Ron, If you liked how Calypso looked as Esta Es you would still like it now. Our approach to the restoration project was to retain the look and feel of how the boat was built but with updated paint inside and out, small improvements to reduce maintenance, and add structural strength where needed.

It was “Phantom” based near Green Bay for approximately 10 years before becoming “Esta Es”. Prior to that it was “Arieto” based in Boston. Martin DeYoung On Jan 25, 2023, at 6:58 PM, Ronald B.

Launched in January 1971 as “Arieto”, hull #1 of the “Limited Edition” C&C designed, Bruckmann built 43s. My understanding is she was trucked directly to and commissioned/launched in Florida just in time to make the first race of the 1971 SORC. (First in class C, 10th overall.) Based on some of the issues we discovered during Calypso’s recent restoration I suspect they were still bolting hardware to the deck while motoring out to the starting line. Today Calypso doesn’t look a day over 29 thanks to the timeless design by the C&C Design team and the new topsides/deck paint. Martin DeYoung Calypso 1971 C&C 43 Port Ludlow/Seattle
