new to group

I just joined the group and it looks great. I have a 1979 ? cal 27 with a poptop that I sail on Lake Superior. It was in pretty bad shape when I got it but over the years have been putting her back together. If anyone has info, plans, measurements for the material that went around the poptop that would be great thanks lee

Can't help with the pop top, but I have a CAL T/2 (27 footer) and things are similar except mine does not have a pop top. Welcome! I rebuilt my 1972 as well. Bill

I certainly welcome another Cal 27pop-top to the group, and to another G.L. sailor. The only thing I don't think I could do is sail Superior. Been there (s. shore) dozens of times, lake was always rough (and COLD). What Hull # do you have?

Lee, I have a 1972 Cal 27 pop-top here on Lake St. Clair, and have the original manual, as well as the 1972 M.O.R.C. rating sheet for it. What other info do you need, that I can possibly supply? We are the second owner, and the PO bought all the bells and whistles available in 1972 for her, including canvas for the top (when up). You can reply off-list if you wish...

The lake can be cold a rough and it is a good thing Duluth has a big harbor to sail in even then your feet get cold when water comes in the cock pit. I have no idead of how to figure out the hull number but here is the number I did find HinCAB272561273 Lee --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, "Dave Leasia" <telephone_dr@...> wrote: > > I certainly welcome another Cal 27pop-top to the group, and to > another G.L. sailor.

Lee - Looks like you have an HIN from before 1984 ;-) - so your hull number is either 27256, but more probably the first 2 digits - 27 - is the general model number and the 256 is the hull number for the series. The 1273 is most likely Dec. 1973 - the certification date. http://www.boatsafe.com/nauticalknowhow/hin.htm TomT 1982 Cal 9.2, Hull #53, "Lenochka" San Mateo, CA lcarcal27 <lc… [at] advanstar.com> wrote: The lake can be cold a rough and it is a good thing Duluth has a big harbor to sail in even then your feet get cold when water comes in the cock pit.
