Description: |
For sale is a 1974 Cal 20. I purchased this boat as a project a few years back and have put a lot of work into refitting it. Since I started, however, I got married and decided to buy a larger boat, suitable for two people to live aboard. Cal 20s are sturdy and inexpensive boats that can be fitted as bluewater cruisers, with some modified expectations. That was my aim. The rebuild is approximately 80% finished. Nothing that remains to be done requires expensive materials or more than basic knowledge of how to work with paint and fiberglass.
