New owner of "poppy" DE 38 located in San Carlos Mx, looking for history. Welcome to the Downeaster Yachts Forum Forums

Hello,

I'm the new owner of "Poppy" a 1975 DE38 located in San Carlos Mexico.  It's new name is "Stoic".

Trying to piece together it's history, I could be the 5th or 6th owner at this point.  Seems to have started life on the southern California coast and spent most of it's time in San Carlos, maybe down the coast to Costa Rica?

Looks like it might have been blown over, beached, or fell off it's stands on it's port side and took on some water.  Most of the teak exterior trim has been removed, otherwise looks original and neglected.

Any interesting stories would be helpful to get the full picture of it's life.  I'm planning on getting it back on the water soon after many years on the hard to enjoy with my boys William and Stewart.

Questions and updates will surely follow.

Thanks in advance!  Wes Simpson
