( Costa Mesa, Calif. ) . Al Naine of Vancouver, British Columbia, also builds 

 the 20. Both boats are constructed of fiber glass. Although the first C 20 

 was launched early in 1961, there are already fleets at San Diego, Newport 

 Harbor, San Francisco, and on Alamitos Bay. The C 24s are also chiefly 

 in California. Both classes are quafified for ocean racing under Midget 

 Ocean Racing Club rules. The 20 has two 6'6" berths, and optional equip- 

 ment includes an extra berth forward and a toilet. The 24, of course, being 

 4 feet longer, has more ample cruising accommodations. Both have out- 

 board wells. The C 20 is a keelboat, the C 24 has a combined keel and 

 centerboard. 



Don Stein (279 Church Lane, Los Angeles, Calif.) is Secretary of the 

 C 20 Association. Peter Ebeling (3424 Centinella Ave., Apt. 7, Los Angeles 

 66, Calif.) handles the affairs of the C 24s. Prices are as follows: C 20 $3445 

 (no kit); C 24 $6200 (kits $3450).

CAP VERT 



Designed for ocean cruising by Jean- Jacques Herbulot, the 26-foot cutter 

 Cap Vert is imported from France by the Nautica Corporation (P. O. Box 26, 

 Paramus, N.J. ). Hulls are molded mahogany, or fiber glass with built-in 

 flotation. A single-cabin model has berths for four, while the double-cabin 

 model will take care of five. Each boat has a galley, a head, and an out- 

 board well which will carry motors of from 5 to 10 horsepower. The boats 

 have a reverse sheer and very little overhang. They have a combination 

 keel and centerboard. 



Like the other classes imported by Nautica, the sailing area of the Cap 

 Verts includes particularly the English Channel, the Mediterranean, the 

 East and West coasts of the United States, and the Gulf of Mexico. Alto- 

 gether, about 150 have been built to date. Association functions are han- 

 dled by Nautica. Price is $6995 up for single-cabin boats. 



VITAL statistics: L.O.A. 26'3"; waterline 24'; beam 8'; draft 

 without centerboard I'^V-z', with C.B. 4'/'; sail area (main, jib, and fore- 

 staysail) is 318 sq. ft.; displacement 4000 lbs.; power, 5- to 10-h.p. out-
