This is in response to Warren Laffredo's messages -
Hi Warren,
There is one Flicka in Japan (Hull #349, so her cockpit hatch is a little different from those of pre-late-1983 model Flickas) has 2YM installed in June 2010.
I don't know if your Flicka has an older type hatch - built in 1983, she is on the border line... I think that PSC has changed the deck mold to the newer type one in late 1983.
***
Btw, the US Yahoo! Flicka Group (it is also this site's forum) is a much better place to post questions on Flickas. Joining the forum/mailgroup is easy.

Hello, I have to repower my 1983 Flicka with a 1GM and there is no new 10GM available. Has anyone used Kubota Beta 14 ? The Yannmar 2Ym15 is the replacement for the 10GM but I don't know if it will fit without touching the hatch. Please respond if you know anyone who has used either engine. Thank you. Warren

Hello I'm trying to find out more info about the Flicka. I came across a Flicka that a boat yard has. The owner said it partially sunk during a storm last winter they pulled it up and it has been in his yard for several months. I inquired about it because I was looking for a sailboat for my youth sailing program and he said he would give it awy for free. What thoughts out there regarding getting new parts or revieving this Flicka. Not sure of the damage but it seems like just cosmetic
Rob
PS does anyone have info on available parts or sails.

So happy to see "Corsair" is still alive and well.
My name is Michael Schimdtman and was the original owner, taking delivery Valentine's Day, 1982. I see the current owner listed as Ginger in Redondo Beach. If anyone knows Ginger, please have her contact me at the following e-mail address:
michael_schmidtman@att.net
I have some interesting information for her about her boat. REALLY excited to hear from her and compare notes!
Thanks Flicka owners for any help!! |

After shopping several 'tricked out' great little Flicxkas, I remembered the work demands of many systems, so opted for minimum package. Recently purchased Lil' Toot for single-handing passages
Scaled down from 25 yr. ownership of Pearson Countess 44. Interested in installing John Hazen's wind vane steering; Summer 1997 Vol. 3 #1, article. Wish to get more info. Hope the Flicka assn. still active. |

I am a past owner of hull #79 and I enjoyed reading the article about her in the 2003 issue of your newsletter, which I found archived on your site. It brought back a lot of fond and also bittersweet memories. I have owned a lot of boats over the years (too many I admit) but none have been so aptly named as "Baby Grand". The inspiration for the name came from the Billy Joel/Ray Charles duet that was getting radio airplay back in 1987 when we purchased the boat down in Texas and hauled her back to Kansas City. With her black hull and size the name seemed a perfect fit.
We sailed her on Lake Perry in Kansas and enjoyed her emensely. A job transfer to Detroit and the financial strain of moving, buying a house, etc. necessitated letting her go so we sold her to my parents who kept her on Smithville Reservoir in MO. My parents sold Baby Grand to the owner profiled in the newsletter article in 1994 so they could refit an old Valiant 32 for cruising.
Flickas are great boats and a personal favorite of mine. I enjoy your site and have bookmarked it for the future. Keep up the good work and thanks for the memories! |

Angus,
The new Flicka Passages page looks great. It's so much fun to look at the pictures filling up the page after page.
Thank you for building it.

We were the original owners of Hull #246, Papillon. We sold her in 1985(+/-) to a gentleman in Connecticut. It's interesting that Bruce Bingham is now here in Florida not too far from where we reside in Punta Gorda.
We'd be happy to hear from her current owner(s). |
