Someone asked if I had pics of the 20 I bought last year .
Got them finally sorted on the net. All pics are courtesy of Chris B
who took these as the boat was being delivered and stored at his house
while I cam down to get it as I could not get a trailer organized in
time to meet MMI's timeline requirements. He even went so far as to
pick up the boat, and then lend me his trailer to drive it back to
where it sits. Cant ask for more....thank a million.

As she is going to be a project for a while still, she will be going
under the shed with link posted previously. the good part is the plan
for this boat has been set and I now know what to do with her and how
to build her out now thanks to Mike sending me "the book". It will
take some time, as the 29 has priority hence the shed. She will be
relegated to the great lakes when done.

It's great that another Cal 20 is rescued. Your photos made me grateful
all over again at the good condition of my boat when I bought her.
Luckily, the first owner was the kind of guy who took care of his boat,
and the interim owners did not have her long enough to do any serious
harm. My intent is that when the time comes for me to pass on my boat
to somebody else--many years hence, if I'm lucky--they will acknowledge
the good care she had while in my custody. One good thing about owning
old houses & boats is that you realize that none of us actually "owns"
anything. We're just temporary custodians, and we ought to view our
period of custody as just part of the life of the object.
