Building Calypso: July 2010
http://buildingcalypso.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Our journey to build a greener version of the iconic Contessa 32. Thursday, 29 July 2010. Contessa goes Harken mad! When I was researching winches, there was a clue that Harken might have a good environmental ethos. The company globally are sponsors of Plastiki. A great project which involves sailing a boat made out of 12,000 recycled plastic bottles across the Pacific ocean to highlight the problem of plastic in the world's oceans. The same drive as the powerful film "Message in the Waves". Which also d...

Building Calypso: The end of the beginning!
http://buildingcalypso.blogspot.com/2010/09/end-of-beginning.html
Our journey to build a greener version of the iconic Contessa 32. Wednesday, 22 September 2010. The end of the beginning! Lots of people had read about Calypso in the Summer and October issues of Practical Boat Owner . As always, Jeremy was in hot demand from Contessa owners past and present and he and Fiona's encyclopaedic memory of boat names and owners came in handy on lots of occassions. "Ah yes, I remember, Triador, 1974 - he was a hairdresser"! On Sunday, we took an order for another new boat.

Our journey to build a greener version of the iconic Contessa 32. Friday, 26 February 2010. Inigo's face lights up, and that's it, the boat has gone, his brain is entirely full of chocolate. "How many days is it til Easter Mummy"? Suddenly I find myself calculating how many days til Easter, one of the twins falls over, and the moment is lost! Maybe next week I'll think of a better example, not involving chocolate. Posted by Jessie Rogers. Monday, 22 February 2010. Posted by Jessie Rogers. Can be disposed...

Building Calypso: August 2010
http://buildingcalypso.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Our journey to build a greener version of the iconic Contessa 32. Thursday, 19 August 2010. Time I wrestled back the blog from Kit! Actually, I think he's a natural blogger, I might let him have another go! Well, I'm back from sauntering around in the Alps (you try sauntering with four small boys in tow)! Lots of progress made on Calypso; all the Harken. Winches and deck gear fitted, the Selden. Mast has arrived, Darglow. Propeller fitted. Boxes of Garmin. Electronics and Imtra LED. Well, Jeremy and I tr...

Building Calypso: March 2010
http://buildingcalypso.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Our journey to build a greener version of the iconic Contessa 32. Tuesday, 23 March 2010. To hybrid or not to hybrid? Not long ago we all sat down around Jeremy and Fiona's kitchen table and did a good job of convincing ourselves that we didn't want a hybrid engine. There would be constant drag with the prop spinning we thought, and anyway, the brief was to keep things simple. Then Graeme Hawksley from Hybrid Marine. Posted by Jessie Rogers. Sunday, 21 March 2010. Would she emerge unscathed? Who had got ...

Building Calypso: Star of the show!
http://buildingcalypso.blogspot.com/2010/09/star-of-show.html
Our journey to build a greener version of the iconic Contessa 32. Monday, 13 September 2010. Star of the show! The Southampton Boat Show. Is in full swing and Calypso is arguably the star of the show! Well, maybe I'm a little biased but we certainly have had more than our fair share of visitors. People are really interested in all the green features - I reckon we've definitely saved a fair few rainforest trees by converting people to Kebony,. And the electric drive on the Hybrid engine. Working wonders t...

Building Calypso: January 2010
http://buildingcalypso.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Our journey to build a greener version of the iconic Contessa 32. Friday, 29 January 2010. In the beginning there was a deck. When recently we were pondering how to get our family of four boys and a mildly neurotic collie dog out on the water for some sailing adventures my father-in-law, boat builder Jeremy Rogers.
