Hi Martin, Yes I remember Dean Shipman. They had a Ranger 33. I don't know how many Chi/Mac races Phantom participated in and the Chicago Mackinac website doesn't go far enough back at least from what I found. I am glad you connected with Jimmy through Dean and happy to know the boat is going strong.

It must have been great having 3 classic C&C designs around during the early years of your sailing experience. I know my 5 years (including 2 Seattle/LA/Honolulu/Seattle summers) on a C&C 39 early in my big boat racing experience flavored my preference in racer/cruiser designs. (For downwind offshore racing I still have a soft spot for the SC 50 and its ability to surf.) Do you remember Dean Shipman who sailed on "Phantom" with Jimmy Walsh? Dean may have been working for the marina where "Phantom" was moored. I met Dean here in the Seattle area when I was working in the electronics manufacturing business. At Jimmy's request he came down to Shilshole Bay marina to reconnect with the boat and report back and how its doing nearly 40 years later. Do you recall how many Chi/Mac races "Phantom" participated in? Dean mentioned a few but did not have any specific details.

It was the pride of our harbor, my hometown and yes owned by the Walsh family. She and Catalyst C&C 38, Moon Shell C&C39 were the reasons I bought a C&C when I grew up and finally could afford one.
