The Cal 229 represents a sophisticated evolution of the original Bill Lapworthdesigned Cal 29, a vessel that helped define the performancecruiser category in the late 1960s. Introduced in the mid1970s by Jensen Marine, the 229 (often referred to as the Cal 29 Mark II) retained the slippery, raceproven hull lines of its predecessor while introducing a completely redesigned deck mold and interior arrangement. This model was birthed during a transitional period for the builder, bridging the gap between the raw, spartan racers of the 1960s and the more comfortoriented coastal cruisers of the 1980s. With its signature Lapworth spade rudder and fin keel, the 229 remains a staple in the used market for sailors who demand a boat that can genuinely "sail its way out of trouble" while providing a functional platform for weekend coastal voyaging.
