The Cal T/4 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by C. William Lapworth as an International Offshore Rule Quarter Ton class racer and first built in 1971.[1][2][3]
Production
The design was built by Cal Yachts, a brand of Jensen Marine in the United States. It was produced from 1971 to 1972 with 238 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
The Cal T/4 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces Шаблон:Convert and carries Шаблон:Convert of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the standard keel and is normally fitted with a small Шаблон:Convert outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. Cabin headroom is Шаблон:Convert, but the cockpit has Шаблон:Convert of headroom under the boom.[1][3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 234 and a hull speed of Шаблон:Convert.[3]
Operational history
The design was raced on some Quarter on Class races in the 1970s and 1980, but was not noted as winning any of the larger competitions.[3]
The boat is supported by an active racing club that organizes racing events, the Quarter Ton Class.[5]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "the boat was named the T/4 for her builder’s intent that she do well in Quarter Ton racing. (We think she did fairly well in the few official Quarter Ton races staged in the 1970s and 1980s, but fell short of producing headlines.) Best features: With 4-foot deep fin keel, spade rudder, and 50 percent ballast to displacement ratio, she could run rings around the comp[etitor]s ... She has been described as an E-type Jag: robust, quick, agile, and fun. The high-aspect main is rigged far enough above the deck to give standing, headroom for tall people standing up in the cockpit (more than 6'6" clearance over the cockpit sole). Worst features: Compared with her comp[etitor]s, she has less headroom below, a lower Space Index, and perhaps lower directional stability (because of her relatively high aspect ratio keel)."[3]
