Cal 40 donation ( or buy very cheap)

Are any of you familiar with Pacific Marine Foundation, Inc. 1900 West Nickerson #2000 Seattle, WA 98119-1661? How about Associated Marine Institutes? One thing I learned is that the beneficiary of my boat donation should not sell it for at least 2 years, for me to deduct the appraised value of the boat. Some of these charitable organizations supposedly can stipulate that they will hold on to the boat for at least 2 years. I thought I had a qualifed buyer in December, that's why I held off on donating it. So, I missed out on 2006 tax year, but I'll have a decent tax deduction for 2007. I'll start the appraisal process in the next few days, but in the meantime, any of you interested in a well below market (low twenty thousand range) Cal 40? It floats, it motors, it sails. See http://www.freewebs.com/cal40 for details. I don't think anyone will go wrong with that price, but I suggest you inspect it for your peace of mind. It's in FL, the land of the cheap Morgans. I checked on transport to San Diego. Best quote was around %8,500, by one of the professional trucking companies. I can donate it to a charity, or I can "donate" it (sell very cheap) to a serious, qualified buyer. Regards, Leonardo

Did you ever tell us the hull number ? Not that many 40s had bowsprits and most of those that did had the stern bobbed as a 37. Yours did not and so is a bit unusual.

Thunderbird, winner of the 1966 Bermuda as a Cal 40, was later modified to a 37 with the bowsprit (although I didn't ask Roger about that) and the boomkin on the bobbed stern. Windquest is another 40 modified to a 37 at Derecktor's yard. They all had bowsprits and boomkins. The modification, done after delivery, actually took only about 18 inches off the hull length but the 40 is actaully 39 feet 4 to 6 inches as built. I've seen a couple of 40s with bowsprits; one was Firebird in the Pacific Northwest. I don't know where it is now but Timm Lessley might know. The west coast 37s were factory built that way and the mold was plugged to give a plumb transom. There was no boomkin but the ones I've seen have bowsprits. Some of the boats had props in keel apertures. THunderbird and Windquest had that design. I don't know if Spyke has it. If you know the owner, you might ask him. Intrepid II , a west coast 37 had that design. It was done for rating reasons. Windquest also had a trim tab on the keel but that was outlawed not long after introduced as a rule beater.

When I was staring at the boomkin the other day, what struck me was that they reversed the transom and then had to add on the same length via the boomkin. I think I'd rather keep the old transom and have some extra room in the cockpit--and perhaps a stronger vessel, one without the vulnerable stainless structure sticking out behind. Chris Campbell

The whole issue was sail area. The bowsprit lengthens the J by 18 inches. The bobbed stern was probably to get weight out of the stern as the light air performance was probably helped by reducing weight there. The west coast 37s had smaller mains and the boomkin was probably to keep the big main and reduce lee helm from the increase in sail area forward of the center of lateral resistence. The long stern was actually added by Jensen to make it a 40 footer for marketing purposes. Lapworth designed it as a 39 and he was the one who suggested cutting the stern. Roger may know more about this. I don't think the 37 has an advantage in Transpac as the long stern run helps surfing. There was also a rating benefit and Roger Fortin said the original job at Derektor was botched as they didn't shorten it as much as planned but the rating came out better. The other east coast 40s probably copied Thunderbird in the modification to 37s. Mike Kennedy Conquest Cal 40 # 96 > > Chris Campbell >

Mike, This is hull #44, ex-Gulf Ghost from New Orleans. It already had the extended bowsprit when I got it in 1993. Replaced the bowsprit in 2000 after the old one was bent out of shape in a collision with a ship. If I launched it tomorrow, after provisioning, bending sails, and re- attaching the masthead tricolor (came loose), I'd be able to motor out of the marina, set the Monitor windvane, head offshore, go to sleep :) Ok, really, I should change all 3 fuel filters and change the engine oil and filter beforehand. However, there is some work that needs to be done. Lifeline stanchions need to re-bedded, deck is original and has gelcoat surface crazing, fuel tank has corrosion on top (previous owner had epoxied the top surface), CDI roller fouling is a bit old and not as easy to turn as a new Harken or Profurl. Hull had new awlgrip in 2000. Engine, transmission, v-drive in good shape. Bottom has not had bottom paint applied in years. My usage involved launching it, cruising around for 4 weeks, then going back to the real world. The marina would keep it in the slip for a few months, then haul it out and power wash it. Hence, no need for bottom paint. It's cruise equipped and I've lived in it for months. Don't know why I can't convince my wife, Commodore Naomi, from living aboard and experiencing the wonderful cruising lifestyle. BTW, the transport quote that I got from Marathon Key, FL to West Coast (I believe it was for San Diego) was for $8489 from Joule Yacht Transport, as of November or December of last year. One would think that their fuel surcharges are a bit lower now.

I should have looked first as I have it in both the current owners' list and an old when from when it was still Gulf Ghost. There were some bowsprits on 40s so that is obviously original. Too bad we didn't make contact about 2 1/2 years ago when I was looking. I can't think of a bigger job than the one I tackled except maybe Stan Honey's boat, which was propped in a field when he found it. I certainly would not wish to be the source of marital friction but my son Mike Jr, who also monitors the list, was once given an ultimatum by his girl friend of the time. "Me or sailing." The other females in the family didn't care that much for her anyway so they never missed her. I'd better shut up now or I'll hear from him. Mike Kennedy Sr Conquest Cal 40 # 96

You guys just need to find humans of the female persuasion who are equally passionate about sailing - they do exist ; - ) Sabine S/V "Night and Day", Cal 25 --- Chris Campbell <cl… [at] charterinternet.com> wrote: > mtkennedy1 wrote: > > > > -my son Mike Jr, who also > > monitors the list, was once given an ultimatum by > his girl friend of > > the time.

Yes, they do exist! I am fortunate to be married to one for 25 years May 15. Recently a friend who is trying to sell his boat related how one guy had said his wife told him, "...it,s me or the boat." Admiral Bobbie said, "He made the wrong decision." I think given the choice, Bobbie would choose the boat.

I certainly didn't mean to suggest that there aren't any women who like sailing. But when the choice is between one who doesn't, or going sailing, the choice is easy.

Yep, they do. So do humans of femail persuasion that are passionate about flying. Unfortunately for me, I also only like humans of the female persuation that are independent and strong minded. So Jody, an exellent flying parter got a fantastic job hundreds of miles away. Ivana who sailed with me 2-3 days a week, was offered an execellent opertunity hundreds of miles away.
