We need pictures of typical hardware on our boats.
winches, vangs, travelers, spinnaker gear etc. Anything you can
contribute would be appreciated!
The Blocks
Here are some current versions of similar sized
blocks to the one used in the original main sheet rigging. These
are Ronstan blocks (www.Ronstan.com)
I choose them because they did supply Cal with OEM hardware and
they are reasonably priced compared to Harken and the other big
names.

Cam Cleats
Ronstan Medium size for 1/8
to 1/2 line
Goose Neck
Here is a picture of the boom to mast connection. This
picture is from Seal's
Spars and rigging in their Cal 20 parts section. The mast
and rigging of the 21 is almost identical to the 20 and these
parts should fit the 21.
Mast Head
Again from Seal's
Spars. The mast section is the same for the 20 and 21 so this
mast head should be also.
Mast
"Jensen" Section (also known as Famet Marine
FM-B)
This is the original mast section used on the Cal 20, 21 and 24,
and the Ranger 20. It is also the
original boom section used on the Cal T-4, 27, 2-27, 28, 29, 30,
and 2-30, and the Columbia 28.
Dimensions: 2 5/8" X 4"
Wall Thickness: .100
Weight: 1.33 lbs. / ft.
Here is the stern of Nodrog showing the position of
the rudder pintals, motor mount, backstay chainplate, and a few
additions. (Thank you Rod for the pictures)
Ultimate rigging setup!
Here are some pictures from Clay Runshe's "TropiCal"
showing a sail handling set up with all the bells and whistles.
This is typical of a modern setup for easier "from the cockpit"
control.
