Re: [Cal_Boats] Re: 1989 CAL 39 MKIII

The Hunt Associates-Designed CAL 39 did have a cored hull, perhaps the only CAL (other than perhaps the CAL 9.2?) that did not have a solid fiberglass hull. The Write-up that I have from the SAIL Magazine "Sailboat & Equipment Directory, 1988" lists the CAL 39 hull as having a Divinycell foam core "used throughout the hull". The description in that write-up makes a lot of mention of trying to save weight, while keeping the boat strong. The description sounds like they were trying for an "updated" CAL 40, although it never alludes to doing so. None of the other Hunt Associates-Designed CALs mention the cored hull, and I am pretty sure that I recall that this CAL 39 was the only one, as I say....... it appeared that CAL was going a bit upscale and modern with this design.

I am really only curious about the 39. I am fairly certain this is some anomaly near the end just before Cal went under. I would think most all Cal boats have solid hull. But I know you can't tell by looking at the exterior. That one ad of that 39 is only what prompted my question. Maybe the seller is mistaken.

I have not discovered anywhere in the hull where there is a core material. All through-hull holes were solid fiberglass � they left them on the boat when it was commissioned. The deck, however, is cored with plywood � looks to be 1/2�. This has been consistent wherever we have added deck accessories.

Hull molds were sold, and I thought the 33 & 39 also modified the �sugar scoop� walk through transom. Other mods like cored hulls, I have not heard about.

I am trying to find out if the hull is cored. Based on an ad, they state the hull is cored 18" outboard of the keel, with solid fiberglass 'windows' where there are through hulls.. I was surprised to read that the hull was cored.
