This ready to sail cal 2-29 is a great learning boat for a young family that is just starting out or an aspiring racer looking for a first boat. The cabin offers plenty of comfort for kids to entertain themselves on a day sail or for a small family to spend a night. The cockpit is setup for single handing with kids; lifelines have netting for extra safety, all lines run aft, and the wheel is equipped with an autopilot.
Slip transfer is available!
Equipment: Feathering three-blade Maxprop propeller and new shaft in 2021. All new standing rigging, running rigging in 2016. Harken roller furler, interior cushions, and toilet in 2016, new traveler and control lines in 2020, new jib sheets in 2021, new Thurston Quantum sails cross cut 135 Genoa in 2021, 4-batten Thurston Quantum mainsail was checked by Steve Thurston at Quantum and in good condition in 2022, mainsail cover in 2020, new Thurston Canvas Bimini in 2020, new Thurston Canvas dodger in 2021, battery charger in 2020, two new batteries in 2022, two interior fans in 2020, Raymarine wheel autopilot system in 2020, new Rule automatic bilge pump and hose 2022.
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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
According to the CAL 29 brochure, the CAL 2-29 is a “special cruising version of the CAL 29…and includes, as standard equipment, a diesel engine, pressurized shower, pedestal steering, vanity with medicine chest, electric bilge pump, extra water tank and shore power system.” So both the 29 and the 2-29 must have been built at the same time, though the first 2-29 must have been introduced somewhat later than the standard 29.
Many thanks to David Burnham, CAL 2-29 owner, who solved this mystery and kindly offered his original brochures to prove the case.
