After the long run of Cal sailboats that were designed by Bill Lapworth came these "Calmeter Editions". This 9.2 meter yacht was intended to be a high performance series (I'm sure it is). The hull of this 9.2 meter was derived from one of Holland's famous "Half Ton" racing yachts. This design was manufactured for 4 years, from 1981 until 1984. The design was very light in displacement and came with one of two keels, deep and deeper! The reversed transom was triangular in shape, very racey looking...

This line drawing was scanned it from a very small photo. It does give a good idea about the boat's lines.

Editor's note: This is a light boat. I wonder how well the hulls held up? For Example, a Catalina 30 displaces 10,300 pounds and is about the same size as this boat. This 30 footer is over 3000 pounds lighter! The Catalina 30, however, is built like a truck. On the other hand, a San Juan 33 only weighs 6000 pounds. A Tartan 10 (33 ft.) weighs only 6700. I would, however, appreciate coments from owners of this Cal 9.2. Thanks, dd
