The story goes that DR. Eric Peterson traded his Cal 20 for the aging 8 meter in the mid 60s, It became the scratch boat on Monterey bay for several years. (until Bill Lee Showed up)
I used to relish beating Her around the Wednesday night courses with my Hobie cat. Eventually the boat became too much for Eric to maintain and get crew for so it went back on the market. Eric then traded the boat to O'Neill for a Santana 22. Gene Koblic bought the boat with the intension to restore it and had Doug Brouwer start removing the rotted planking, (at Moores reef) and ran out of money. It sat there for a few years until Allan Simkins put together a group to have C&B Marine restore it and donate to the Olympic committee for the LA Olympics. It got sold to somebody who brought it back to Santa Cruz for a while, I met him once but don't remember his name. I have been told that it was restored once more and is currently on the east coast.
