Re: [Cal_Boats] JEMA Cal 21ft 1972 Hull 222 [3 Attachments]

Well, she does look like she has not seen any TLC for a long time. One problem with the CAL 21 (and maybe all CALs of that vintage, is that they do not take kindly to neglect, especially water collecting inside. A few observations; 1) the compression post under the mast is not stock, original was aluminum pipe welded to a flange top and bottom. 2) not sure why there is a spacer under the mast step/hinge, and the tabernacle/hinge is not original (Maybe lower end of mast was corroded and the spacer makes up for what needed to be cut off?) 3) there is a small part of the main bulkhead missing, not big..... but that section to the left of the keel trunk should be a step, about 3" above the bilge at the keel trunk. Would love to see more pics, but I would not consider this boat "too far gone", although I'd estimate need for a lot of replacement plywood. Oh, and I do not think she is a 1972 model, if the hull# really is "222", then she was built in early 1970 at the Marlboro, NJ Jensen Marine Factory (I know because our boat, delivered in March 1970, was hull# 285 and all boats with an even number as the first digit in the hull# are "East Coast" factory built) Rod Johnson, "SUNBIRD" 1979 O'DAY DS II #10201 former co-owner of "NODROG" 1970 CAL 21 #285 On 06 Nov 2016 02:49:25 -0800 "la… [at] yahoo.com [Cal_Boats]" <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com> writes: [Attachment(s) from la… [at] yahoo.com [Cal_Boats] included below] Was given his boat and I am wondering if it is worth my time to redo all the wood damaged?
