Re: [Cal_Boats] (was Cal 40 Dancing Bear in Cruising World) Cal 34 Refit

Hi Bill: I live in North East, although my Cal 29 lives at Swan Creek (Rock Hall). Let me know if you need a hand with anything. You can get me at 410 287-8020. Would love to help. I'm in boat withdrawal with 8-12 inches of snow predicted for tonite. Les Hester Bay Breeze 3-29#1005 Swan Creek, (snowy) Md. From: bi… [at] comcast.net Michael, my friend & I just finished a 1 1/2 year refit of a 1976 CAL 3-34 - "Moon Shadow" I would be glad to send you some photo's if you are interested. We have about 50K in the boat. It just moved to the marina in Havre de Grace, Maryland for final rigging & engine alignment. We should be in the water by 2nd week of March. Can't wait for the sea trails! Bill De Freitas Elkton, MD From: "Michael Robinson" <mi… [at] hotmail.com> Michael, I would like to see the pictures you took. I am refurishing my Cal 36. Always looking for ideas.

I didn't go below but did take pictures of some of his additions looking for ideas for my own project. He is from Alaska and that may be a reason why no teak. I took a lot of pictures of Cal 40s at Hawaii Yacht Club. There were 13 Cal 40s rafted there. That's the first time since 1969 anyone could see such a sight. I suspect that 2007 will see even more.

Wow. they took a junk Cal 40 and turned it into state of the art. Total cost was something like 150K. Came out pretty nice. Custom stainless fixtures and a sit down nav station were among the features. Then they did the Transpac. Or another CA - Hawaii race. They started out of Long Beach. Which one is that? Seems like there's one that starts in Frisco, too. It's all so far away from Tampa Bay.... ~smile~ SMon Relax. Yahoo! Mail virus scanning helps detect nasty viruses!
