Early Woodwynd Owner writes to L-36.com



We owned Woodwynd in the early 80's (81-85)and that is the original name. We were the third owners. Woodwynd was built by Chapman & Kalayjian in Costa Mesa in 1963.

There were Transpac plaques on the interior bulkhead when we sold her. We also left a log on board that documented one of the Transpac races.

We raced in the WHOA (Wooden Hull Owner's Association) and always came in 2nd! A photo of Woodwynd was on the cover of the Dinghy...a Marina Del Rey sailing paper in one of the WHOA races in 1985.

We restored the cabin exterior and the deck (painted w/walnut shells)and LPed the hull. We hauled out faithfully every year.

We had a new Universal Atomic 4 gas engine and a folding prop (kind of a pain. We kept her in Marina Del Rey near the Pacific Mariners yacht club.

Unfortunately when we sold her, she fell in to disrepair and I saw Woodwynd in Santa Barbara about 10 years later and she looked like hell...very depressing.
