The search results provide excellent information for the Cal 20, including its designer, production details, handling characteristics, and interior. I also found several owner forums and reviews that can contribute to the "Owner's Perspectives" section.
Here's a summary of key findings from the search:
- Designer: C. William "Bill" Lapworth.
- Production: 1961-1975, with 1,945 built. Jensen Marine produced as many as one boat a day during the 60s. Calgan Marine also produced licensed Cal 20s in Canada.
- Designer Philosophy: Lapworth had a significant impact on fiberglass sailboat design. The Cal 20 was designed for an active, simple, inexpensive one-design class that wouldn't be quickly outdated. It's considered one of the best ever.
- Performance: Legendary for being fast (for a 20-footer), indestructible, and able to sail in pretty much any weather. Easy to sail and can handle rougher conditions. Praised as a small, sea-kindly pocket cruiser. Very good day sailor due to its large cockpit. Sails best with one or two degrees aft mast rake. Primarily used for one-design racing but also as racer/cruisers.
- Accommodations: How accommodations are judged depends on what one is used to cruising aboard. Described as having "built-in" accommodation with forethought and careful planning. It has some space below. A large, nearly 8-foot-long, self-bailing cockpit makes it a good day sailor.
- Owner's Perspectives: Owners consistently praise its legendary status, speed (for its size), indestructibility, and ability to handle various weather conditions. It's considered an easy-to-sail boat that can manage rougher seas. Many appreciate it as a sea-kindly pocket cruiser. The large cockpit is a major plus for day sailing.
