Pretty boat

I've never sailed one, in fact I haven't sailed the Cal 29 I am restoring. But from tearing mine apart, I can say they are above average in construction and owners swear by them. They are often very undervalued when needing a little maintenance. There is a 34 on the hard near me and its beautiful, the lines are much more graceful than the shorter Cals. Personally, a 34 for 10K sounds outstanding, if a good survey. Ditto, check the Cal-list on Sailnet.
