CAL 40-Foot Sailboats & Yachts
The CAL 40-Foot Sailboats & Yachts section features Jensen Marine / CAL advertisements for the company's larger offshore racers, cruising yachts, and world-cruising sailboats from the late 1960s through the early 1980s. Centered on models such as the legendary CAL 40, CAL 43, CAL 44, CAL Cruising 46, CAL 2-46, and CAL 46-III, these materials highlight CAL's racing success, Bill Lapworth's performance-oriented designs, and the company's ability to combine ocean-racing speed with comfortable long-distance cruising accommodations. Together, the collection documents CAL's position as a major builder of serious offshore sailboats for Transpac racers, bluewater cruisers, liveaboard sailors, and owners seeking a capable yacht with both performance and comfort.
CAL 40 wins Los Angeles to Honolulu Transpac Race (1967)
CAL 40s also took Second and Third Place in Class C. Not surprisingly, they represented all but two boats in the class. What was surprising was the remarkable performance of the CAL 36s. Entered in the Transpac for the first time, they won an impressive 3rd Overall and swept Class D 1-2-3.

The New CAL 2-46: Because Getting There's Half the Fun (1975)

CAL 2-46: Because an offshore cruiser doesn't have to sail like an antique (1976)
The CAL 2-46 yacht weighs 15 tons. Hefty for a coastwise cruiser, but light for an offshore boat, so she rises over massive ocean rollers like a modern ocean racer, instead of wallowing in the troughs—rides with a breaking storm wave, instead of stopping dead in its path.

CAL 46-III Offshore Liveaboard Cruiser (1977)
The CAL 46-III weighs 15 tons. Hefty for a coastwise cruiser. But light for an offshore boat. So she rises over massive ocean rollers like a modem ocean racer, instead of wallowing in the troughs.
