What was your reason for buying a Cal sailboat?
I'm just looking for some ideas on what it was that brought us all to buying a Cal. You know the designer, the lines, or the construction.
My first, a Cal 25 cheap enough for me to get on the water. It took alot of work to get her up to a safe sailing vessel. After that she was perfect for taking me into a different skill level. Now with my current Cal it was the shear lines that caught my first attraction. Then with the way she was built and taken care of I couldn't say no(after some negotiation on the price).
I would really like to hear your story and see some photos.

I friend found this boat in really bad shape, and I fell in love with the thick solid hull potential.
Now I'm fixing it (never end) and living onboard -
