Including the Dow and Inflation

In under four years, over 175 CAL 39 owners have combined pleasure with sound business. The average Return On Investment of a CAL 39 would embarrass a Fortune 500 company and positively overwhelm most investment houses.

Yet, we've never known an owner who purchased a CAL 39 simply for its monetary value. A fine yacht is often the just deserts of half a lifetime of effort, and as such represents a standard of achievement as well as taste.

That achievement and taste have their own rewards, and the pleasure and pride a CAL 39 can bring to its owners cannot be measured in money alone.

The CAL 39 Is Expensive, and Looks It

It is a powerful sailing weapon, and it looks like that as well. Yet its most significant accomplishment is the arrangement of three private cabins within an elegant performance hull.

The family that would sail a CAL 39 would live aboard for extended periods and entertain as they would in their own home. Our new interior has made that easier. Neither the luxurious owner's stateroom aft nor the uncluttered guest stateroom forward impinges on the spaciousness of the main salon.

This central living and working area features a generous U-shaped galley, a secluded navigator's station, and an entertaining room for the whole crowd without crowding. At night, it converts into a giant stateroom.

Fabrics and finishes are suitably rich. Teak prevails throughout. The leaded glass liquor locker is both a symbol of our commitment to a certain quality of life at sea and an eminently practical storage unit for vital motivational fluids.

The entire CAL 39–hull, deck and interior–is the work of the master, Bill Lapworth, whose classic boats are simply legends. And "classic" isn't a characteristic a designer applies to a boat; it's a recognition that the boat must earn.

Does all this tempt you to invest in an entire portfolio of CAL 39s? Out of respect for the time-honored financial principle of many eggs/many baskets, we suggest a more modest position.

One CAL 39 should be sufficient for any prudent investor.

The CAL 39

We have prepared extensive color brochures on the Bill Lapworth-designed CAL 39, CAL 35, CAL 31, and CAL 25, and on the Ron Holland-designed CAL 9.2 Meter. See your CAL dealer or write us for this information.
