Caliber 35

Designed by McCready and built by Caliber Yachts from 1992 onward, this 35.75-foot cruising sailboat exemplifies the American builder's commitment to solid construction and traditional aesthetics. The cutter rig configuration provides excellent sail handling versatility, allowing sailors to reduce canvas progressively in deteriorating conditions while maintaining balance and control. With a displacement of 13,100 pounds and substantial ballast of 6,100 pounds, this yacht offers the stability and seaworthiness expected for serious coastal and offshore cruising. The fin keel with rudder on skeg arrangement strikes a practical balance between performance and protection, while the moderate beam of 11.33 feet ensures comfortable interior volume without sacrificing sailing characteristics. The boat's comfort ratio of 25.26 reflects its cruising-oriented design philosophy, prioritizing motion comfort over pure speed. Combined with a capsize screening formula of 1.93, these numbers indicate a vessel well-suited for extended passages and challenging weather conditions. The fiberglass construction follows proven methods, contributing to Caliber's reputation for building robust, long-lasting yachts. Hull speed calculations suggest efficient passage-making capabilities, while the sail area to displacement ratio indicates moderate performance that won't overwhelm less experienced crews. The standard 27-horsepower engine provides adequate auxiliary power for maneuvering and motorsailing when needed.
