Help me find an old F40 in Bend, Oregon

[patzefran]

I am looking for one of the first French F 40, Jycoat, Alias Colibri, Caisse d'epargne ... she is a Gilles Ollier design , scaled version of Phillippe Jeantot's Credit Agricole (Quebec St Malo winner). I owned/sailed her from 1990 to 2006 under the name Fantasia and sold her in 2006 to two US owners. They sailed her Across the atlantic to Miami, then to Bend,Oregon, by road. According to last news I got some years ago she was still  in a back yard in Bend. Please contact me if you know his present location and owner, some people are eventually interested to bring back her in France.

Two photos : Jycoat  around 1985, and Fantasia 2005 just before selling ....

Not much help, but I did see this boat for sale on Craigslist perhaps two years ago. The owner at the time sounds as you described, he was asking like 40,000  but did not post any recent pictures.

Doesn't Multihuller know where all these barn finds are?  See if he knows. Bend is close-ish to his old locale.

Come on Stephen, look out in your back paddock, it's probably there somewhere hiding behind Hydroptere knowing you..

I will look in the back!

looks like Fantasia has been sold and hauled on a barge from Seatle to Ketchikan, Alaska. I am trying to locate his last owner !

I too wanted this boat off of Craigslist.  It looked like real find.
