Seller's Description

1969 CAL Cruising 36 Sailboat Modified Pilothouse Model. Hull #20 of 48 built.

Modified pilothouse style with lots of light through five big windows. It is a joy to sit inside or outside with the full enclosure regardless of the weather. Her Newport diesel heater keeps us warm and provides ambiance when the skies are grey.

Originally a tiller, the previous owner had a binnacle installed with an instrument cluster. The large cockpit is great for hanging out and for having guests on board. You could easily sleep out there, but we generally prefer the pullman as a couple.

She is well set up for power management and we can go two nights without having to run the motor. Then with the new 90Amp alternator we motor for a few hours and are charged back up and ready for a couple more nights on batteries. She has three group 31 AGM batteries. One is for the starter and two are the house bank.

Having new (2009) fuel tanks is huge in these older boats and we have run many gallons through her without a problem. This year we are at about 25 hours on the engine so far.

We looked for the right boat for about two years and when we found Sognare, we knew she was the one! You wont find a more ready-to-go boat (we are using her right now) in this condition for under $35K. We have priced her to sell quickly as our move is coming up.

The previous owner left a detailed list of projects, photos and vendors dating back to 2006, so lots of solid documentation about recent work done on the boat.

This is a cash AS-IS deal. There is a licensing office in Anacortes where we can transfer the title and we have a one-page (Boat US) Purchase and Sale agreement you can use. We are happy to have your professional surveyor come to check her out.

Equipment: 37 LOA (tip to tip was in a 36 slip) Traveler relocated to cabin top to allow for full canopy All lines run aft 70 gallons of water storage in two tanks 61 gallons of diesel storage in two tanks (new in 2009) Sleeps 6 in three bunks (v-berth, pullman, dinette) Over six feet of headroom throughout including under full canopy Pressurized water at sink and head Autopilot, chart plotter, depth and speed gauges, VHF with GPS and windvane New in 2022 and 2023: Bowman cooling system, valve adjust, filters, fluids, electric fuel pump, inverter, hoses, belt, alternator, starter, and raw water pump. Manual windlass (serviced in 2023) Air Head composting toilet Transient winter-rate moorage available at Cap Sante Marina (where Sognare is based)

Calculations

Hull Speed
7.5 kn
Classic: 6.96 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

7.51 knots
Classic formula: 6.96 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
18.3
16-20: good performance

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.
18.32
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
?

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

?
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
272.1
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
272.13
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
27.8
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
27.77
<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
1.8
<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
1.81
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Same hull as the CAL 36.
Shallow draft: 4.92’.
