You know nothing about the Cal, obviously. It was designed for sailing

on the SF bay, and handles heavy air with out a problem. It's a
relatively dry boat for its size and has a very decent interior, with,
as I said room for three if necessary. Cals have crossed the Pacific
more than a few times.



I've sailed them... they suck and not one Cal 20 has crossed the Pacific. A
Nordica 20 though has crossed the North Atlantic. They are cheap and
worthless as the asking price shows!



Why the heck would I want the weight of an inboard engine on a 20 foot
boat???


WTF are you on about.... it's a 150 lb engine!! It's not like you're
frickin' car-topping you IDIOT!


That's crazy. I suppose the Nordica 20 has 6 foot headroom


You suppose wrong... then again that's no surprise.


also. New ones are wildly expensive... $15K,


You dipstick... they have been out of production since 1985 and average at
about 7K Cdn

whereas you can get a Cal

20 that is near perfect for under $2K.


Because it's a POS!!!

The Cal will kick your butt all

over the bay and back. You wouldn't stand a chance.


I just told you I beat Cal 20s all the time in a full keeler. Those Cal 20s
suck backwash. They are wet, sail poorly and are a poor choice for anything
but a day sail.



Like the Nordica has a modern one.... right, sure.


It's a full keel cut-away forefoot.... did you even go to the site I
indicated?


The Cal's keel was way a head of its time. And, it still performs
better than many newer boats.


What a load of desperate CRAP! It's dated, a slug and useless for anything
but short daysails in very protected waters. A MacGregor 19 is a better boat
than your crappy Cal 20


Ok. Now, it's time for you to make a personal attack....


You're GAY!!
