possibly a new boat
I'm looking at a mid-1960s Jensen Cal 28. Seems to be in great
shape. Inboard diesel (one cylinder seems to be quiet and doesn't
smoke with minimal vibration - for a one-banger), two jibs, main
in good shape, standard electronics (nothing fancy), interior is
newly painted, hull appears clean, standing rigging looks fine. Comes
with a spinaker and pole, anchor (not chrome unfortunately), has a
2-burner propane stove, teak inside seems to be in decent shape,
mostly. It's a flat top (no raised cabin).
Two deficits that I can see... it has an illegal head, so that has to get
changed... it has a self-tacking jib mechanism. Looks ugly, can't
imagine why I would want it set up like that.
I can get it for $6K and they'll split the haulout and survey with me.
They were asking $9K.
I'm going to do a sea trial hopefully soon.
