The Cal 246 represents a significant departure from the racing pedigree that defined Jensen Marine’s early years. While the company built its reputation on the blistering performance of the Cal 40, the Cal 246 was conceived as a "sailing machine" for the longrange cruiser who prioritized livability and mechanical reliability over podium finishes. Introduced in the early 1970s, this Bill Lapworth design challenged the contemporary definition of a motorsailer by providing a hull that could actually perform under sail, rather than merely acting as a powered barge with a token rig. It remains one of the most respected centercockpit cruisers of its era, often cited for its ruggedness and "shorthandedfriendly" deck layout.
