Re: [Cal_Boats] Two big Cals
Chris,
I looked at White Bird II when I was shopping in 1992. It was at
Bill Gorman Yachts at Mariners Village, Alameda CA.
It had an offer on it; I made a backup offer.
I met the buyer last year. He's Paul Owings at the Stockton Sailing
Club. The boat is now (apropos to Paul's last name) called "Wings."
I have his address and can forward it off-line if you are interested
in contacting him.
Best regards,
Duane
