My father bought a CAL25 about 10 years ago which had been hit by the Becky Thatcher in Deep River, CT. on the Connecticut River. It was near sunk and my dad obtained it. He's been restoring it; probably better than originally manufactured. My dad is a real handy guy and good at what he does. We're members of the North Cove Yacht Club in Old Saybrook, Conn. We'll be in the race Saturday, woohoo!
