40' Cal Cruiser

Cal 40's are classics, stable, fast, and still embarrassing some of those pricey newer boats. This Cal 40, s/v Moonday, has been owned by the same owner for 20 years, sailed locally, to Mexico, Hawaii & back to the PNW, and is waiting for a new owner. One of the best performing racer/cruisers, CAL 40s are comfortable, particulary in heavy air, and off the wind. She points as well as most modern fin keel designs with higher aspect rigs, yet she is balanced and easily sailed. A legendary racing yacht and member of the American Sailboat Hall of Fame, these boats were the talk of the town during production in the 60's, and they are still seen on many Hawaii races and out cruising. Someone asked Stan Honey why he's sailing on a CAL 40, and the answer was "No bad Habits"! With her Monitor windvane and comfortable cruising interior, s/v Moonday is a remarkable value. YES THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED! They CAN NOT be rebuilt! If you are looking for a good CAL 40 to outfit and sail offshore this is a good choice, but you have to be willing to do the work. . .
