... John: I'm just back from vacation and trying to get caught up at work and on my e-mails. The big question on Cal 20s is the condition of the deck core,...
... Back from vacation here, catching up on e-mails. I'll be careful about etiquette henceforth, knowing what tender sensibilities are held by our listeroos. ...
... I'll add my condolences here, because I know how hard it is to think about parting with a boat you've sailed for a long time. My other boat, a 1961...
Ah, yes, Chris. I had the opportunity to be aboard the HMS Victory in Portsmouth, England in late June. She had blocks of very similar composition. :~]...
Many thanks. I'd been looking through my old references for this site. For those with the small winches with no rollers, I had a pair of those (forget which...
Hi, All. A few references to past list sites. Cheers Charlie ... From: Michael D [mailto:mddfl@...] Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 10:10 AM To: Cal ...
... Geez, another upgrade for the Cal 20. I had to buy a new jib halyard 3 years ago; will these expenses never stop? Chris Campbell heading off to West...
Hello all! As a new owner of a 28 Cal with no motor and my background with boats is primarily with jet boats and powerfull motors. Here is my question how fast...
Hi, Mike. For displacement (not planing like a Donzi) hulls, the hull speed is 1.3 times the square root of the water line. In your case, about 6.3 knots, I...
... Unless the boat is really in bad shape, here's an opportunity to get a friend into a great boat for a very small price. If it's in your neighborhood,...
Thank you for the advice. As for the Hussie I picked her up from a guy in Santa Barbara he owned the boat for 7yrs 4yrs he lived in the outer bay I sailed her...
Mike, There are a number of "rules-of-thumb" that get real close to the amount of horsepower that can realistically be used without being grossly over-powered...
Mike, Glad to hear from another Cal 28 owner out there! We bought a Cal 28 sight unseen off of Ebay back in January. We've been having a blast ever since! ...
Bruce, There is a prevailing south easterly current off the coast of California (driven by the prevailing northwesterly winds) that could add (or subtract) a...
Thanks, Duane. I was told it was an easy sail to the south, and a bear coming back north. Debbie and I are the victims of the Varig Airlines bankruptcy. We...
Hi, Bruce - You are merely the first available person here, as well as the most available culprit. Please do not take this personally as it is meant to remind...

Robert, Thanks for the information about the old Cal 28. Dave wrote back and said it is probably his boat. He sold to some one in Dana Point. Maybe he can ...
... This seems to be a widespread phenomenon, especially in home insurance--you make a claim, you get canceled on some pretext. It happened to my mother. My...
Rog, No problema. In my defense, I did change the subject line from Cal 2-27 to Cal 28 Power. I enjoy reading all posts on all topics. I am soaking it all...
I did State Farm on my CAL 25 with $6K boat coverage on top of liability for $300. Not all State Farm agents are conversant with boat coverage. Cheers Charlie...
Okay, Fin, Mike Kennedy and the rest of you SoCal sailors, don't let me down, here. Do you want me to put in my two bits about how easy a sail is to Catalina...
My boat's PO made one with a piece of aluminum, drilled for two bolts at the proper spacing. I have not yet had the occasion to use it, but he claims it works...
