Folks - I need to repaint the transom of our 1990 C&C 34+. Looking for
advise on how to find a paint that will be a close match to the original grey
white hull color?
Thank you

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. Martin
