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.

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 Calypso’s bloopers from the 70’s 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 Calypso’s 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 70’s and early 80’s 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.

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.
