The 1994 Caliber 35 is a purpose-built, true bluewater cruising cutter engineered for offshore security, short-handed ease, and classic liveaboard comfort.
Designed by naval architect Michael McCreary and crafted in Clearwater, Florida, by Caliber Yachts, this vessel represents the classic "standard tankage" configuration—prioritizing interior volume, lower displacement overhead, and crisp sailing performance.
Construction & Build Quality:
Solid Fiberglass Hull: Caliber avoided pre-fabricated structural liners.
Instead, they hand-glassed individual bulkheads and internal joiner components directly to the hull with multiple layers of cloth.
Heavy Ballast Ratio: With a high ballast-to-displacement ratio (45%–47%), a modified fin keel, and a robust skeg-hung rudder, the boat is exceptionally stiff and safe when navigating rough ocean conditions.
Sailing Performance:
Bluewater Design: Engineered as a dedicated displacement cruiser rather than a light-air racer, it thrives in heavy weather, handling 15-to-25 knot winds with a stable, upright posture.
Cutter Rig: The versatile inner forestay allows for effortless sail reduction, keeping the vessel perfectly balanced when wind and sea states ramp up.
Interior & Accommodations:
Nav Station & Sea Berth: Features a starboard navigation desk paired with an excellent offshore bunk. It is strategically placed so an off-watch captain can easily monitor helm activity and electronics.
Galley & Storage: Outfitted with a secure galley, double sinks, expansive dry storage, and dedicated refrigeration.
Living Spaces: Includes an L-shaped salon settee that converts into a double berth, a fold-down dining table, a wet head with dual-door privacy access, and a spacious forward V-berth.
