"Oceanus" - 1980
Cheoy Lee 41 OWNER - Mark Altstetter AREA OF SAILING - Scappoose, NW Oregon, Multnomah Channel E-Mail Mark - Involved in Extensive Retrofit. 2012 4/2013 update - Thanks for your continued upkeep to the site – it’s nice to see the association is strong. A few things….firstly – Oceanus - is a 1979 CL 41 and is not the Richards design as I first thought. As well, Oceanus is back in the water after an extensive bottom job, many new systems installed ( mech/water/propane/ and waste) as well a new Le Feill mast being installed with furling. Finally, it may be noted that Oceanus used to be named ‘Twist of Fate’, and alas the owner is no longer traceable ( my searches have gone unrealized) Website - Click Here |

"White Bird" -
1978 Offshore 41 OWNERS - Pavel Kocourek AREA OF SAILING - Pavel Kocourek E-Mail Pavel I bought the boat in Brooklyn, NY during my PhD studies at NYU as a place to live, and I crossed the Atlantic on it upon graduating with fully amateur crew (only two of us have sailed before) and no self-steering. I removed the rollerfurler and replaced it with twin forestay (side by side) before the trip. I removed the leaking teak deck anywhere except for the cockpit and filled the screw holes with thickened epoxy. The knee holding starboard back shroud came off the hull on the trip and we made a temporary fix using dyneema lines until I fiberglassed the knee back (increasing its size as originally it was too short). One lifeline stantion came off during the Atlantic crossing and I found out that the bolts holding it had no nuts (perhaps the builders forgot them). I was planning to bring the boat from Bremen to Canaries with another amateur crew, but we grounded near Bremenhaven and the waves kept smashing the keel of the boat over the ground for hours until we got towed away. The rudder is hard to move after the accident, but we have not noticed any other serious damage to the boat. Nov. 2020 yachtmore.blogspot.com Very interesting story, james |
