Boat: 16 foot daysailer....named Jolly Mon	this weekend. It is a 1986 in really good shape.(engine has been rebuilt and has 90 hours on it) Does anyone else out there sail these? Would love to hear the good and the bad. We are going to be sailing it off the coast of and NH. It needs a few things but overall it seems like the perfect fit for us. Thanks Alice

Boat: 16 foot daysailer....named Jolly Mon	. We are trying it out next weekend but have been on it and I like it. I thought the would suit us perfect also as we will be cruising with the two of us and our 10 year old daughter. Thanks again for the link. Alice

	. As a results, much of the is overbuilt and heavier duty than you may find on other 28' cruisers. The is arranged with the necessary lines led aft and good access to the 4 winches. An experienced sailor can easily hand the . She handles well under full sail up to about 15-20kts, above which we tend to put the first of two in the main. The reefing system on ours is maddening (single line jiffy through boom), and it's on my list of things to change. She points OK for what she is (cruiser/racer), and we don't find evidence of much . We've had as many as 7 people aboard for day sailing, but no more than 4 adults is a realistic number for everyone to be comfortable in the . Cockpit comings are well designed for back support and the distance between benches is close enough to allow for when heeling. The lazarette is very large and well laid out for access to the tank/filter, hot and discharge . These do seem to have a very slight list to stbd, probably due to the and other systems being located on that side. Decks are wide enough to move fore and aft, but it gets a little crowded when going around the lower shrouds. Ours is the standard and draws 5'3", a shoal version was also made which draws 3'9". I assume you will have the boat surveyed prior to . On each of the Cal 28-2's that we've seen out of the , the to joint is visible. This may or may not be a problem, but it is something to look for prior to purchase. At 13HP, the is able to push the boat at through some chop, but it may be underpowered under rougher conditions. access is fantastic after removing the base. I will say that the engine is noisy and I wouldn't want to spend an extended period of time down below while under . It isn't well ventilated either and retains heat after motoring - great for the Fall/Spring, not so good in the summer. We have a feathering prop on ours and as a result, she handles very well in reverse. As you've seen, the layout with the aft is generous and laid out well for a couple or small . The table can fit 4 adults, but it's a little tight. There's plenty of light in the cabin during the day and the layout of the 12V system provides excellent illumination at night. The ventilation is adequate but you may want to supplement it with some 12V fans on very hot days. Be sure to check the condition of the opening port lights and surrounding areas for evidence of any . Sleeping in the fwd v-berth is comfortable for two (I'm 6'2") and the quarter berth is a great spot for 1 or 2. I think the settees are too shallow to be used as bunks. is good for a boat this size, but check all the drawers and cabinets to ensure the latch mechanism is working properly. The works out well for us, but the is overkill for how we use the boat. Some were made with just a 2 burner top - that would be my preference if given the choice. Water/food/fuel/waste capacity has never been an issue for us, but we typically day sail or take weekend trips with her around Boston and the North Shore. The bank is sufficient for our needs, but we don't put a heavy demand on it either (radio, lights, water pressure, instruments). While overall it's a well built boat, time does take it's toll. In addition to what you'd look for on any boat that was 25 years old, here are some other items that we observed on several of the 28-2s we looked at. toe rail Starboard - Aft. Pretty common, maybe half of the boats had this and may be a result of the slight stbd list. - this had been rebuilt on a few of the boats we looked at and would be considered a normal item after 25 years. stand - we saw evidence of this on many of the boats we looked at. area. They're nice boats and people tend to like the layout when they come aboard. I hope it works out for you and your .

Boat: Cal 28 "Happy Days"	.... I’ve been sailing one for 20 years! Great boat (mine’s an ’86 as well) Jake’s stuff above is spot-on. We’ve added a few creature comforts along the way and have about a 5 day-at-sea endurance.... then the cold runs out, so we come to shore! The only improvement left to be done on ours is refrigerating the ice box. If you have any questions, just PM George

Boat: 16 foot daysailer....named Jolly Mon	owner. It was great. She handled great and we had a good time. I loved it. It needs a few things done to it, but what 1986 boat doesn't? I will keep you posted on our progress. We are looking at one more boat(and IP 27) this weekend and then will make our decision. At this pace, the season will be over before we get her in the water. Thanks again Alice NH

Boat: Cal, 28-II	all the way to 3400 in , I think I'm "under wheeled". I had the prop tuned this , but they either didn't add enough , or the prop is just to small. Would any of you know what size prop you use and how high you can rev to get to a given speed. From what ive gathered, 2500 or so is the right speed to run her at. I have A michigan 13rh10. I intend to the other Cal 28 owners in here in Milford CT too. Must be 7 or 8 in our harbor. Thanks.

Boat: Cal, 28-II	, laid up slightly early for the last season. When Sandy hit the North-East, we had some very high storm surge. It was so high, that boats in our marina floated off their stands. Unfortunately, a rather large one ran into the line of sailboats. Nauti-Dog was knocked off her stands, and had a fallen sailboat on both sides of her beating her up. Bent the stock, small crack in the port topsides, wiped out the stanchions, squished a few turning blocks, and wreaked a few other odds and ends.. The worst part of it was having to recreate the entire starboard side toe rail. Finding a large enough piece of teak to do the job was tough, and expensive! Ended up having to buy a 2"x8"x17' piece to do the job. Anyhow, after a solid two months of weekends, a pile of , and a few days, she's back in the water, shiny, and sailing beautifully. Just came back from a full week on the water.. So, after all that, I never got to the prop. The Cal 28-II has a lead keel, which took a slight bit of damage while she was lying in the gravel, but that was the easiest part of the whole job.. Enjoy the season.. Nauti-Dog

	now, would you prefer an '88/'89 model over an '86/'87 model as being measurably better constructed or appointed, in one or more ways, by the mfgr? I'm aware, e.g., that the later models were fitted with 18HP Yanmars rather than 13.5HP Westerbekes, which presumably move the boat more masterfully through chop, etc. 2. Can you provide your most up-to-date list of issues to look for when examining used boats ? 3. Can you provide your most up-to-date list of asking/sold prices for these boats from soldboats.com? If you'd be open to chat about any or all of this, or would like an e-address to pass any of the above along, pls let me know and I'll provide direct contact information to you. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me! SeaBreather

Boat: Cal, 28-II	company after Sandy, with check in hand, I found myself looking for another Cal 28-II. As luck would have it, I was able to purchase her back from the company and put her back in shape. Jake Tanley's post from 08-08-2011, 13:58 is a great description. Mine is an 86'. As noted by some, the may be preferable as the is fairly loud. Loud, but VERY reliable and easy to on. I'm satisfied with it, but if I was looking, given my druthers, I'd go . The only issues I've had, aside from the hurricane damage, were: 1. A somewhat wet . Very common on most boats of that vintage. with a brand new rudder from Foss in , courtesy of the insurance company. I probably wouldnt have replaced the old one if I didnt have to. The new one is from a Shock 30/30 . Perfect fit, and better performance. 2. A fair amount of crazing. This bugs the heck out of me. Not something that can really be fixed, so I live with it. 3. Too much teak. every summer and she's roomy enough for that, and has enough storage and water and capacity. I added new , an , and a which make life more bearable, and gauge to keep track of the level. That's a story I won't get into! Great boat. Should be able to find a nice one for $15-$17K...

Boat: Cal, 28-II	from the around the rudder post. It's tough to seal a joint between and the post, and over time, many absorb water. You can often see it trying to find its way out when the boat is , dripping through small cracks or holes. Many try to make a simple patch , but if the foam inside is wet, it'll likely re-appear. I had pretty good luck fixing mine before the hurricane wiped it out and I had to replace the whole thing. I drilled some holes at the bottom of the rudder and let it drain all winter. In the spring, I stripped the rudder down to clean gelcoat. Then I ground out a few spots where there were water was weeping out, and also a couple of spots where I could tell it was delaminated, or worse, bulging from water having froze and expanded. After drying it out as much as possible, I then built up the ground out areas using layers of glass and , and then sealed the rudder with a barrier coat; and sealed the rudder post with 5200. It stayed nice and dry for a couple of years until the storm. I was able to prove my repair was a good one, because after the storm, I removed the old rudder the easy way, with a reciprocating saw! I cut it in half and was able to inspect the foam and the stainless, and it was all in quite good shape (except for the bent post from the storm). Anyhow, if you walk through any boatyard in the spring and look at a host of rudders, I bet you'll see many weeping water from somewhere. Don't let a small spot or two bother you too much, just plan to repair it. If one looks really bad, it can still be rebuilt, or at worst case replaced with a new one. "wet rudder repair" for lots of info... Happy sailing.

Cal 28, Worth the Price?

Add to quote

Okay.. I am thinking about purchaseing this CAL 28. He wants 19500 for it. Facts: Year: 1987 CAL 28 Sails and Rigging Mainsail 150% roller furling Genoa Cruising spinnaker Tapered anodized deck stepped mast Double spreaders Jiffy mainsail reefing system SS wire standing rigging Electronics and Nav DataMarine LX50 Speed, Distance compass Standard Horizon Intrepid VHF radio w/masthead antenna Autopilot CDX-MP40 CD changer with XM, Mp3 Mechanical Westerbeke 13.5 HP fresh water cooled diesel (1100 hours) Engine panel and controls in cockpit Edson manual wheel steering w/32" wheel Manual marine head w/holding tank Deck fitting for waste discharge Manual and electric bilge pumps Electrical 110V & 12V DC ship's service Master AC and DC electrical panel 2 marine batteries w/selector switch So lets assume this boat is in Pristine Condition.. I still think 19500 is still way too high. The guy says he is firm on the price.. But if he doesnt want to move then I am going to pass on. I mean it is a nice boat and in great condition but I think he is too high...Plus it is a buyers market, not a sellers market. Link: 1987 CAL Sloop Sail Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com Anyone else care to comment? Thanks for your opinion! Steve

Thanks.. that is funny about the wraps.. Maybe I should do that. Thanks again Steve

Find boat you like
Examine boat you like
Make offer and HAVE IT ACCEPTED
Survey boat
Get survey results and either close on boat, walk away from boat, or make changes and then close

THe Cal 28 is a nice racer/cruiser and I would consider that price a reasonable asking price for one in good condition...you can only find out how firm the price actually is by making an offer. Tanley bought one of these in 2009 and he seems to have been happy as a clam since, you might try PMing him to discuss Cal 28 values.

If the pictures represent the boats current condition it looks very well kept

2 sails - main and a 150% genny only. Forget the spinnaker.
The motor has 1100 hours on. While not excessive, it is a little on the higher side for a sailboat of this age. My boat is sailed 40 to 50 times a year and I have <700 h on my motor that was installed in 1992.
Electronics are somewhat limited. I didn't see a wind speed/direction instrument or a GPS/Chartplotter.

The Cal 28 is a nice boat. There are two in my club. I own the larger brother of the 28 - the 33-2. Above average construction, very nice layout, and a good sailing boat. Asking price seems to consistent with others listed. I would guess mid-teens is about right for the selling price assuming the survey shows no major issues.

Given that $19,900 is the asking price, it's not really out of line. If you are really interested, make an offer 15-20% lower and start haggling (if you start any lower, he'll probably just blow you off). If the boat hasn't been on the market long, don't expect to reach a deal for less than 10% below the asking price. And like everyone else has said, get a survey. On a 25-year-old boat there will almost certainly be something you can use to get the price down a little more. But, don't get too greedy... since the owner is going through a broker, you're not gonna get a fantastic deal. A good deal, maybe...but not a fantastic one.

Do yourself a favor and go look at it. Take lots of pictures and go over them when you get home. The more you see, the better you'll get at evaluating boats and your preferences. Over the past few years, I've seen the Cal 28-2 sell for $5K more and $5K less than what this guy is asking. This one's been on the market for several months. There was another Cal 28-2 in Florida that was listed around the same time as this one. It is no longer listed on YW so I assume it sold. I'd expect that buyer looked at both. PM me if you want to discuss consistent issues I saw with the Cal 28-2 during our search. I can also fwd a list of asking/sold prices from soldboats.com (not to imply those numbers are necessarily accurate).

If I understand correctly, you haven't even looked at the boat yet? I guess it's always good to see what knowledgeable folks (which pushes me near the side) think about the $$, but my first thought was "Go look at it and see what you've got!" Condition and upkeep are everything with a boat that age, and there can be a huge swing depending on it. Also, nicely kept boats are not the norm. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable asking price if it's in good shape. And I don't see anything wrong with those engine hours for a well maintained diesel. Better it was used over those 20-some years than just sitting there.

"Plus it is a buyers market, not a sellers market." I keep hearing that said, but see no evidence for it. As we all know, the ratio of rubbish to good for older boats is quite high. The really nice, well looked after boats that have realistic asking prices are selling fast around here, while the poorer and unrealistically priced ones are hanging around. Perfectly normal market, in other words.

Agree In the yard that I stored my boat over the winter, I know of at least 3 boats that were sold. All looked to be in very good shape. DrB

Thank you Hi Everyone, I wanted to say thank you for all of the input. Yes I agree 100% that I need to go see the boat and look at it. But I wanted to just get a generalized feel from all of you about it first. I agree the price of the boat in terms of being overpriced/underpriced/priced correctly has subjectivity tied into it. Personally, I am in absolute no rush and I havent even seen it so I am not attached at all. I am trying to be very objective about it (and obviously will need to go and see it). I really like the idea of going to take tons of pictures of it as well and then reviewing them at home and letting it melt in for a few days before I start to lean one way or the other. Again, Thanks for all of the information/Advice. Sincerely, Steve Jax FL

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

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

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

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.

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 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.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

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.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
LWL: Waterline length in feet

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.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
LOA: Length overall in feet
Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

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.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
