Right now, sailing on the SF bay. However, this is a big enough
and sturdy enough boat to deal with coastal Pacific weather, so
I'll probably end up taking it down or up the coast.. possibly do
the Baja Ha-Ha at some point.

The minimum size for the latter is 27'.

Why do you say "much more fun to sail"? I'm currently sailing
a 20' Cal, which *is* fun, but a bit small for the north bay.

What kind of sailing do you want to do? Mostly daysailing? I'd opt for a
smaller but newer design for the same money. A mid eighties 25 footer
would be
fine for a few weekends out once in a while and would be much more fun to
sail.

Didn't know where you were or what your plans were. Everytime I've been to SF
Bay everybody had 2 reefs in. I would imagine you could sail a full keeled
tank out there and it would be fun.

With a full keeled tank, I only need one reef. :-)

I'm looking at a mid-1960s Jensen Cal 28.

I can get it for $6K and they'll split the haulout and survey with me.
They were asking $9K.

You're going to pay $6k for a 40 year old boat? What do you use for
brains?

You know nothing about boats, so shut the **** up.

Jon,

I guess you know that, in its day, that wasa real speed burner. A lot of
racing fleets ( wooden racing boat) Wouldn't allow them to race (Fibre
Glass) They were excluded. They changed racing

That said, They are pretty long in the tooth. A thing to look for is
leakage on the joint of the flat top two the hull. This was done in the
early days. There was still a lot to learn about fibre glass. If my
memory serves me the seam was hidden under a rather wide trim check for
water damage.

They were good sailing boat. They are well past their time but still
fair sailors

It will be a big brother for your 20!

If you find water sign and point it out, I bet the price could be forced
lower

Ole Thom

Thanks Thom!

All I get from current owners is lots a praise. I don't know if I can
swing keeping both boats. She who must be obeyed may not go
for it. :-)
