The and deck were in reasonably good condition when I was sailing and I do not expect much if any deterioration while she has been in dry storage. No or problems but I suppose an is warranted. Regarding brightwork, the boat has almost no exterior wood. I can only remember the handrails on deck and the companionway boards. I expect them to be in the state you would expect them to be after twenty years of no maintenance. And only outside. The boat has a and I expect the metal framing would be OK but the to have deteriorated and need to be replaced. The motor I expect should be in reasonably good working order. It would need an and little more to get it going again. New , obviously. The boat had a , , speed log and other electronics which I am going to assume are very much out of date and would need to be replaced. You would have a blank slate there. Let's assume all electronics need to be replaced. Regarding the domestic living: I expect all the wood, furniture and fittings to be in reasonably good state, probably needing . Probably the foam need to be replaced. The has a compressed natural gas which works well. CNG is a bit more difficult to find than but has the advantage of being lighter than air and not settling in the . No , only . There's a small (window type) air conditioner that fits on a special companionway board. It worked well with the limitation that the companionway cannot be used while the a/c is in place. Mainly I would install it before turning in for the night but I could still use the forward for exit. It does have a working with a . It does have a working domestic water system with , hot water tank, etc. I do not expect it needs much work if any to bring all the domestic water system into service. I was very happy with how all that worked and remember taking comfortable showers and having water service just like at home. I spent time and it was a comfortable boat to live in. The was in good working order but twenty years later I would replace all the incandescent lights with LEDs which would be easy to do. In summary, I believe the electronics is the main aspect that needs a lot of attention and the rest of the boat could be made ready to live and sail without major or work.

Will the next owner have to jump through the hoops to register/document? Does the yard have any liens or claims against it for past due fees?

Caliber 35 Owners?My wife and I are in the market for a liveaboard sailboat that will see mostly coastal cruising (east coast of USA) and island hopping the Bahamas, maybe getting as far as some Caribbean cruising and a jump over to Bermuda. We've been sorting through brochures, websites, magazine reviews, etc for years and have done some tire-kicking on a number of boats. I really like the Caliber 40 but presently we're looking at the Caliber 35 LRC as an alternative, mainly to reduce the long term cost of ownership (from dock fees to upkeep). I've scrounged Yachtworld but it seems there are none on the used market. A new one is not out of the question but I'd like a chance to talk with owners or others with first hand experience with these boats before taking that plunge. If you have, or have experience with, the Caliber 35 please drop me a PM. The Caliber 35 is a nice boat. Essentially, it's a Caliber 33 with larger tanks and a bowsprit. Sturdy build (Melrna posted a caliber factory tour some time ago - check it out), and well thought out layout. Keep searching in YW. They do come on the market from time to time. Good luck! Check out the photo essay of a couple who did exactly what you are planning in a Caliber 35LRC. I just bought a 33 to do the same. Caliber Cruising Club ps both the 33 and 35 have bowsprits. The big difference is the size of the tanks and also the newer 35 has an integrated step on the transom which gives it the extra length There is a 35 for sale in Rock Hall which we looked at. Same as a 35LRC except without the bigger tanks. Nice boat in good shape but expensive (at least I thought so) I dont know but I imagine you could get some extra tanks installed though that would take away storage space you might want Top Contributors this Month | | | | | | |

Caliber 33 under sail. Construction. The 33 was among the quietest boats we've sailed. In 5′ Buzzard's Bay slop, the creaks and groans that can come with torquing and pounding in a seaway were absent. Caliber glasses the bulkheads and furniture to the solid-glass hull (as opposed to employing an interior "pan").
The original 33 and early 35 models had a 26-gallon fuel capacity while the 35LRC boasts an enormous 120-gallon fuel capacity. They aren't kidding about this long-range cruiser stuff. The sail area to displacement ratio of the Caliber 33/35 averages a conservative 16 with an average displacement length ratio of a less conservative 210.
40 to 50 indicates a heavy bluewater boat; over 50 indicates an extremely heavy bluewater boat. Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam^1.33), where displacement is expressed in pounds, and length is expressed in feet. Capsize Screening Formula (CSF): Designed to determine if a boat has blue water capability.
Designed by company co-founder, Michael McCreary, the 33 is a solidly built cruiser of moderate to slightly heavy proportions and well respected by sailors around the country. First launched in 1985, approximately 70 boats were completed in Caliber's small but efficient plant in Clearwater, Florida. The boat evolved into the Caliber 35 in 1990 ...

Boat: 15' Catboat, Bristol 35.5. Posts: 3,573. Re: Caliber 33 or IP 31. The Caliber 33 is a much faster and better boat IMHO. IP's are good cruising boats and there are good deals on them because there are so many for sale but I think the Caliber is a step above the IP. I'm sure a lot would disagree though.

The Bluewater Sailboat Caliber 33 is a well-liked classic with a large interior in a compact package. The boat, which Michael McCreary, a co-founder of the firm, designed, was introduced in 1985 with a clear focus on the performance-conscious cruiser. The design has undergone numerous advancements over the years, and the current model, the ...
The Caliber 33 is equipped with a finn keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a long keel. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.37 - 1.47 meter (4.49 - 4.79 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
The Caliber 33 is a 32.5ft cutter designed by Michael McCreary and built in fiberglass by Caliber Yachts (USA) between 1986 and 1991.

Cruising World also did one back in 1994 on the 38. As Mitch recomended review the Caliber E-Mails here @ Sail Net.
