History
Nairne saw a Cal 20 sailboat, built by Cal Yachts, while on a visit to California and convinced Jack Jensen of Jensen Marine to allow him to produce the boats under licence in Canada. The first design produced was the Cal 20, introduced in 1961.[1]
During its 17 years in business, Calgan produced 300 examples of Cal Yachts designs. The company also developed its own designs, including the Crown 28, based on the Cal 2-27.[1][2]
