Seller's Description

This very well-appointed, and updated Cal 2-46 is ready for the bluewater. She has been updated with current equipment.

The two solar panels power the entire vessel minus the refrigerator and freezer. There is no plumbed air conditioner however the seller is leaving the large portable air conditioning unit which works perfectly to cool down the interior.

The walk-in engine room is very clean and easy to get to everything.

The forward V-berth is cozy and private with its own head. The Autopilot is set up to control a 50,000 lb vessel when this one is only 30,000 lbs. This allows the vessel to stay on course in the roughest of seas.

This vessel is equipped with two windlasses, one forward, and one aft.

She has been very nicely maintained and cared for by this second owner for 22 years.

This vessel is a must-see!!!

Dinghy included: 2005 AB Inflatable 9’6”

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
12.9
<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.
12.94
<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

A development from the earlier CAL 46 MS (CAL CRUISING 46). The differences between this and the earlier version:
The engine room has been moved forward to midships, the aft cabin moved further aft.
The main salon and the forward cabin have been enlarged.
This ‘new’ design, proved to be a huge success with 95 built.
Bill Lapworth has stated that this was his favorite design and a yacht that he actually owned.
The boat went through a third iteration in the mid-‘70’s that included smaller cabin windows and a different interior layout. All the 46’s were based on the same hull.
Available as sloop or ketch.
