Sister Ships - C&C 61

Besides Joli, built in 1974, there were 8 additional C&C 61's built in the mid-1970's.  One of them was destroyed in a hurricane a long time ago.  Brassy, with a home port of Traverse City, MI, was originally named Sassy and she raced in many Mackinac races.  Grampus in Italy, Koh-I-Noor (formerly Helisaras) in Washington State, Sorcery (whereabouts currently unknown) and one called Rainbow somewhere in Europe are the ones we know of.
  

 Below is Grampus, which was (is still?) owned by the Pirelli Family in Italy.

                            

 Koh-I-Noor, below, was on the Great Lakes in the 1990's to early 2000's, when she was moved to the West Coast.  She was originally built for Herbert VonKarajan as Helisara.  See story -  C&C 61 Helisara, now Koh-I-Noor

Sorcery was in Newfoundland but we lost track of her current location.  Check out this story of when Sorcery was pitchpoled by a rogue wave.  Rogue Wave
