Cool Passion & Burning Desire
Designed by C. William “Bill” Lapworth, this stout 25 ft keelboat is comfortable below deck and fun to sail. The Cal-2 25' performs well in light winds, due to its tall rig, large sail area, flat bottom and balanced keel. Roomy below deck, ruggedly constructed, and fun to helm, the Cal-2 25' sails like a bigger boat, making it an ideal choice for daysailing or coastal cruising with a small family.
