The accolades for this particular boat are many. Certainly one of the most influential designs and successful racing boats ever. With 160 built, it was also a commercial success for Jensen Marine.
Less mention is made of the man, George Griffith, who actually commissioned the design, and agreed to back the construction of the first ten boats in order to get his own built.
This added note from Robert VanderPol II:
There is a single example of a raised deck Cal 40 similar to the Cal 25 & 28. Jensen Marine got hoodwinked into building it with the promise of 2 more owners to buy copies, but they backed out at the last minute, so only the one was built and delivered.
