Cal 39 (Hunt/O'Day)
Description
The Cal 39 (Hunt/O'Day) is a modern American racer-cruiser designed by C. Raymond Hunt and Associates, introduced in 1988 as a performance-oriented evolution distinct from earlier Lapworth-designed Cal 39 models (Mk I–III from the 1970s–80s). Built primarily by O'Day Corp. (under the Bangor Punta conglomerate) until 1997, with about 50–60 hulls produced, it features sleek lines, a reverse transom with swim platform, and a tall masthead sloop rig for balanced speed and comfort. In 2001, George Crowell of Little Compton, Rhode Island, acquired the molds for limited custom builds. It's praised for its European-inspired styling, responsive handling, and spacious layout, making it ideal for coastal cruising or club racing (PHRF ~120–135).
