Two months ago our boat partnership purchased RAVEN, a 1970 Cal-29. The LOA is just over 29', waterline length is 24', beam is 9'3", displacement right around 8,000 lbs, and she sleeps six adults. We purchased the boat from our friends Brent and Heidi, who connected us with the partnership. We are looking forward to improving our keelboat sailing and cruising skills this spring and summer.
A short video clip of our first sail. It was pretty breezy (15-20, gusting to 25) so we sailed under partially furled jib only (plus we had not yet learned how the jiffy reefing system works!). This resulted in a fair bit of lee helm, but she sailed beautifully.
