About the CALIBER 35 LRC
Derived from the CALIBER 33 (1989) and CALIBER 35.
The Caliber 35 LRC is a robust cruising yacht designed by Michael McCreary and built by Caliber Yachts (USA) in 1994. With a displacement of 13100.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 25.26, this vessel is engineered for stability and seakeeping, though the exact total hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize a comfortable motion and substantial storage over high-speed performance. Its cutter rig and heavy displacement make it a strong candidate for single-handers or couples seeking a safe, stable platform for extended passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.93 and a displacement of 13100.0 lb, the Caliber 35 LRC demonstrates strong offshore suitability, further supported by owner reports of watermaker installations and high-quality sail upgrades from North and Banks.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Caliber 35 (non-LRC) and other McCreary designs like the Caliber 33, which share similar heavy-displacement characteristics and interior volume. It also competes with the Hunter 36 and O'Day 36 from the same era, though those typically offer lighter displacement and different rig configurations.
