The Cal 39 Mk III represents the final evolution of C. William Lapworth’s 39-foot hull series, a design lineage that sought to balance the pedigree of the legendary Cal 40 with the increasing demand for offshore comfort and cruising amenities. Introduced in 1983 and produced through 1986, the Mark III was built at the Fall River, Massachusetts, facility after Jensen Marine moved operations from California. This iteration differs from its predecessors—the 1970 Mark I and the 1978 Mark II—by offering a more refined interior layout and a heavier displacement of approximately 19,000 pounds, reflecting a shift toward a robust, blue-water capable platform rather than a pure IOR-influenced racer.
