Re: [Cal_Boats] CAL 25 Mainsail (Rod)
Charlie, 2 very different boats. The CAL 2-24 was the one that sort-of
looked like a smaller 25, the T/4 was the design that more or less seems
to have replaced the 2-24 in the CAL model line up and the T/4 more or
less looked like a smaller version of the first CAL 27 (AKA pop-top 27)
but without the pop-top and with an outboard rudder on a reverse transom
(top of transom was forward of the bottom). Other than that.... I believe
the T/4 was designed to compete in the MORC 1/4 Ton class, just as the
T/2 was designed to compete in the MORC 1/2 Ton Class.

I might have this messed up , but is not the CAL 2-24 also called a T/4
(designed for MORC)? I know that the T/4 had/has it's rudder on the
stern. So many boats, so little time.

It would be the later, CAL 2-24 that looks like a slightly smaller
version of the 25. Even then it is a VERY different boat, starting with
the cast-iron fin-keel. The original CAL 24 was very similar to but
beamier than the LAPWORTH 24/Gladiator 24. The CAL 24 had a shallow
full-keel with a centerboard housed inside, the LAPWORTH 24 was a deep
full-keel. The Gladiator was the same hull as the L24, but with a CAL25
style raised deck (so-called "flat deck"). I guess that the CAL 2-24
would look like the Gladiator from a distance, easy to tell apart when
hauled out, since the Gladiator has a full-keel w/attached rudder and the
CAL 2-24 has a Fin-Keel with a spade rudder.

Thanks for the advice Charlie. We are still trying to get a full ID,
but it is not the flat deck type. Origin is 1964 on the registration,
and it needs a lot of TLC. But the hull is very strong still so we
are rebuilding the interior and the rigging. The boat is living in
Oregon and eventually will be our little weekender then used for short
week long cruises in the San Juans.
