Mail Bag! Zaca Models and a bit of History
14
Jun
Robert de Cantelar writes to us:
To whom it may concern…..
The first time I saw her was during summer 1964, in Villefranche, so alone…..already careless !
I’m and I was the first expert and master who has studied and carry out the file for the first restoration of ZACA for a well known French financier, aborted the day of signing the final contract because of an indiscretion of Camper & Nicholson in Cannes.
It was in 1988.
The manager of Villefranche Shipyard was Mr. Lagarrigue and we had a great team together, in vain ….
Part of the funding for the study was provided by a series of 92 half-hull of ZACA carved in the wood of the main boom of the boat we had cut up in the presence of a bailiff.
I carved them. The Nr 0 is home. (Pict)
I also made a model, flush deck, complete with masts to show to our customers the beauty of the restored boat lines. (Some pict)
Masts, booms, pole are made with original ZACA main boom wood, the stand too. Oregon pine.
I still have some plank of this wood that I use with the respect due to a relic ….
I carved too, a half-hull 103 Cm long in Teak, Azobe, Wengé, Bronze and Cuba Mahogany. (Pict)
Because of lack of space I sell my two collections of models and half-hull, so, it is normal that I propose to you in priority those of ZACA.
All these pieces have a story linked to this exceptional boat, even their material, many pictures as she was when near to sink, almost abandoned.
Some more things at home.
Are following some pictures and my address.

R de Cantelar.

The flowers of Florentine Gardens
25
May
Dear fellow Flynn fans,
I came across a Florentine Gardens nightclub programm with the signatures of Errol and Sophie Tucker on it. The Yiddishe Momme was one of the main attractions of the cool hot spot famous for its nude dancing dinner shows. Marilyn Monroe sat front row, Yvonne DeCarlo took center stage and our swashbuckler buckled up in his seat.
The location became also infamous for his patron s involvement in the Black Dahlia murder case. Mark Hansen was a main suspect in the slaying of Elizabeth Short, when his little black book with phone numbers of honorable Hollywood clientele was found under her belongings. One page was missing. Hansen got cleared, but was later on shot in a separate incident by a furious female. “Few flowers flourish in the shades…”
Enjoy,
