Description
Price Reduced, Offers Considered

Haiku's equipment list and latest use is certainly slanted toward the race coursed but these boats are very capable offshore cruisers as well. The Mahogany interior wood is a touch from the past and appreciated. She features a Large comfortable V-Berth, Dinette and Twin Quarter berths as accommodations. Haiku is currently out of the water and ready for your inspection.

Haiku History
Haiku History
Haiku is a CAL 2/30 and was built in 1970 by Jensen Marine. She was modified at the factory to meet MORC race parameters. She is a mast head rig, most Cal 2/30s are fractional rigs. The mast is set back for a larger headsail. The transom is chopped off about two inches to get the boat under 30 feet, a MORC requirement. The first owner was John of Oxford, on the eastern shore of Maryland. Her original name was Windsong.
In 1972 Willard and Paul bought Haiku. They raced her until about 1989, when they won the PHRF C Region 1 High Point Championship. She then sat on land for four years. I raced with Paul on the J/30 Shaken Not Stirred. He owned and raced the J/29, Torture. He now owns the S2 9.1, Torch.
In 1994 Gordon and John bought Haiku. They kept her in Middle River, north of Baltimore. Gordon and his dad basically rebuilt the boat with new standing rigging in 2003. The engine was rebuilt about 1999. The boom was replaced and the mast step rebuilt. John completely rewired the boat. They won the PHRF C Region 1 High Point Championship in 2001.
In 2000 Gordon and Becky bought the J/30 Shaken Not Stirred and raced her in Annapolis. John and Gordon continued to race Haiku in Middle River. Under Gordon and John, Haiku won many races in the PHRF class C.
In 2005 we bought Haiku and kept her in Mill Creek, near Annapolis. That first summer, we only got her out sailing about five times. The bottom finish was a race bottom called Balto Plate, very smooth, it needed to be cleaned by a diver every week. We didn’t do that and ended up having her pulled out for four weeks and the bottom painted with a cruising bottom that required very little maintenance. We had her put up for the winter at Whitehall Marina and got a slip there for the 2006 season.
