The best info I have on Calypso's original invoice is from the USCG "Abstract of Title".
In April of 1971 a mortgage of $110,000 was recorded. I expect this price included sails, instruments, and other commissioning costs. The boat was named "Arieto" and is hull #1 of the Limited Edition 43' designs. It was raced in the 1971 SORC as a C&C "factory" boat then sold "off soundings" to the owner that campaigned the 43' "Arieto" extensively up and down the US east coast. Somewhere around 1975/76 the boat was listed for sale with a price of $97,000, well equipped for racing but with high mileage. From the USCG abstract it appears that she was "traded in" to Palmer Johnson in December 1976. I have seen references to the original owner campaigning a Frers 46 in the late 70's under the same name, "Arieto". In 1978 the 43 was sold by Palmer Johnson to an owner on Lake Michigan and renamed "Phantom". No price is indicated. In 1986 the 43 was sold to an owner racing out of Chicago and renamed "Esta Es". I guess the price was between $75K and $80K based on some references to mortgages. We bought the 43 in December 1998 for +-$67K, trucked her to Seattle and renamed her "Calypso". Ask me about a current value after we complete the ongoing deck restoration projects. The asking price range for C&C 43's of this vintage run from $49K un-restored to $180K for a very nice fully updated boat. Martin Calypso 1971 C&C 43 Seattle [cid:D1BF9853-22F7-47FB-86F2-4115CE0BAF2F] From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Ron's Hardwood via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2014 7:10 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Original Invoice Prices I would like to hear from some of the owners of the older C&C boats to find out the original invoice prices of their boats. I think that it will be very interesting for us to go back in time and compare the original prices to today's current value to see the actual depreciation over a long period of time. I just received my third survey on Alchemist, a 1986 C&C 29 Mk 2. 14 years ago it was valued at $40,000.00, 6 years ago $24,000.00 and today $18,000.00. The interesting thing is that I put in about $15,000.00 over the last few years in new sails, feathering propeller, instruments, rebuilt engine and transmission, and other incidentals. My cost per sail is actually quite reasonable. If I take into consideration my annual club costs, repairs & maintenance, insurance, replacement of racing sails, fuel, depreciation, etc. divided by the number of sails a year (about 65 times) my costs are about $100.00 per sail. There are many boats on the lake that only leave the dock a few times a year with costs that are similar to mine so their cost per sail is significantly higher. Ron Ander E.Y.C.
