Any other Cal 24 Hunt owners out there?

Hello All. Yesterday I picked up a Cal 24 which is in usable condition for daysailing, but the interior came in something resembling kit form. The PO had started to refurbish the boat and removed most of the interior wood elements.

I'd like to put the interior back together but was hoping to find some photos of an intact interior to use as a guide to where everything goes. I mean some of it is obvious and I'm sure I can figure out the rest over time but if there should be pics available that would be great, so if you know of or have any please let me know.

Some of the work the boat needs I hope to have someone take care of, but I have to be careful of spending too much money on her. Any recommendations for people in the Annapolis/Deale area who can do some of what I need at a reasonable rate would be great. I'm going to be needing a new headliner installed, so fiberglass repair, cushions re-covered, maybe some painting. I plan to do some things myself but don't really have the time and skill to do all of it.

Thanks!

What is a Cal 24 Hunt? Is this different from the Cal 24 with a keel centerboard? If its different, can't help you. If its the same, I know several current owners. My parents owned one in the 60s and I'm still in contact with several who still or again own them.

Thanks but no, I have the 1983/4 Raymond Hunt designed version, which is a completely different boat, and apparently rare! I guess I'm going to have to make do with the rare picture from For Sale ads and some general puzzle solving.
