Calypso
1955
The steel kit-rigged motorsailer Calypso was ordered by Mr Carlos Guinle, who had previously purchased sailing yacht Lafitte. The 18.40-metre Calypso was transported onboard the S.S. Amstelland to Montevideo, South America, where she arrived on 21 February 1955. The final destination was Rio de Janeiro, and Henk and Cees de Vries were part of the South American delivery crew. Cees kept a diary of the entire journey: after a difficult sailing trip, they moored in the marina of Rio de Janeiro on 30 March 1955. Calypso was cleaned up and handed over to its owner in early April.
