Stus-List C 43 Calypso for sale
We will be listed Calypso for sale in the near future. I have a few more weeks of painting below deck and need a little warmer weather to finish the Kiwi Grip a few areas on deck. One that's done I will post pictures and details on Boat trader or something similar. We have not yet settled on a listing price but the current thinking is in the $68K to $70K range, subject to further market study. The basic details/history: 1971 C 43, hull #1 launched January 1971. Based in the Boston area as "Arieto" until around 1975. (In 1974 the stern and rudder were modified to specifications drawn by C) Sail-Data.com's web site under "C 43-1" shows the original stern and the interior as it still is. Around 1976 she was sold to the Green Bay/Lk Michigan area and renamed "Phantom" . After approx. 10 years the 43 was sold and renamed "Esta Es" and raced out of the Chicago area. In late 1998 we purchased her and trucked her out west to the Seattle area and renamed her "Calypso". We updated much and set her up for PNW and Mexico cruising. When our plans to "commuter cruise" fell through in late 2001 we switched to short handed racing and cruising in the PNW. This included a circumnavigation of Vancouver Island. For the last 10 years we have been making repairs and improvements to Calypso including replacing balsa core issues in the deck and repairing water damaged plywood bulkheads in the area of the baby stay/head. Most of the interior was stripped and repainted. (It's white with teak trim as original) During the summer of 2021 Calypso got new Awlgrip topsides and deck paint plus the bottom stripped to the first epoxy barrier, 2 more coats of new epoxy barrier added then ablative bottom paint. If any listers know of someone "in the market as it were..." (a Capt Jack Sparrow reference) I would offer a finders fee if that referral were to end up as Calypso's next care taker. I have fairly good pictures of the new topsides paint job but few of the re-painted interior at this time. For the official listing I will have new pics inside and out plus a video of her sailing. The timing for putting Calypso up for sale was moved up because my wife called in the promise I made when we bought her (24 years ago). That promise is my wife could pick our next boat. Well she found a 65 year old classic wooden power boat that suits her fancy and made an offer. Since we (and Calypso's co-owner) have no offshore or long distance cruising plans I had very little to use as an argument to delay beginning the sale process.
