 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.
