Seller's Description

The owner bought this boat in 2008

General condition and any additional information

1974 Cal-Jensen Sailing Sloop ‘MystiCal’ has been lovingly and meticulously restored and upgraded ready for some lucky sailors to explore the world.

The coveted Lapworth design (only 129 made!) and unique model is a sturdy ocean going vessel with spacious live-aboard characteristics including a raised salon allowing magnificent views from her generous galley. Two berths, two heads, a table that converts to a double bed and plenty of deck room makes for great ‘family and friends’ sailing experiences! Enclosed cockpit for comfortable sailing in any weather, Walis furnace for cooler climes and a ‘walk-in’ engine room has Mysti-Cal the envy of cramped quartered sailors everywhere! Why are we selling this beauty? The captain has sailed on to the stars and the first mate hasn’t the heart to sail without him. We were set to sail around the world but only made it around NFLD before the captain was diagnosed with a fatal form of asbestos cancer.

All serious inquiries will be referred to our broker @ Sunnybrook Yachts, Chester NS

Calculations

Hull Speed
9.0 kn
Classic: 8.21 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

9.04 knots
Classic formula: 8.21 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
14.2
<16: under powered

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.
14.17
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
26.7
<40: less stiff, less 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

26.67
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
254.0
200-275: 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
253.97
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
39.9
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat

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
39.91
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.6
<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
1.61
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

The third iteration of the CAL 46 MS. Differences between this and the previous version (CAL 2-46) include smaller cabin windows and a different interior layout. All the 46’s were based on the same hull.
Also available as a sloop. (E=17.5)
