The Cal 2-27, introduced in 1974, represents a refined evolution in the celebrated partnership between designer C. William Lapworth and Jensen Marine. While the original Cal 27 (often called the "Pop-top" or "Flush-deck" version) earned its reputation as a formidable Midget Ocean Racing Club (MORC) contender, the Cal 2-27 was reimagined to satisfy a growing market of coastal cruisers who demanded more interior volume and traditional aesthetics. By replacing the flush deck with a conventional trunk cabin, Lapworth transformed the boat from a spartan racer into a highly capable family cruiser without sacrificing the nimble performance characteristics that defined the Cal brand. Produced until approximately 1981, the 2-27 remains a staple of the "Classic Plastic" era, prized for its robust construction and balanced sailing manners.
