Owners comments.
We have owned Calypso since September 2012 and had some great trips and family holidays to northern France and up the East coast and even sailing in the Norfolk Broads! She is very comfortable to live aboard with a huge amount of space both below decks and in the cockpit. We have really appreciated the improved tacking with the working jib and the stable and easy motion downwind. The other big advantage, particularly on the East coast is the shallow draft which allows you to take the ebb tide up to the east coast rivers, enter at low tide and carry the flood up the rivers. Of course, she takes to the ground very well so drying out at places such as Manningtree and Wivenhoe as well as smaller creeks opens up areas not available to deeper draft yachts.
