A Brief History of Hull #43 It
is impossible to write a brief history of a Cal 40. The boat was purchased by me in the summer of 2010. I knew
there was a Cal 40 for sale in Annapolis and I decided to look at it on my way back from looking at a much larger vessel that
I was looking at in Maine for a charter operation I had in mind. It was an estate sale with no surviving relatives so
the boat was like a time capsule. It had the log book from the family that owned it for 40 years. The original
owners manual, the original Merriman Wooden Blocks were in a drawer, Tag Heuer Stop Watch, an enviable race record, custom
book cases, hatch and companionway screens. The owner was an Annapolis Grad and not only was the log book kept in minute
detail, it read like a novel. The boat was well cared for and loved for 30 years until 1999 when tragedy
struck the family and it languished for 10 years with the last surviving family member living on the boat, but unable to maintain
it. I bought it. I stripped out every wire and hose, took everything that moved out of her, soda blasted, pressure
washed, and then sanded the entire interior, and painted everything. The hull deck joint, the bilge, the overhead, the
storage bins, and all the impossible to reach places with Awlgrip 545 and then Awlgrip Oyster White. I redesigned the
companionway stairs like everyone does, but made it look like it was original, re-powered her, rewired the entire boat,
removed every piece of deck hardware, awlgripped and varnished everything and re-bedded the hardware. It is a great
boat. Someone asked Stan Honey why he still campaigned "ILLUSION", after he navigated Grouparama in the Volvo
Race and his reply was. "The Cal 40 has no bad habits". I have since purchased the 65 foot cutter for the
charter operation I put off while working on the Cal 40, am in the unenviable position of owning two boats and I have to sell
her. I got to sail her in Charleston Race Week, and she was an instant success as a day sail charter boat in Wrightsville
Beach, and now someone else is going to enjoy the heck out of her.
