Seattle, WA
US $75,000
Description
This Cal 38 Mk III is the rare later version with an aft cabin and metal toe or snach rail, Lapworth design, built in Tampa, FL. William “Bill” Lapworth was perhaps the foremost West Coast Naval Architect in the post World War II period. He designed many light displacement fiberglass race boats and is most famous for the big Cal 20 fleet and the Cal 40, the celebrated radical, ultra-light design of it’s day. Designed 20 years later, the Cal 39 MK III with a narrow entry and fine stern is an effecient fast cruiser, with a slighty faster design hull speed than the classic Cal 40!

Interior is classic design: stairs down over engine-compartment, U-shaped galley to starboard with sink nearly on-centerline, refrigerated compartment in aft counter, newer Princess 2-burner LPG stove with oven, Technautic cold-plate refrigeration in top-opening compartment. Port-side, aft of nav-table is a separate stateroom with vanity sink and hanging-locker, a feature of the Mark III layout.. L-shaped settee to starboard ahead of the galley, and straight settee to port. Complete with teak lockers and shelves hullside, including one cabinet with leaded-glass doors.
