The Cal 21, introduced in 1969, represents a significant departure from the heavy, fixed-keel designs that established Jensen Marine’s early reputation. Designed by the legendary C. William Lapworth, the Cal 21 was engineered specifically to meet the burgeoning demand for trailerable weekenders. Unlike its predecessor, the iconic Cal 20, the 21 features a fully retractable 360-pound weighted keel that allows the boat to be launched in shallow water and transported easily behind a standard family vehicle. This model was a centerpiece of the "Cal" identity during the Bangor Punta era, emphasizing accessibility without sacrificing the racing pedigree Lapworth was known for. Production ran through the early 1970s, during which time it carved out a niche as a high-performance alternative to more sluggish trailer-sailers of the era.
