Hi there, I'm the proud new owner of a 1969 CAL 24 that is moored in Shelton, WA and I am clear on the other side of the state. I'm eager to go and collect my new boat at the end of the month (March, 2009) but need a trailer to get it. I also need to know the details on the keel size and layout, so anyone with information about this, leads, friends that might have an idea, or anything would be great. Thanks! Gabriel

gabriel, you get around! you might try over on trailer sailor dot com as well. they have many active forums. too bad you're not in texas. there are about a dozen available within easy driving distance of me (towards central texas) from about $500 needing tires to about $2k+ in perfect shape. jack b :-)

You're killing me. I've called over 60 marinas, boat yards and trailer dealers now with no luck. I'm also still trying to figure out just what kind of CAL I've got as it has the flush deck and bolt on bulbous keel of the CAL 2-24 but not the 15/16th's rigging set-up. I got a schematic that covered the CAL 24 from 1959-1974, but it doesn't look like what I've got. And I've got no idea just what the underside of the boat really looks like yet and won't until I've got it up on the hoist and by golly, I better have something that fits it by then! ;-) Know anyone headed to Washington from Texas in the next couple of weeks? Gabriel (aka Mr. Rickey Point)
