Re: [Cal_Boats] Digest Number 4189
I too have a Cal 2-29 Ariel, that we just launched in Huatulco Mexico,
after being on the hard for 6 years. In that time we gutted her, replaced
the beam and several bulk heads. Finally this year she got a new paint job.
It took longer because being in Mexico it is hard to get stuff. Im going to
post some picture when get it cleaned up a little more and after I've gone
sailing, I hope I remember how.
I have owed this boat since 1994 and she has always been a great sailer. I
have had several sailors from from Canada to Panama say that they wish then
had never sold there Cal.
