The Cal 28-2, often referred to as the Cal 28 Mark II, represents a significant stylistic and philosophical shift in the lineage of Jensen Marine. Introduced in the mid-1980s during the brand's transition to Fall River, Massachusetts, this model was a departure from the classic Bill Lapworth designs that defined the 1960s and 70s. Instead, the company commissioned the renowned firm C. Raymond Hunt Associates to modernize the fleet. The result was a boat that prioritized interior volume and contemporary handling characteristics, aiming to compete with the burgeoning European "performance cruiser" market of the era. Built during the Bangor Punta and Lear Siegler ownership periods, the 28-2 was part of a refreshed lineup that included the Hunt-designed Cal 22, 24, 33, and 39.
