Cal 34 Galesville,
Any other owners (or want-to-be's) interested in starting a CAL 34 group? Could prove interesting for sharing ideas.
We have owned KILLICK, our 1970 CAL 34, for 23 years. Over this period we have remodeled/updated virtually everything...

Looks like enough for a group to me.. I guess I'll start with a big one ; Does anyone have a drawing or diagram of the steel beam under the mast comp. post The beam on mine seems to be in OK shape, but thats just by feel and looking with a flashlight and mirror. But Im still unsure If the 34's had a steel cradle welded to match the curve of the bildge, if so i guess mine's gone.... Also I'm planning on building a bridgedeck and larger scuppers.. thanks in advance, Aron

I would be interested in joing a Blog about Cal Salboats. I am the owner of a 1969 34 foot Cal. My wife and I are working on improving a great vessal for cruising after retirement.

Let me know when you are ready.

Anyone on this forum have a pix of the Cal 25-34 logo? I need one to recreate the image of a Cal 25 we owned many years ago.
Thanks

Is it too late to join? I have a 1979 Cal 34 Mark III. Most interesting project was rebuilding a badly blistered hull with vinylester.

John! Where are you?

Hi John,
Did you start a Cal 34 group?
BTW, I moved Breakaway from Leatherbury Point off the West River to the Cambridge Municipal Yacht Basin on the Choptank this year. And I quit work so now I have more time to sail!

No. I thought someone else might have. I have very little experience with this sort of thing. I do, however, have a lot of experience I could share about repairis/mods to my '79 Cal 34. Some good and some not so good. Also, I have surgery scheduled for May 5 and will not be checking back in for a week or so after May 4. By the way, I keep my boat in Hampton and generally sail between here and Solomon's on east and west sides. Let me know if you find more about a Cal 34 group.

Has anyone switched from wire/rope to all rope jib halyards? If so what did you use?

I switched my main halyard to sta-set and my jib halyard with sta-set x on my '79 Cal 34 over 10 years ago and have not had any problems. I would use the sta-set x because of the lower stretch. However, I am strictly a cruiser and I am sure racers will have a totally different opinion. Good luck.

I too would love to participate in an active Cal 34 group. I am in the middle of bringing my 1968 Cal 34 down to Jacksonville, FL from Washington, NC. Have done a ton of upgrades since buying Skylark last year. Lets see if we can make this happen. I have a blog if you want to check out the upgrades and adventured so far.

OK, I went ahead and set up a Cal 34 group for us. Click on the link and lets start sharing! Jim

Hi Sharon,
Sorry for taking so long. Both my wife Nancy and I have had some health challenges. Nancy has developed some blood clots which the Dr's are trying to control. I've had a trach for the past year. Seems simple throat surgery was not so simple.
Just sold our house...going to miss living on the water and Shady Side. Moving to Bradenton Fl. KILLICK will stay on the hard in Deale till our health issues get resolved. You can contcat me at jjsberens@aol.com
Cambridge Yacht Basin sounds great. Do you like it? My wife loves Cambridge.

Take care
John

there is a Cal group on Yahoo that I have belong to for over 10 years.... Were many people that worked with and knew Bill Lapworth. Lots of information there indeed. Got me through my restoration of my 1978 Cal 34 III.
