Here she is


Redwing is a 1972 factory built 26ft Calkins Bartender. As can be seen she has been a hardworking vessel having spent most of her years as a charter boat out of Warrenton Oregon. My plan is to return her to solid seaworthy condition.

Hey man, you onto the right thing..I am doing the same thing with a 22Bt with almost an identical story as you have. I have spent all summer with every minute I could spare to get her onto the water before the summer finished..but , alas , I failed...BUT... I shall have her ready to go for this next summer.{We are just coming into our winter down here now}My morning constitutional is never complete without reading my daily dose of "BT Banter"... makes my whole existance bearable..I should simply fade away without it!! As soon as I can get it all figured out I will post my progress, this has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I have undertaken, to see her go from poor old forlorn lady , to bright , springy young teenager ready to take on the world...Oh dear, one could go on....However, all the absolute best with your efforts..ENJOY!! ENJOY!! ENJOY!!
