Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterHi Alice. There was a Brazilian company, Mariner Construções Náuticas Ltd., that was licensed to build the Cal 9.2 in the 80’s. The 9.2 is a 30’ sailboat. Could that be the boat? Here is the 9.2 record on SBD: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/cal-92
And the page for the builder: https://sailboatdata.com/builder/mariner-construcoes-nauticas-ltd-bra
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterSorry, we do not have an owners manual. There is a Pearson Yachts Portal which also contains a forum. Have you reached out there? https://www.pearsonyachts.org/
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterThanks for the info Morgens. We’ve updated the record.
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterHi guys. The S# will only be seen on boat records which have rig dimensions. To find out more, click on “Definitions” in the upper right corner of the Sailboat Calculations box.
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterHi sa, information from the builder indicates a 20 gal fuel tank. Sorry to say placement is unclear although a drawing appears to indicate a tank just aft of the engine.

Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterHi budroberts9, For records where we have rig dimensions, click on the “help?” link in the upper right corner of the Rig and Sail Particulars box. An image will pop-up showing what each of these measurement letters stand for.
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterI do not know where your transducer is located but it’s pretty common for them to be through the hull at a point forward of the keel, thus below the waterline. The number you need to know is the distance from your transducer to the bottom of your keel. Depending on the age of your depth sounder, you should be able to calibrate it so you have a more accurate reading. Otherwise, you have to do the math.
If the distance from transducer to keel bottom is 3 feet, and you were showing a depth of 3.5 feet, you had .5 feet clearance. (Assuming you do not have a shallow draft keel. Draft for those is reported as 3.33’.)
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterThis is a good site to find owner’s manuals. The 27 MkIII can be found here… https://www.manualslib.com/products/Cal-Boats-Cal-27-Mk-Iii-8783013.html
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterThanks. We’ve added this to the record.

Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterHello Jay, We could use a nice photo of a King Shark to add to our record (https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/king-shark-20). Do you have a side view shot you would like to send us?
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterYou might have already been there but this is what we have: https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/day-sailer.
You can also try the class association: https://www.daysailer.org
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterWas it low tide?
(Seriously though, having sailed there, I know Galveston Bay gets pretty shallow at low tide or with a northerly.)Or, what about placement of your sail inventory, equipment, etc?
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterHi skipper. As a general rule, jibs hoist under forestays, spinnakers hoist above them.
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterHi. With the understanding that displacement (and therefore draft) varies depending on crew, sail inventory, provisions, equipment, etc., and that damaged keels can be replaced… Beneteau reports in a 1996 builder’s brochure that the Oceanis 440 has a draft of 5’9″.
Hope this helps.
Bruce_SailboatdataKeymasterWe do not have one. You might try the Force 5 Class Association: https://force5class.org. There might be someone there who can help you.
