cal 2 -27

Im looking for a first boat (under 30 feet) that I can cruise in and race in the SF bay. I want to buy a used boat for under 10K and someone suggested a CAl 2-27. What do you think of the cal 2-27? Know where I can find one in California (Bay Area?)? Other boat suggestions?

When I was looking for my first "big boat" over thirty years ago (yikes!), I fell in lust with a 2-27 in Annapolis. She has a tremendous amount of room down below and in my opinion, very nice lines. I ended up getting a Catalina 22 because it was what I could afford, but I still remember that boat fondly.

I found this one listed on ABLBoats.com.

Sail Boat in San Francisco, California - 1976, Cal, 2-27 - Used Boats - Boat Classifieds - Buy a Boat - Sell a Boat

If you can't find a 2-27 in your price range, the Cal 25 isn't a bad choice either.

Sail Boat in Coronado Cays, California - 1968, Cal, 25 - Used Boats - Boat Classifieds - Buy a Boat - Sell a Boat

Good luck with the hunt!
