Cal 25
The Cal 25 is one of the most popular and successful Cals ever built. Over 2000 hulls were constructed, and although they were designed over 40 years ago, they remain one of the most popular one-design racing yachts throughout the U.S. with fleets in Detroit, MI; Port Huron, MI; Annapolis, MD; New Orleans, LA; Los Angeles Areas, San Diego, CA and more. They are also one of the first boats to be designed as Racer/Cruisers which have both a cruising interior, but are set up for racing. They are also quite affordable, and relatively inexpensive to maintain. A well equipped racing Cal 25 can be had for around $4000. Problem areas include the plywood cored deck, and transom. But the hull is solid glass and rarely has any problems. SoCal PHRF has over 20 registered as racing in 2011, plus an active one-design fleet in Long Beach, CA.
