After owning hull 027 since 2009 I thought it was time to try to fill in the blanks on her history. She is currently named Pacific Pearl and now lives on Vancouver Island BC. I purchased her in Tacoma WA as Always Tricky and met her owners at that time…3 retired Boeing engineers. Great guys BTW. Previous to that she was in the SF Bay Area and was named Daddy-O. And previous to that she was I believe in So Cal and was named Stress Breaker and Hooligan…not sure of the order. Anyway, I’d love to hear her history if anyone out there is familiar with the boat…races, era, pics, etc.
I did a complete strip-down interior and exterior on the hard over 7 months after purchasing her and have updated with jock strips, BOD, carbon pole, sails, hardware, epoxy bottom, electronics and on and on (I consciously got rid of receipts so I wouldn’t be reminded of how much I have into her). Anyway money well spent as she is one of the nicer O30’s I know of and I plan on sailing her for many years to come. I’d be thrilled to hear anything about her…especially her pre-Tacoma years.
