Cal 39 Mark II
The Cal 39 Mark II and Cal 39 Mark III are a series of American sailboats that were designed by C. William Lapworth as racer-cruisers to fit the International Offshore Rule and first built in 1978.
The Cal 39 Mark II replaced the Cal 39 in the company product line and was in turn replaced by the derivative variant Cal 39 Mark III in 1983. The Mark III design was than replaced by the clean sheet Cal 39 (Hunt/O'Day) design in 1988.
The designs were built by Jensen Marine/Cal Yachts in the United States, which was owned by Bangor Punta at that time. About 150 were completed between 1978 and 1986, but the boat is now out of production.
The factory brochure for the boat describes the Mark II design goals as, "A Cruiser Built For Speed, Not Rating Points".
The Cal 39 Mark II and Mark III are recreational keelboats, built predominantly of fiberglass, with balsa-cored decks and wooden trim. They both have raked stems, slightly raised counter reverse transoms, spade-type rudders, controlled by a wheels and fixed fin keels. The spars are of painted aluminum.
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people. There is a bow cabin with a double "V"-berth, an aft double cabin on the port side and two settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located to the starboard side, at the foot of the companionway steps and includes a three-burner, alcohol-fired stove and an oven, as well as an 8 cu ft (0.23 m3) icebox. The main cabin has a folding dining table. There is a head on the port side, aft of the bow cabin and a second one was factory option, in place of the navigation table, aft on the port side. Pressurized hot and cold water is provided.
Ventilation and light includes eight opening ports along with the four fixed ones, deadlights over the head and passageway and a dorade vent over the galley, plus two translucent hatches, over the bow cabin and the main cabin.
The T-shaped cockpit has a winch for the mainsheet, two winches for the halyards and two genoa winches. The halyards and outhaul are mounted internally. The mainsheet traveler has a 5:1 mechanical advantage. There are also jib tracks and an anchor locker in the bow.
