Robbieandrew Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I may have made a bit of a fool of myself on Ebay. I came across a boat advertised as a calypso 14, however it looks like no calypso I have ever seen, more like a hawk or something like that. The gull shape, rudder shape, trampoline and everything is totally wrong and I thought maybe she was trying to pass it off as a better boat than it is. So I emailed the seller to advise her that it was not a calypso, as in my opinion it looks nothing like one. She emailed me back saying it has calypso badges on the frame and uploaded some photos. To my surprise, she was right, it certainly does say calypso on it! However, I am still no where near convinced that it is a Calypso. Perhaps Calypso was the model name of another brand? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/14FT-CALI...fe9cca3&_uhb=1 Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hills Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 It certainly doesn't look anything like my Calypso 14! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt15 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I have no idea but agree it certainly looks like a Hawk or simular. Perhaps Calypso frame corners were used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbieandrew Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Hmm, but calypso frames don't even have corners like that on any models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSnapid Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 My guess is that it isnt Calypso the brand. It's another brand, who must have made a model of cat called a calypso cat? Perhaps before calyso cats became well known? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
