- 1971 Bluwater 40
Hello, I have owned my Bluwater 40 since 2012 and allways suspected it was a very early version,she has a launch date of March 1971.There is no hull # stamped in the hull as confirmed by two surveys.
I have been on board a few other Bluwaters over the years and looked at every one that was ever on the internet but I have never seen one with my unique floor plan.Full walk around decks,longer aft deck,shorter wheel house,and several other subtle and not so subtle differences. Recently I found some drawings on board that I had not seen before, they were mixed in with some other boat docs.These drawings were my floor plan exactly and one of them had a notation that read No.1 for Mr.and Mrs D. J. Mezzetta.That name rang a bell so I pulled out the title search paperwork from my purchase and found that Dannial J Mozzetta was the first owner of the boat,he owned until 1983 and it has had four owners total.I remembered reading the history of the Bluewater on this site some years ago but I had to re read it the other day to confirm that indeed Daniel Mozzetta was the San Francisco food importer that ordered and owned my boat.Mozzetta named the boat Bluewater and it kept that name until 2002 when the previous owner to me renamed it Shenanigan. If anyone is interested I will try to attach pics.
