The introduction of the Cal 35 in 1979 represented a significant pivot for Jensen Marine. While the brand had built its legendary reputation on the collaboration between Jack Jensen and naval architect C. William "Bill" Lapworth, the Cal 35 saw the manufacturer enlist the talents of Ron Holland. This shift signaled an era of "modern" Cal boats, blending Holland’s successful IOR racing pedigree with the robust, cruiserfriendly requirements of the North American market. Produced until approximately 1984 under the Bangor Punta ownership, the Cal 35 was designed to offer more interior volume and stiffer sailing characteristics than its predecessors. It sits in a lineage of Ron Hollanddesigned Cals that include the smaller Cal 31 and the larger, highly regarded Cal 39, which shared much of the same aesthetic and construction philosophy.
