Alan,
I need to amend my previous statement regarding acquiring sails and racing.
I, out of an abundance of nostalgia, feel the need to equip Calypso with a
blooper and fly it during some downwind club race. None of Calypsos
bloopers from the 70s made it to Seattle so I will start keeping my eye out
(maybe some dumpster diving) for a suitable ¾ oz blooper.
I expect it will be exciting to acquaint Calypsos co-owner and crew with
the nuances of setting, trimming, and driving under a spin/blooper combo. I
have many hours/miles driving with bloopers from my Transpacs in the 70s
and early 80s but it has been +-30 years since I last used one. I believe
any witnesses to our first attempts will be thoroughly entertained.
If I was able to pull this off, the 3 second a mile PHRF rating hit would be
worth the fun of flashing the fleet with a blooper. Calypso rarely sails to
its PHRF rating of 93, especially with its old sails, cruising bottom paint,
and casual crew. The last time we corrected out to the podium was in a race
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 railmeat and slid off to leeward.
So we may yet enter a race with a downwind leg long enough for a duffer crew
to hoist and fly a blooper.

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.

Calypsos 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 Bruckmanns 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 theres 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 70s.
