Does anyone know the specs for keel on a cal t2 ? I believe this is the same as a cal 27. Anyhow , I'm building a trailer and I just need to know how tall the keel itself is so that I can fabricate my roller height. I bought the boat this year and it hasn't been outve the water yet. I would swim down however the boat is in the ohio currently and the water there isn't very pleasant . Any help would be much appreciated

Welcome to SBO…
The Cal T2 and the Cal 27 used the same hull.
sailboatdata.com
The data on these boats shows that the draft is 4.5 ft.
This would be the distance from the water line to the bottom of the keel.
Short of diving on the boat or lifting the boat out of the water and measuring, I suspect you are in a guessing world. You might search to see if you can find a boat in your area to measure the heights on the trailer. You might decide to make the trailer hardware adjustable i.e. the bunks that brace the bottom.

The first in a series of 3 Cal 27s, all by Lapworth, but different designs. (The later versions are generally referred to as CAL 2-27, and CAL 3-27.) An IOR 1/2 ton version was called the CAL T/2. TALL RIG: I: 37.5′ J: 12.0′ P: 30.5′ E: 10.5′
