Cal 3-24
The Cal 24, also called the Cal 24-3 and the Cal 3-24 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1983.
The boat was an entirely new design to replace the C. William Lapworth-designed Cal 2-24 in the Cal Yachts product line.
The design was officially marketed by the manufacturer as the Cal 24, but is now often referred to as the Cal 3-24, Cal 24-3 or the Cal 24 (Hunt), to differentiate it from the unrelated 1958 Lapworth-designed Cal 24 and 1967 Cal 2-24. At the time of their market introduction each of these designs was sold under the designation of Cal 24.
The design was built by Cal Yachts in the United States, a brand of Jensen Marine, which was owned by Bangor Punta. The design was built from 1983 to 1985, but it is now out of production.
The design goals for the boat were an off-shore, blue water boat that could be legally ground-transported on a boat trailer.
The Cal 24 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a raked stem; a raised counter, slightly reverse transom; a spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or shoal draft keel. It displaces 3,300 lb (1,497 kg) and carries 1,175 lb (533 kg) of lead ballast. The shoal draft keel model carries 1,400 lb (635 kg) of lead ballast.
The boat has a draft of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the standard keel and 3.33 ft (1.01 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. A Yanmar 7.5 HP diesel with a 12 U.S. gallons (45 L; 10.0 imp gal) fuel tank was an option. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 15 U.S. gallons (57 L; 12 imp gal).
