Cal 29 brochure (was Cal Knowledgebase)

The Cal 29 brochure posted on http://www.richardanderson.net/TechSavvy/CAL_BOATS.html is a later version than the one that came with Pentaquod, and I found a detail that was fascinating to me. The boat is referred to as a Cal 29 in the brochure, and at the very end, it states: "In addition, a special cruising version of the Cal 29 is available which includes as standard equipment a diesel engine, pressurized shower, and pedestal steering." Wow - that describes what I call the 2-29, but it sounds as though when it was first introduced, it was simply an option package that created a "cruising" version of the boat.

Yeah, based on what I've seen it seems like they released the Cal 29, added a cruising version, then just made all 29s similar to the cruising version and called them 2-29s.
