The earliest record I have for Calypso is $110,000 as a first mortgage on April 28th 1971. In 1974, as "Arieto" the boat was listed for $97,000. I do not have any record of the purchase prices for its sales in the Great Lakes region. (Twice sold, once to be renamed "Phantom" and again to be "Esta Es".)
I suspect the 1971 mortgage amount included new sails and electronics as the boat went on to win its class in the 1971 SORC. The documentation states the boat was built in 1970 and commissioned in 1971. It is hull #1 of the "Limited Edition" 43's. We purchased the boat in late 1998 for $65,000 needing upgrades to most systems and rigging. The cost of upgrades so far is a closely guarded secret to maintain domestic harmony in both owner's household.

I know what a modern 30ish footer costs new, but what did our C&Cs cost back in the 70's and 80's? Some of the brochures have that info but most don't. How were C&Cs positioned price-wise compared to the competition? Just curious. Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto
