CAL 20-Foot Sailboats & Yachts
The CAL 20-Foot Sailboats & Yachts section features Jensen Marine/CAL marketing materials for compact racer-cruisers and performance-cruising sailboats from the late 1960s through the 1970s. Centered on models such as the CAL 21, CAL 25, CAL 2-27, CAL 29, CAL T/2, and CAL T/4, these advertisements highlight Bill Lapworth's design influence, CAL's reputation for fast sailing performance, and the company's effort to combine racing ability with practical cruising accommodations. Together, the collection documents CAL's appeal to sailors seeking boats that are small enough to afford and handle, yet capable of racing, weekend cruising, and serious coastal sailing.
Take the New CAL 21 Yacht out for a Quick Launch (1969)
CAL boats the most successful racing-cruising boats in the world. Like the bigger ocean racers, the CAL 21 is self-righting and self-bailing. The "rich" mahogany trimmed interior sleeps four, with room for two more in the big cockpit, and there's space for a marine head and galley range.

CAL 25: a Winner Every Way You Look at Her (1967)
The CAL 25 is fast -- CAL fast -- so she wins more than her share of races. But even when she's not racing, she's still a winner. Take the hatch cover that raises up to give you full headroom in the main cabin. Or the outboard transom with removable middle section that lets you mount the motor easily and tilt it out of the water while sailing.

CAL Presents the Second Generation Compact Cruiser in the Cal 25 (1977)
Our new CAL 25 is built to give you big-boat cruising capability -- headroom, head and optional diesel engine -- and still retains the easy handling of a compact 25-foot boat. The CAL 25 has quite a cabin for a 25 foot boat. It has five foot ten inch headroom in the main salon. Five and a half feet in the head and forward cabin.

The CAL 25 Yacht by Jensen Marine (1979)
The peace of mind that comes from knowing this 25-footer will perform handsomely. And years later, your CAL 25 will probably be worth more than what you paid for her. For speed, Bill Lapworth gave the CAL 25 a tall, easy-to-handle masthead rig and over 300 square feet of sail. So she'll really scoot— even in light air.

CAL 2-27: A Cruising Classic. Not a Racing Has-Been (1977)
The CAL 2-27 yacht is fast — on any point of sail. She doesn't die if the wind is light. Or knuckle under in a blow. But she doesn't have a racer's skittish helm or hard-to-manage sail plan. And she isn't a menace in a crowded anchorage or when maneuvering in a narrow slip. In fact, you'll often want to sail her in, just for the pleasure of it.

CAL 29 Yacht: Fast Enough to Win, Big Enough to Enjoy, Small Enough to Afford (1973)
The CAL 29 Yacht is big. She offers complete accommodations for six, with full standing headroom in both main and forward cabins. Her layout features a unique expanding seating arrangement — the cushioned settee extends to pageWrapper around the full width of the cabin for an amazing 14 feet of sitting room!

CAL 29: How Lapworth Unwinds on Weekends (1973)
When Bill Lapworth gets away from his design board, it's to campaign his CAL 29, Merrydown. Hard. If you feel the same way about racing that Bill Lapworth does and would like the exact same boat he uses to win, see the CAL 29 yacht.

The New CAL 29 Yacht: Built Especially for the Cruising Sailor (1973)

New half ton CAL T/2 Yacht: already a proven winner (1973)
Bill Lapworth knew what he was doing when he sat down to design a new boat to bring home the silverware from international Half Ton races. Starting with the race-proven CAL 27 hull, he designed a new configuration above the water to put her rating right on the nose of the Half Ton requirement.

New Quarter Ton CAL T/4 (1972)
The CAL T/4 looks and feels as good as she goes. Her roomy two-cabin interior is exquisitely finished in mahogany or optional teak. She has berths for four, an enclosed head, and a hanging locker. The cabin sides are fully insulated with attractive fabric-on-foam, and curtains and carpeting are standard.
