I still have an Ulmer chute on board from the serious racing days (mid- to late-70s). We call it big blue. The chute originally had a large daisy in the middle (I’ve seen an old photo), but the next owner had it cut out. Although close, the daisy replacement cloth is not exactly the same color as the rest of sail. It’s ugly as hell, but fast.

Golden Peace raced against Christopher Dragon many a time. My powerboat is named Rogue and I always think of the Ericson 39 Rogue who was on the line as well. Good times and great fleets and sailing with Butch was a hoot.

Very much involved. The 42 was a development of the 1975 Canada's Cup challenger Marauder which lost to Golden Dazy. I was Project Manager for Marauder and also crewed aboard her for the Two Ton Worlds and the Canada's Cup racing in Detroit. The flush decked Christopher Dragon was a Custom Shop production version of Marauder. I was also project manager on that boat as well, I think. I sailed Bermuda Races and Long Island Sound races aboard her with Butch Ulmer. I also sailed aboard Keith Burley's C&C 42 Genevieve out of RHYC. I remember going into a spreaders in the water broach on that boat in the middle of a spinnaker peel on Burlington Bay! Genevieve is now at the Prince Edward Yacht Club in Picton, ON. So, yes, some involvements with 42s. ;-) I have the Barient 23 self-tailers on our dining room table, but probably won't disassemble them until Trillium gets uncovered. Take care, and I look forward to seeing you sometime this summer in Port Dover.

The Speers Road building housed a valve plant before it was acquired and greatly enlarged by the C&C Custom division. I started work in that plant building Redline 25s under Mike Houndslow. That must have been in 1969 because Manitou, True North, Bagatelle, and Red Jacket were in the shop at the time.
