The Calgan 23, frequently referred to in Pacific Northwest sailing circles as the Crown 23, represents a pivotal moment in Canadian boatbuilding when local manufacturers began transitioning from licensed production to proprietary design. Developed and built by Calgan Marine Ltd. in North Vancouver, British Columbia, during the 1970s, the vessel was the brainchild of company founder Al Nairne. While Nairne had established his firm’s reputation by building C. William Lapworth’s famed "Cal" designs under license, the 23 was a local evolution of the Cal 24-2 hull. By refining the lines and deck layout, Calgan Marine created a robust, fiberglass pocket cruiser specifically optimized for the light-to-moderate winds and the short, steep chop typical of the Salish Sea.
