Re: Do YOU own a Cal 2-29?(Headroom question)

Hmmmmm, so I've found one for about $7000 CDN that is in OK shape. I went and had a look at it, but I'm realizing that my frame of reference on used boats isn't very good yet. I haven't done enough...

Re: HMS Bounty in trouble...

Though I can't imagine how there could possibly have been a good reason for the Bounty to have left port in the first place, one of the main points of that Rescue Swimmer's article seems to have been...

Re: Cal 2-29 vs Cal 2-27 (Crown 28, actually...)

Could be, or could be not! Information is needed, and so far, hard to come by. You want to come along on that shakedown? I'm going to need someone aboard with more experience than me.... (I'll...

Re: Cal 2-29 vs Cal 2-27 (Crown 28, actually...)

Hmmm, good idea,... maybe Crown's back on the list since that's what it has for a layout. The only way to know for sure is to find one to see in person and lay around... the issue with this...

Re: Cal 2-29 vs Cal 2-27 (Crown 28, actually...)

Cal 2-29 vs Cal 2-27 (Crown 28, actually...)

So, I've been very impressed with everything I've read about the Cal 2-29, and lots of former owners have made the same comment "it's the one boat I wish I'd never sold"...

There's one for sale...

Re: Hello From Kamloops, BC

It definitely is on my list... though I realize I`m jumping the gun when I say that I'm actually more interested in purchasing.... Yes, I do know what BOAT stands for, but I've seen a few enticing...

Re: Do YOU own a Cal 2-29?(Headroom question)

Yes, I figured it was likely less than 6'3" (my height), as are I would assume, most boats under 30'. I'm just trying to ascertain how much under 6'3" it really is. A little stoop is OK for a...

Hello From Kamloops, BC

Hi there,

I'm new both to sailing (recently heavily, and I believe incurably, addicted to sailing) and to this forum. I live a few hundred kilometres from the saltwater (hence the user name), but...
