Thanks for the nice words on how Calypso looks. In the interest of full disclosure, the paint job is rated at 10' (i.e. looks good from 10' away). The years and miles have taken a toll on the cosmetics inside and out. Calypso's co-owner and I will be slowly working our way the repair and paint list while still sailing in a few races each year.
Russ, were you on Amazing Grace (custom C&C) for the 'Round Saltspring Isle race? If so was that a tune up for the Van Isle 360 and how did the tune up go? Martin Calypso 1970 C&C 43 Seattle [cid:D1BF9853-22F7-47FB-86F2-4115CE0BAF2F] From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Russ & Melody Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 9:40 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Pic of Calypso from Race to the Straits 2013 Martin... That looks really good. I'm glad you got out on the day it didn't rain on the west coast. (nudge nudge. don't let 'em know it can be like this many days, all year round. The poor lads are still seeing ice on some lakes and even hafta haul the boats INTO the water in the spring.. not outta the water, fer christ's sake) We had a grand weekend on the 'Round Saltspring Island Race. A few of us lucky boats got through Sansum Narrows and finished before midnight... the first ones of the other 80 boats started to show around 09:00 on Sunday. (race cut-off @ 10:00) http://saltspringsailing.ca/roundsaltspring/results/ Cheers, Russ At 05:12 PM 21/05/2013, you wrote: Content-Language: en-US Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="_004_23EAE197CC1B594FA8793397EBCD357D7B4563DMI3DMIlocal_"; type="multipart/alternative" Here is link to a pic of an old C&C going to weather. (I purchased copies from Jan?s for both my wall and computer desk top.) We were racing double-handed. The spin pole is on the mast to keep the heavy #1 sheets from tangling in the baby stay. I estimate we tacked 25 to 30 times over the 30 mile course out to Port Townsend. Fortunately the return race on Sunday was all downwind giving the crew a well-deserved rest from grinding. http://janpix.smugmug.com/Boats/Race-to-the-Straits-2013/29291605_WVLQ3n#!i=2497822185&k=Dn8nxVV&lb=1&s=L Martin Calypso 1970 C&C 43 Seattle [cid:D1BF9853-22F7-47FB-86F2-4115CE0BAF2F] _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com<http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/> CnC-List@cnc-list.com<mailto:CnC-List@cnc-list.com>
