Fw: Re: [Cal_Boats] CAL Boat Models (33 and 35)
Charlie, the CAL 35 ketch was usually referred to as the CAL-CRUISING 35,
and was more or less a smaller version of the CAL 2-46. The hull shape
and underbody were very similar to the 46, but the CC35 was an
aft-cockpit boat with what we would now refer to as a "raised-salon"
layout. The CC 35 was offered as a sloop or optionally as a ketch.

Select CAL. You will find Lapworth and Hunt 33s, but only Lapworth 35s
(several intriguing varieties). Don't think I've ever seen a CAL 35
ketch.

Scott,
I believe with some research you will find the Cal 35 is a Lapworth
design, maybe an IOR design. Hunt versions of the cal are 86 and up.
I have not seen a listing for anything between the 33 and 39 in the hunt
variety.
As far as coastal cruising, our Cal 33 has been great for the past 9
years! We are hoping for just as many more. The new boats are inviting
though. Ours will be paid off soon, so that will make ours more
affordable. J
Another couple in our marina went cruising last summer in their Cal 33.
NC down to Georgia, then up to Maine and back home, in 6 months or so.
They had a wonderful time. Some of the legs were offshore, NJ to Block
island, and of course anything North of Connecticut I think is considered
offshore. From the tales being told, they never had problems sailing.
Stories about storms in crowded anchorages we their concerns. I think
you will find the Cal 33 would suite you needs for coastal cruising.
Ours is the shoal draft 48. I think we lose some pointing ability over
the deep draft. Around Oriental, where the max water depth is 20,
people dont get nervous until the depth meter starts reading 6 or less.
6 draft is deep for our area even thought there a lot of boats around
with deeper drafts and full keels. For racing the PHRF of 130 may be on
target. Thats a low number compared to similar boats of the vintage and
size.
I think you will find the Cal 33 a very suitable boat! And if you can
find a 39 you will like it better! Have you thought about coming down to
Oriental and take a test ride? I certainly owe some of the Chesapeake
Cal listers a favor from past GOB rides.

PS. Hey Alfred or Charlie, how about an GOB report! Did I miss another
great weather sail?

Hi everyone!
I've been looking at the Hunt designed Cal 33 and Cal 35's (at least I
think Hunt designed these). Anyway, I plan to still own/race my Cal 25
but want to add a cruising boat to the stable. I wanted to keep it in
the Cal family, as the Cal folks seem more "down to earth" than on other
owners forums. Are there any good/bad points to consider on these boats?
Several of the ones I've found are the deep draft versions (6' draft).
Is this too deep for the Chesapeake Bay and local area crusing around
Annapolis? Would the deep draft 33 make a good point to point racer for
events like Gov. Cup? Are the 33 and 35 good choices for occasional
coastal crusing and eventually offshore cruising? For cruising, I tend
to like boats with smaller cockpits and small hatches with bridge decks.
Any other models that I should consider?
Input is appreciated.
