About the CALIBER 35
Updated and extended version of the CALIBER 33. LOA w/bowsprit = 36.5'. See CALIBER 33 for more details. Updated and renamed again to CALIBER 35 LRC in 1995.
The Caliber 35 is a 35.75 ft cutter designed by McCreary and built by Caliber Yachts (USA) in 1992. With a displacement of 13100.0 lb and a beam of 11.33 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of American production with a build count that remains unverified in available records.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform with a fin keel and cutter rig, rather than extreme bluewater racers.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.93 and a comfort ratio of 25.26, the Caliber 35 offers moderate offshore stability suitable for protected coastal passages but lacks the heavy displacement typically preferred for extreme bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from the early 1990s with similar displacement and cutter rigs include the Tartan 36 and O'Day 36, which share similar comfort ratios and coastal cruising roles.
