Seller's Description
Beautiful lines, and comfortable ride are the highlights of this CAL 39.
With lots of space on deck and high lifelines, it is very easy to move around when sailing this boat. Even though the boat is single-handed rigged, there is an appreciable amount of space to get to all the sheets, lines throughout the boat.
In the cockpit area, you are shaded by a big bimini with dodger frame and have plenty of seating space with storage. On the transom there is plenty of space for 3 people, and ample space between the seat and helm wheel. The Chartplotter is conveniently located on a navpod above the steering. The gauges for the engine are on the port side.
Inside, lots of natural light make this cabin look bigger. As you step down you have your nav station and one of the berths on the starboard side and your galley on the port side. Plenty of counter space and storage in the galley, ideal to bring enough food for a long trip. As you move forward, the big living area which has many uses, can be used as a dinette, living room, or one single berth, depending on your needs when dining table is lowered you have a double berth to port plus the single on Starboard settee. Boat sleeps 7. Very large storage areas outboard of the cabin with custom built in drawers to port and starboard. Toward the bow and to port, you have your wet head. This particular head was converted to a composting toilet eliminating leaky holding tanks, complex plumbing and foul odors. Last, a very comfortable forward V-berth with adequate lighting and CO detector completes the cabin of this boat.
This particular boat has been updated by the current owner with some peace of mind services. Among the biggest jobs done since 2021 are: Replaced stuffing box with PSS dripless shaft seal, New Cutlass bearings, Serviced heat exchanger, New exhaust system, New bottom paint, Petit Trinidad HD, New Batteries, Two new 200W solar panels and solar controller, New composting head, Pressured tested aluminum fuel tank, Cleaned water tank, New WIFI enabled Airmar transducer/speed wheel and temp gauge, two brand new port and starboard lights, new forward hatch glass, New Garmin GPSmap 942XS, New VHF, New foot switches for the windlass.
Everything you need to set sail right away.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
8.6 kn
Classic: 7.59 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
17.4
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
41.2
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
229.7
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
27.9
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
