Bill Lapworth has designed into the CAL 21 the same characteristics that have enabled CAL boats to win more races than any other production fiberglass boats in the world. Jensen Marine builds every CAL 21 to the same rigid specifications as the other incredibly successful CAL boats. The large proportion of woven roving in the hull layup assures great impact resistance and strength. With a large crew aboard the seats convert easily into two berths for sleeping under the stars. Auxiliary power in the form of a small outboard mounted on the special transom bracket will push the CAL 21 along at 5 knots.
All berths are durable vinyl covered foam rubber for comfort and long life.
Counter tops and all interior trim is hand finished, natural grain mahogany. Unusually good ventilation is provided for the interior by the two large fiberglass sliding hatches, and the two large, fixed aluminum-frame windows brighten the cabin with natural light. The CAL 21 was designed for mobility and can be trailed as easily as an outboard. The special retractable keel is designed so that it is completely recessed within the hull for trailering. It remains locked in this position until the boat is launched at which time it is simply lowered to the sailing position by means of a special winch.
