Martin:
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.

Subject: Stus-List Calypso 1971 C&C 43 update
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&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&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&Cs
from the early 70's.
