RE: [Cal_Boats] Cal Database (Mark)

Hi, Mark. Are you getting the numbers from the imprint on the stern of the boat (started in 1973 or 74). A few possibilities here: For a number of years (1968 to ??), CALs were built in both CA and NJ. If the CAL 25s are an example, the first digit or two digits in the hull number tell you where it was built. 7nn, 9nn, 11nn, 13nn... built in CA. 8nn, 10nn, 12nn... built in NJ. Thus, the numbers need not be in date sync. Somebody made up a number. It is quite common on older boats. CAL 29s changed models in between, and started renumbering.

The hull numbers and years of the Cal 2-29 don't compute unless mfg from different locations maybe? The one in Long Beach CA is from 1977 hull number 277, where the pelican is 1976 hull #918.

To complicate matters a little more, Cals were also build in Canada by Calgan Marine in Vancouver. Al Nairne, a good friend of Jack Jensen, was down in California in 1962 and discovered the Cal 20. He fell in love with the little boat and arranged with Jack to build it up North in Vancouver, British Columbia. Al's company was called Calgan Marine Ltd., and they began manufacturing Cal 20s later that year. In all Calgan Marine build about 180 Cal 20 models under licence, They also build the Cal 25, Cal 28, and Cal 29 boats. In addition to the Cal line, they developed their own line of sailboats, the Crown 18, 28 and 34. Calgan Marine is no longer in business.
