The Cal 39 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of Jensen Marine, transitioning from the raw, racing-bred aggression of the legendary Cal 40 toward a more refined, performance-oriented cruising ethos. Designed by C. William "Bill" Lapworth, the Cal 39 was produced in several distinct iterations between 1970 and the late 1980s. While the early 1970s models shared DNA with the flat-bottomed racers of that era, the later Mark II and Mark III versions—produced after the company’s acquisition by Bangor Punta—refined the hull shape to provide a more forgiving ride in offshore conditions without sacrificing the speed for which the brand was famous. This model is often cited as a premier example of the "racer-cruiser" category, balancing a high ballast ratio with a hull that remains nimble enough for club racing.
