This C&C 43, was commissioned in January 1971 as “Arieto”, designed by the legendary design team at C&C and built in the Bruckmann’s custom shop. Now named Calypso, she has been under the care of her owners for 24 years during which she has continually been upgraded and maintained. Calypso has lived up to C&C’s reputation for designing and building great racer/cruiser yachts. She has both raced and cruised throughout the PNW, including a circumnavigation of Vancouver Island. This is a must-see yacht for the serious sailor who appreciates a well-appointed classic sailing vessel. The seller is motivated and just dropped the price.
