Cal 3-24
Description
The Cal 24 built by Bangor Punta refers to the Cal 3-24 (also known as Cal 24-3 or Cal 24 (Hunt)), a trailerable racer-cruiser sailboat designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates and produced by Cal Yachts—a brand of Jensen Marine, owned by Bangor Punta Corporation—from 1983 to 1985. This model was developed as a replacement for the earlier C. William Lapworth-designed Cal 2-24 (1967–1970s), with the goal of creating a "true blue-water sailboat that could be legally trailerable without special permits." It features a more robust construction suited for offshore capabilities while remaining compact for coastal and short-distance cruising. Approximately 100–150 units were built during its short production run, making it rarer than earlier Cal 24 variants.
