RE: [Cal_Boats] Re: Cal 2-27 for sale

Hi, All. As we know, Bill Lapworth was into "purpose-built boats" (e.g., racers, criuisers, off-shore, kick-around). Sometimes, the boats were successful in secondary functions. For the 27 series, dates I have are: 27 (pop-top) - 1971-74 (a racing design, I believe) T/2 - 1972-74 (This boat is 27 hull with a glased in pop-top. It was designed to satisfy the MORC racing rule under IOR. There were headroom requirements, and the T/2 was a quick fix. The T/2 meant half-ton under IOR. That designation had nothing to do with the weight of the boat.) 2-27 - 1974-80 (a more comfy, spacious cruising design so the increased weight was not a consideration) 27 III - 1982-84+ (resign for the smaller cruising type boat, probably to take advantage of lower cost construction material and methods) That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Unless of course, someone tells me I am wrong.

The 2-27 followed the original Cal 27, a boat with a pop-top cabin-house and less than stellar performance. The successor offered 4 inches more beam and 5 inches less DWL but 1,300 pounds more displacement. Cal Boats already had success with the Cal 29, but looked for a similar design that was smaller and more in tune with the struggling economy. Later, Lapworth designed the Cal 3-27, which was launched in 1983 and underwent a rather confusing name change back to Cal 27 before it was taken off the assembly line in 1985." --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, "Rodney G.
