Cal 21
The Cal 21 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by C. William Lapworth as a cruiser and first built in 1969.
The design was built by Jensen Marine/Cal Yachts, a division of Bangor Punta Corp. in the United States. Production ran from 1969 to 1976, with 500 boats completed, but it is now out of production.
The Cal 21 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig; a raked stem; a reverse transom; a transom-hung mahogany, non-folding rudder, controlled by a tiller and a swing keel. It displaces 1,100 lb (499 kg) and carries 360 lb (163 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 4.30 ft (1.31 m) with the keel extended and 10 in (25 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
The swing keel is lowered from a slot in the hull, which is then plugged with a cover that sealed the opening to reduce drag. The cable to raise the keel had to be reattached to lower or raise the keel.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two quarter berths in the main cabin. The head is located under the "V"-berth in the bow cabin on the starboard side. Cabin headroom is 49 in (120 cm).
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 258 and a hull speed of 5.5 kn (10.2 km/h).
