Depnds on the boat. A Cal 20 is not all that light weight,
it could easily benefit from an inboard.

Actually, it has a well for an "inboard" outboard. Personally, I
didn't like it and closed it up. You have to slow the boat to almost
zero to pull the outboard out of the well without getting soaked. A
transom mount is much better.

I just told you I beat Cal 20s all the time in a full keeler.

A 30 footer? Possible. Probably not downwind though. They
will plane nicely.

Hmmm... never thought of that.

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


hmm, that's a bit of an exaggeration IMHO

This is Usenet!!

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, that's a LOT of an exaggeration. Was your mom scared by
a fin keel just before you were born, or something??

You should not, definitely not, bring Mooron's mom into the
conversation.

Ok. Now, it's time for you to make a personal attack....
You're GAY!!
Why don't you two get a room?

Sorry, but I prefer my privacy.

The Cal 20 is a nice boat, but it's not really trailerable
unless you have either a perfect ramp or a lift, and don't
mind setting up a more complex rig. And I'm sorry Mooron,
I've sailed in company with a Halman and there's no way in
heck one of those is going to keep up with a Cal 20.

The rig isn't really that complicated. Two stays per side, as the
third set don't need to be used. Even the guy I know who worked at the
Cal factory couldn't understand why they did that. The forward stays
just interfere with the jib.
