Boat-
"Kuanyin" - 1963 Pacific
ClipperOWNERS - Djann Hoffman & Lisa Faithorn AREA OF SAILING - Marshall, CA E-Mail Djann We bought the Kuanyin in 1982 in Berkeley ,CA, sailed out of Berkeley for many years, moved her to Sausalito for a while, then when the deck began delaminating seriously, we hauled her over  the hill to
the little boatyard in Marshall, CA . Ive been restoring her for
three years and she is nearly ready to go back in the water.
She is all teak, yard #811, a custom ordered lapstrake version,
copper riveted with cast iron keel, fiberglass over plywood decks
and the original Stuart Turner one cylinder gas power plant. I'm
rerigging to fly a cruising spinnaker from the masthead. I have
the original spinnaker pole. I'm currently looking for some nicer
sails and understand that the PC's and FF"S have the same
size sails as Folkboats. I understand , also, that there is
another 1963 PC coming to Marshall soon. Lots more, but you
said short. |

| Boat-
"Little B" - 1963
Frisco Flyer/Pacific Clipper OWNERS - Robert Koontz AREA OF SAILING - San Francisco E-Mail Robert This boat was previously mis-categorized on this site as a Frisco Flyer. It is in fact a Pacific Clipper. I have recently purchased it and am about to undertake a restoration. It is an all wood boat with the mast stepped through the cabin. The canvas on the decks needs replacing and since the original inboard has been removed I am searching for a replacement for that as well. Also removed were the original dragon woodcarvings (someone must have thought they'd look better on the living room wall). If you have any information or suggestions or just want to compare notes please feel free to email. |

"Eagle" - 1967 Frisco Flyer
#1707OWNERS - Greg Flatt AREA OF SAILING - Seabrook, Texas E-Mail Greg We originally owned this Flyer from 1976 through 1979. At the age of 16, I sailed Eagle from New Orleans to Seabrook Texas in the summer of 1976 when our family was transferred. I went off to college in 1980 and Eagle was sold. We looked at repurchasing her in 1984 but we had another boat by then. I became interested in finding Eagle in 2003. Through the Cheoy Lee web site I was able to locate her present owner and was able to buy her back after a 25 year absence. I am now 45 and will give her a refit and continue on my sailing adventures. Thank you James for a wonderful web site. |

1964 Frisco Flyer OWNERS - Terry Wilson AREA OF SAILING - Tennessee River E-Mail Terry "Cheoyous", hull # 1238, was previously known as "SWORDFISH" on the west coast of Florida, under owners William Murray and later Scott Barker. Before coming to Florida, she was known as BRENDA JANE out of Los Angeles. The "oral history" is that she was restored on the West Coast and two guys sailed her through the Panama Canal and up to her new owner in Florida.
