RE: [External] Re: [Cal_Boats] Re: Cal 39 MK II, MK III displacement - HINs Again (Rod)

Thanks, Rod. Someday I will get that right. There were no CAL 25s built late enough to have the new date designation. Even our final 1976 boats use the mmyy designation at the end of the HIN.

To the CAL 39 owner below......The 1980 CAL 39 would be a MKIII (based on the pics that were posted earlier of the one supposedly built for Jim Hunt) and that was a LAPWORTH-Design. Don't confuse "Built FOR Jim Hunt" with "Designed BY C.R. Hunt ASSOCIATES" The Hunt DESIGNED CAL 39 was built from 1987-89 and is a very different boat. Rod Johnson, "SUNBIRD" 1979 O'DAY DS II #10201 (specifically: XDY10201M79E, built in Dec 1978 as a 1979 Model, CAL and O'DAY used same HIN format) was: "NODROG" 1970 CAL 21 #285 On Tue, 2 Dec 2014 04:21:14 +0000 "'Husar, Charlie [USA] (ASE)' hu… [at] bah.com<mailto:hu… [at] bah.com> [Cal_Boats]" <Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com<mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com>> writes: Steve, don’t know about the rest, but the model years began in August of the year before (kinda like cars). The number 80 that you see is preceded by a letter starting with A for August, B for September, and so on. A80 would be August 1979 fabrication. The tall mast and shrouds and all that make a discussion for someone more knowledgeable. Cheers
