

Do you remember Dean Shipman who sailed on "Phantom" with Jimmy Walsh?  Dean 
may have been working for the marina where "Phantom" was moored.  I met Dean 
here in the Seattle area when I was working in the electronics manufacturing 
business. At Jimmy's request he came down to Shilshole Bay marina to reconnect 
with the boat and report back  and how its doing nearly 40 years later.

Do you recall how many Chi/Mac races "Phantom" participated in?  Dean mentioned 
a few but did not have any specific details.

Hello Martin,

For "Phantom" that would be Escanaba, MI on the bay of Green Bay in Lake 
Michigan.  It was the pride of our harbor, my hometown  and yes owned by the 
Walsh family.  She and Catalyst C 38, Moon Shell C were the reasons I 
bought a C when I grew up and finally could afford one.

Hi Martin,

 

I don't have a lot in hand at the moment, but there is some on the boat down
in Cali. When I go down I will collect and forward anything pertinent.

Ron,

 

Yes, it would have been Esta Es at Mackinaw in 1997.  The owner was Gene
McCarthy.  Gene's son Glenn would have also been involved.

 

Calypso as "Esta Es (1986 to 1998 based out of the Chicago area) and as
"Phantom" (1978 to 1986, Walsh family based out of the Green Bay area)
participated in many Chicago/Mac races.  I have not found a good source of
the historical results to have an accurate count but my guess is the boat
has raced the Chi/Mac more than 10 times based on past owner comments and
artifacts found onboard.

 

I also expect a C 43 would be a little too big for easy use on Carlyle
Lake.  I have zero interest in taking Calypso into Lake Washington as it is
my preference to sail on one tack for long enough to eat a sandwich.  Puget
sound is big enough but these 43s seemed to be designed for offshore
passages.

 

A few years back we participated in the double handed pursuit race named
"Race to the Straits" (R2S) that started in Seattle on Saturday morning. The
Saturday race course finishes in Port Townsend (+-30 miles).  The fleet
stays the night in PT and enjoys a catered dinner/awards presentation.
Sunday AM the race starts in PT and finishes in Seattle. (Several years we
had 2 or 3 C 43 entered.) It is a popular race that "sells out" each year
with around 100 entries.

 

Often the race course presents significant adverse current. Naturally this
means much "short tacking" the shore to gain some relief.  The last R2S
Calypso entered started in heavy #1 headsail (150%) conditions.  By the time
we passed Double Bluff (1/2 way mark) I was gassed enough to be close to
mutiny and stated we were going to sail on one tack for a few miles. I
estimate I did 22 tacks that day.

Calypso’s 5+ year restoration continues, and may be picking up pace.  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 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.

JP,  I attempt to keep track of the 70’s era 43s. Is Alethea the one mentioned 
in the Sailing Anarchy discussions from 2012 and 2014? Also, and pardon my lack 
of geographic knowledge, which Peninsula are you referring to?

 

Here is a brief note I have from the Sailing Anarchy discussion:

 

SA 2012 and 2014 C 43 thread titled Allthea

This one is serious old school, CCA type design (I think). Found one web page 
with the following quote, "Cuthbertson also recalls fondly the C Customs 43, 
examples of which twice won Class B at SORC."

This one was launched as Allthea (spelling maybe Althea, hard to read on the 
builders placard).

 

Below here is the list of the “Limited Edition” 43s I have from a few years 
ago.  I expect there have been more than a few changes in ownership and 
location since I put this list together.  There are more than 15 hulls listed 
because I have not been able to trace all ownership changes.

 

Calypso hull #1 (ex Arieto, Phantom, Esta Es) Seattle/Port Ludlow WA

Carmanah hull #2 (ex Destination) Bainbridge Island, WA (was on SoPac cruise 
circa 2015)

MmeCaprice, Great Lakes, now blue hull color (hull #3)(David Probable)

 

Evening Star (now in San Fran) Ex Dry Fly from Nova Scotia (originally AVANTI 
built for Sid  Bregman, Toronto architect, who sold her to Christopher Pratt, 
Newfoundland.  She is the subject of one of Chris's best known serigraphs 
"Yacht Wintering".)

 

Epic (Seattle, on So Pac cruise circa 2009?)

 

Pretty Woman, last known in San Fran?

Finesse II, last known in San Francisco?

Hellion, Bloomfield Hills, MI. ?

Kintana Bayview, Detroit (per SA Dec 2011)

Usual Suspects, Bronte, Ontario

 

ex Margo, Boston last known port, Chip Johns last known owner (circa 2010) but 
he sold it.

Sanfire (maybe) 1974, in Florida in 2010 for sale (was in PNW 70’s and 80’s, 2 
Vic Maui's)

Awesome, New Jersey last known location?

Summertime, maybe Chicago?

Long Reach, Bronte Ontario, (hull 15, 1975)

Rampage RCYC

Tiger, mid Atlantic family cruise early 2000’s

 

Opus, Vanc BC last known port (a newer 1980’s custom version, not one of the 
“Limited Edition” 43s)

 

JP, do you know of any updates to this list?

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.

I may be interested and would be happy to pay shipping.  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

I may still have a Blooper from our Redwing 35 out in the barn.  I'm not sure 
that it is appropriate but it could be yours for shipping.  There is also a

Hi Martin:

Glad to hear Calypso is coming alive again. 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.

Calypso’s 5+ year restora

Stus-List Re: Calypso 1971 C 43 update

[Matthew]

Martin:

 

I believe the 42 Custom is a different (albeit similar)
design.  My understanding is that six were made.  One of the owners has been
keeping track of the boats and reached out to me a few years ago.  As I
recall one or two are in bad shape, but the rest are going strong.  The boat
is more or less a sistership to the first Baltic 42.  Rob Mazza on this list
recently informed me that the design was a development of a 1975 Canada Cup
challenger, Marauder (which he sailed on).

 

I raced against my boat as a kid.  It ruled Lake Erie for
about a year, then was promptly out-designed.  Had someone like me not
purchased it, it probably would be getting ready for the landfill.  The
hull’s balsa core was wet or rotted throughout the boat.  We’ve either
replaced all the bad core where access allowed; or drilled a gazillion holes
on the inside skin, dried out the core with heat lamps, and filled with West
System.  Last year we did the area under the fuel and water tanks (main
salon, starboard side), which I believe and hope is the last of it.  I now
plan to turn to other issues, like the worn interior appearance and those
pesky limber holes.

 

The boat does okay uphill and surprisingly well in
relatively light air off the wind.  It does not point as well as I believe
it should.  Probably a problem with the driver.

 

I enjoyed your note about the true value of a blooper
(keeping these darn boats going straight in heavy air downwind).  I haven’t
had the pleasure of trying it with my new blooper.  I have had the pleasure
of experiencing the relative lack of stability in Lake Erie’s quartering
seas.  I commented recently about Garmin’s wind transducer replacement
program.  Guess how I learned about it?

 

We should compare notes sometime.  It sounds like have a lot
of the same issues.

Matt,

 

I have noticed the same limber hole issue in Calypso’s bilge and dark hidden
spaces. I have been able to improve the function in many place but not all.
Fortunately I did not need to remove any prior owner’s work as it appeared
original. When we were installing the reinforcing “I” beams we made an extra
effort to shape the bilge to promote water flow to the bilge well.

 

One of the last significant bulkhead repair project I need to complete was
caused by one of the “built in”, sealed nooks under Calypso’s nav station.
I discovered the sealed space when exploring how far the bulkhead rot
extended.  I suspect the water in there was part of the rot source.  The way
Bruckmann’s crew finished out the companion way slider and spray hood
eventually allowed water to drip down into this space and the rotted
bulkhead area.

 

I rebuilt the failed structure under the slider with G10 epoxy board (no rot
concerns) and carefully shaped the space to allow the inevitable water
collecting there to flow out onto the deck.  Of course when I had that part
of the boat torn apart I reinforced areas of high load under the traveler to
be sure the loads were still shared by the adjoining structures.

 

Is your 42 an original design or a iteration from the 43?  I heard about one
of the later 43s (maybe Night Train?) that was built with the keel shape
modernized.  I also have heard that the 43 Opus in Vancouver BC is a
modernized version of the older 43 design. I expect the newer keel increases
the performance sailing to weather and in lighter conditions. Back in 1974
Calypso (as Arieto) was modified to rate better under IOR and added a new,
deeper rudder. The modification, bobbing the stern, was designed by C  I
have a copy of the drawings used in case I have the time and budget to
restore the stern to its original shape.

Martin:

 

I can attest that the practices were not updated by 1973.
My boat has all kinds of nooks and crannies where water accumulates.  One of
my pet peeves is that often the limber holes were not placed at the bottom
of the area being drained, but instead a half inch or so above (such as just
forward of the mast).  As a result, the half inch or so of water doesn’t
drain.  I prior owner used Bondo to address this.  However, I discovered
that water works its way in under the Bondo.  I plan to remove all the Bondo
and level the various areas with West System.  Another job on my long list.

Neil,

April in Woodinville WA would be great.  I could meet you someplace convenient 
for the handoff.  If your daughter mentions something about the DeYoung name 
being famous in Woodinville, its not me. (My DeYoung clan is from neighboring 
Kirkland and has been known mostly by our 40+ years of owning a electronics 
manufacturing company formally know as DeYoung Mfg., Inc. since sold and in the 
process of moving to Florida.)

Back when Woodinville was a whistle stop for steamers passing by moving people 
and cargo, a family with the last name DeYoung purchase farm land that became 
downtown Woodinville. (Now mostly a nice bedroom community for the area tech 
company employees.)  My clan of DeYoungs socialized with the “rich” and 
politically connected Woodinville DeYoungs from time to time but we are not 
directly related.

I believe the ½ knot up/down rule is accurate much of the time and it includes 
staysails.  I recall a conspiracy theory from the ranks of the Foredeck Union 
(FU) that bloopers and staysails were “make work” programs to keep FU members 
(I am a proud card carrying member) away from the boat owner’s daughter/wife.

My best experience with bloopers was on long distance downwind races.  During 
the 1977 Transpac on a C 39 “Midnight Special” (still had the short, low 
aspect rudder, AKA Broach Coach) we used the blooper to help steer DDW in trade 
wind conditions. As we surged down a wave the AWA would move forward. When the 
boat slowed in the trough the spinnaker would attempt to pivot the boat to 
weather.  The blooper would fill and pull the bow back downwind. Repeat for 
1,000 miles. I did the 79 Transpac on the same C 39 with the improved higher 
aspect rudder, larger diameter steering wheel, and less wind overall but the 
blooper was still useful.

In the 1981 Transpac I was part of a charter on a Frers 49 “Bravura”. It was 
Irv Loube’s older Bravura, his newer one was also in that race (much faster). 
The charter was made up of mostly French and SoCal sailors. As the boat was 
going to be donated upon its return to California we drove it like it was 
stolen.
The blooper we used the most was a cut little smaller so we did not need to 
trim the halyard to keep the foot out of the water. This Frers had a huge 
rudder and was pretty well behaved DDW. When bored on deck we would have a 
contest to determine who could dip first the spin pole tip then the boom end in 
the water the most times in a row. With the big rudder and the blooper the 
helmsman could allow the boat to roll hard to weather, dip the pole then allow 
the leeward roll for the boom dip. This game came to an end when the off watch 
was attempting to eat spaghetti and too much ended up on the cabin sole.

Matt,

I have noticed the same limber hole issue in Calypso’s bilge and dark hidden 
spaces. I have been able to improve the function in many place but not all.  
Fortunately I did not need to remove any prior owner’s work as it appeared 
original. When we were installing the reinforcing “I” beams we made an extra 
effort to shape the bilge to promote water flow to the bilge well.

One of the last significant bulkhead repair project I need to complete was 
caused by one of the “built in”, sealed nooks under Calypso’s nav station.  I 
discovered the sealed space when exploring how far the bulkhead rot extended.  
I suspect the water in there was part of the rot source.  The way Bruckmann’s 
crew finished out the companion way slider and spray hood eventually allowed 
water to drip down into this space and the rotted bulkhead area.

I rebuilt the failed structure under the slider with G10 epoxy board (no rot 
concerns) and carefully shaped the space to allow the inevitable water 
collecting there to flow out onto the deck.  Of course when I had that part of 
the boat torn apart I reinforced areas of high load under the traveler to be 
sure the loads were still shared by the adjoining structures.

Is your 42 an original design or a iteration from the 43?  I heard about one of 
the later 43s (maybe Night Train?) that was built with the keel shape 
modernized.  I also have heard that the 43 Opus in Vancouver BC is a modernized 
version of the older 43 design. I expect the newer keel increases the 
performance sailing to weather and in lighter conditions. Back in 1974 Calypso 
(as Arieto) was modified to rate better under IOR and added a new, deeper 
rudder. The modification, bobbing the stern, was designed by C  I have a 
copy of the drawings used in case I have the time and budget to restore the 
stern to its original shape.

Martin:

I can attest that the practices were not updated by 1973.  My 
boat has all kinds of nooks and crannies where water accumulates.  One of my 
pet peeves is that often the limber holes were not placed at the bottom of the 
area being drained, but instead a half inch or so above (such as just forward 
of the mast).  As a result, the half inch or so of water doesn’t drain.  I 
prior owner used Bondo to address this.  However, I discovered that water works 
its way in under the Bondo.  I plan to remove all the Bondo and level the 
various areas with West System.  Another job on my long list.

Joel,

I expect we experienced similar paths in restoring/repairing C designs built 
by Bruckmann.  The “stick built” interiors give both easy access for water 
migration and for the repair work water migration makes necessary.  I have a 
declared value marine insurance policy to cover liability and some hull losses 
but fully expect a tussle if I were to file a total loss claim.

One of the key failure modes we experienced was caused by water gaining access 
to the channels created when the Bruckmann build team bonded bulkheads to the 
hull.  We found water** that pooled in the bilge forward of the mast migrated 
across the bottom of several bulkheads and, over 40 years, rotted the ¾” thick 
plywood up to 18” from the hull contact.

Did you find any evidence of water migration through the bulkhead channels of 
the embedded 12v wires run through the deck balsa core?  Maybe Bruckmanns build 
practices were updated by 1973.

**Calypso’s excess water forward of the bilge was cause by hull laminate 
fractures likely caused by years of hard competition and excess use of 
hydraulic backstay/babystay adjustors. When we first launched Calypso in 
Seattle (after trucking out from Chicago) water seeped into the bilge space 
forward of the mast step.  We re-hauled the hull (the mast was out for painting 
and new rigging) and started diagnosing the failure by chiseling out the orange 
polyester “bog” filler and grinding off bottom paint. The micro fractures 
became appearant most easily inside.  We re-laminated the hull in that area 
with epoxy, built up the well forward of the mast step, and re-faired the hull.
Using as built drawings from C (from the museum I bought all available for 
43s and some for the first few 60s) during Calypso’s current restoration we 
discovered 43 and 60 hulls after #1 and #2 were retrofitted or built with extra 
reinforcement in this area.  For Calypso we manufactured “I” beams from G10

If I was able to pull this off, the 3 second a mile PHRF rating hit would be

its PHRF rating of 93, especially with its old sails, cruising bottom paint,

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

So we may yet enter a race with a downwind leg long enough for a duffer crew to 
hoist and fly a blooper.

successful racing career out of Boston it was sold to the Great Lakes as first

Martin,

I may still have a Blooper from our Redwing 35 out in the barn. 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.

Glad to hear Calypso is coming alive again. 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

Calypso, a 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 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.

Martin:

My boat came with a blooper. After not using it in most of the races on the
Columbia River, I traded it to a friend for a useless main that I traded in
to North Sails for a discount when buying a new genny. Lately I've been
racing level, so it might be time to get it back  and see how I do with it.
It definitely would be a great sail to have on the Oregon Offshore (now
Pacific Northwest Offshore), when running down the straits to Victoria.

Martin:

 

I can attest that the practices were not updated by 1973.
My boat has all kinds of nooks and crannies where water accumulates.  One of
my pet peeves is that often the limber holes were not placed at the bottom
of the area being drained, but instead a half inch or so above (such as just
forward of the mast).  As a result, the half inch or so of water doesn’t
drain.  I prior owner used Bondo to address this.  However, I discovered
that water works its way in under the Bondo.  I plan to remove all the Bondo
and level the various areas with West System.  Another job on my long list.

Joel,

 

I expect we experienced similar paths in restoring/repairing C designs
built by Bruckmann.  The “stick built” interiors give both easy access for
water migration and for the repair work water migration makes necessary.  I
have a declared value marine insurance policy to cover liability and some
hull losses but fully expect a tussle if I were to file a total loss claim.

 

One of the key failure modes we experienced was caused by water gaining
access to the channels created when the Bruckmann build team bonded
bulkheads to the hull.  We found water** that pooled in the bilge forward of
the mast migrated across the bottom of several bulkheads and, over 40 years,
rotted the ¾” thick plywood up to 18” from the hull contact.

 

Did you find any evidence of water migration through the bulkhead channels
of the embedded 12v wires run through the deck balsa core?  Maybe Bruckmanns
build practices were updated by 1973.

 

Martin DeYoung

Calypso

1971 C 43

Seattle/Port Ludlow

 

**Calypso’s excess water forward of the bilge was cause by hull laminate
fractures likely caused by years of hard competition and excess use of
hydraulic backstay/babystay adjustors. When we first launched Calypso in
Seattle (after trucking out from Chicago) water seeped into the bilge space
forward of the mast step.  We re-hauled the hull (the mast was out for
painting and new rigging) and started diagnosing the failure by chiseling
out the orange polyester “bog” filler and grinding off bottom paint. The
micro fractures became appearant most easily inside.  We re-laminated the
hull in that area with epoxy, built up the well forward of the mast step,
and re-faired the hull.

Using as built drawings from C (from the museum I bought all available for
43s and some for the first few 60s) during Calypso’s current restoration we
discovered 43 and 60 hulls after #1 and #2 were retrofitted or built with
extra reinforcement in this area.  For Calypso we manufactured “I” beams
from G10 epoxy board and wood then glassed them to the hull from next to the
mast step forward past the babystay’s interior anchor point.

Martin,

It’s nice to see your voice back on the list. It’s been awhile.

I had to chuckle a bit at your mention of a 5+ year restoration. I was certain 
the my refit would be done before yours. I’m thinking not  given my rather 
lackadaisical work efforts on our C 37. The COVID-19 shut-down in our lives 
has been a good incentive to focus on the project though. Fortunately I am in 
“put the pieces back together mode” rather than "tear down and rebuild mode".

My wife and I recently purchased another boat in order to keep us out on the 
water. It was her idea because, well, she knows me…

Glad to see Calypso will be going for another 40 years.

Best regards,
Dave Godwin

[Martin DeYoung]

Joel,

I expect we experienced similar paths in restoring/repairing C designs built 
by Bruckmann.  The “stick built” interiors give both easy access for water 
migration and for the repair work water migration makes necessary.  I have a 
declared value marine insurance policy to cover liability and some hull losses 
but fully expect a tussle if I were to file a total loss claim.

One of the key failure modes we experienced was caused by water gaining access 
to the channels created when the Bruckmann build team bonded bulkheads to the 
hull.  We found water** that pooled in the bilge forward of the mast migrated 
across the bottom of several bulkheads and, over 40 years, rotted the ¾” thick 
plywood up to 18” from the hull contact.

Did you find any evidence of water migration through the bulkhead channels of 
the embedded 12v wires run through the deck balsa core?  Maybe Bruckmanns build 
practices were updated by 1973.

Martin DeYoung
Calypso
1971 C 43
Seattle/Port Ludlow

**Calypso’s excess water forward of the bilge was cause by hull laminate 
fractures likely caused by years of hard competition and excess use of 
hydraulic backstay/babystay adjustors. When we first launched Calypso in 
Seattle (after trucking out from Chicago) water seeped into the bilge space 
forward of the mast step.  We re-hauled the hull (the mast was out for painting 
and new rigging) and started diagnosing the failure by chiseling out the orange 
polyester “bog” filler and grinding off bottom paint. The micro fractures 
became appearant most easily inside.  We re-laminated the hull in that area 
with epoxy, built up the well forward of the mast step, and re-faired the hull.
Using as built drawings from C (from the museum I bought all available for 
43s and some for the first few 60s) during Calypso’s current restoration we 
discovered 43 and 60 hulls after #1 and #2 were retrofitted or built with extra 
reinforcement in this area.  For Calypso we manufactured “I” beams from G10 
epoxy board and wood then glassed them to the hull from next to the mast step 
forward past the babystay’s interior anchor point.

Martin, re the enthusiasm of C owners for their boats:
I think that may well be because C are essentially Canadian-built Swans.
They are better all around than most other production boats; they are
certainly better looking than most--Bob Perry raves about how well Rob Ball
drew the decks and how well they look with the hull lines. We all want to
take care of a thing of beauty and don't begrudge the time and effort.

Peter,

I lusted after the 43s since the mid 70’s.  The first time I recall seeing one 
I was “rail meat” on a C 39 (circa 1977) sailing upwind on Puget Sound and 
the black hulled 43 Epic caught and passed us easily.
Fast forward to the summer of 1998 and I am anchored somewhere in the San Juan 
Island on our 1980 C and the same 43 Epic motors by on it way out of the 
anchorage.  This rekindled my interest.  By the end of 1998 we had sold the 36 
and purchased the 43.

The 43s are great sailing boats, very well behaved (with the deeper rudder) and 
sea kindly.  I have done +-60K miles on many different, mostly racing boats in 
all kinds of weather and seas.  I would comfortable sailing a 43 anywhere north 
of 40 South and South of 65 North.

Re “…a labor of love..” It seems the C designs have a stronger following and 
a more passionate ownership group than most other racer/cruiser brands. This 
includes owners that are not active on the list that I run into around the PNW. 
 I have talked with C owners with projects that make my efforts seem 
lightweight.  It is rare I see the same enthusiasm from the owners of other 
brands below the Swan level.

Stus-List Re: Calypso 1971 C 43 update

[Martin DeYoung]

JP,  I attempt to keep track of the 70’s era 43s. Is Alethea the one mentioned 
in the Sailing Anarchy discussions from 2012 and 2014? Also, and pardon my lack 
of geographic knowledge, which Peninsula are you referring to?

Here is a brief note I have from the Sailing Anarchy discussion:

SA 2012 and 2014 C 43 thread titled Allthea
This one is serious old school, CCA type design (I think). Found one web page 
with the following quote, "Cuthbertson also recalls fondly the C Customs 43, 
examples of which twice won Class B at SORC."
This one was launched as Allthea (spelling maybe Althea, hard to read on the 
builders placard).

Below here is the list of the “Limited Edition” 43s I have from a few years 
ago.  I expect there have been more than a few changes in ownership and 
location since I put this list together.  There are more than 15 hulls listed 
because I have not been able to trace all ownership changes.

Calypso hull #1 (ex Arieto, Phantom, Esta Es) Seattle/Port Ludlow WA
Carmanah hull #2 (ex Destination) Bainbridge Island, WA (was on SoPac cruise 
circa 2015)
MmeCaprice, Great Lakes, now blue hull color (hull #3)(David Probable)

Evening Star (now in San Fran) Ex Dry Fly from Nova Scotia (originally AVANTI 
built for Sid  Bregman, Toronto architect, who sold her to Christopher Pratt, 
Newfoundland.  She is the subject of one of Chris's best known serigraphs 
"Yacht Wintering".)

Epic (Seattle, on So Pac cruise circa 2009?)

Pretty Woman, last known in San Fran?
Finesse II, last known in San Francisco?
Hellion, Bloomfield Hills, MI. ?
Kintana Bayview, Detroit (per SA Dec 2011)
Usual Suspects, Bronte, Ontario

ex Margo, Boston last known port, Chip Johns last known owner (circa 2010) but 
he sold it.
Sanfire (maybe) 1974, in Florida in 2010 for sale (was in PNW 70’s and 80’s, 2 
Vic Maui's)
Awesome, New Jersey last known location?
Summertime, maybe Chicago?
Long Reach, Bronte Ontario, (hull 15, 1975)
Rampage RCYC
Tiger, mid Atlantic family cruise early 2000’s

Opus, Vanc BC last known port (a newer 1980’s custom version, not one of the 
“Limited Edition” 43s)

JP, do you know of any updates to this list?

recap:

 

Calypso, a 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.

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

Have nearly finished a 1977 38 Mark 2 and had to do about 75% of the deck.
It’s a labor of love for sure.

I’ve always loved the 43 and growing up sailing in Oakville I got to see
many of them launched for the first time. They are just great sailing
boats.

My 1976 42 Custom is a Bruckman boat, probably similar to
yours on deck and down below (probably not the keel, which they were
straightening out during the 70s).  I'm also involved in many projects and
upgrades.  Keep going.

Calypso's 5+ year restoration continues, and may be picking up pace.  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 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 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
from the early 70's.

Alan, good to hear from you.  I expect we will do some “slow pitch” club races 
each year but nothing serious where there is a chance of spilling the snack 
plate.  Our sails are way out of date and we are so far over budget on the 
restoration that no new sails are planned.

Yes, Michael is still ½ owner of Calypso.  My effort to turn a retired 
anesthesiologist into a boat maintenance worker is almost complete.  His skill 
set and selection of power tools have both expanded.

When you next are cruising past Port Ludlow give me a call.  I can see the Port 
Ludlow marina guest dock from my house and if you anchor in the inner harbor I 
will wave from my patio.

Hi Martin:
Glad to hear Calypso is coming alive again. 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.

 Martin, its great to hear that you are back on track; I do hope you are 
documenting the restoration of Calypso...if possible, it would be nice to see 
photos, or video of the projects and your progress...you could become a You 
Tube star! Any chance?

 Calypso’s 5+ year restoration continues, and 
may be picking up pace.  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 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 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 from 
the early 70’s.   Martin DeYoungCalypso1971 C 43Seattle/Port Ludlow   Sent
