1989 Caliber 33 Sailboat
The Caliber 33 is a big boat tucked into a small package. Designed by company co-founder, Michael McCreary, the Caliber 33 is a solidly built cruiser of moderate to slightly heavy proportions and well respected by sailors around the country. First launched in 1989, approximately 70 boats were completed in Caliber's small but efficient plant in Clearwater, Florida.
ConstructionCaliber built its boats the old fashioned way and that's a compliment. Although they are not quite a custom builder, they're anything but a mass production builder. Caliber eschews molded liners and pans, instead it painstakingly laminates specific components into its hand-laid solid fiberglass hulls. The 33 has beefy, closely spaced floors glassed directly to the hull, providing support and rigidity. The teak-and-plywood furniture fittings and bulkheads are also glassed in place with structural bulkheads receiving added attention. Set on an inward flange, the joint is made with 3M (5200) caulking and through bolted on six-inch centers. A gasket is then formed around the inboard edge of the joint where any leaks might occur. The toe rail and stainless steel rub rail are also incorporated into the joint. Square headed carriage bolts, instead of pan head bolts, fit securely into the rail and won't easily loosen or twist when being tightened.
The deck is cored with small plywood sections that are extremely strong and the lead ballast in encapsulated in the keel cavity. Quality material and hardware are used throughout the boat, a key reason why older 33s have aged very well.
Accommodations:
The interior of the Caliber 33 is very nicely finished in teak and innovatively laid out. The companionway steps are wide and there is good headroom throughout, an advantage of a less than sleek coach roof. The white headliner brightens the cabin and nicely offsets the otherwise all- teak interior. The galley is immediately to port as you drop below. Unlike a lot of boats under 35 feet, Caliber has built in drawers and lockers instead of resorting to bins. Double stainless sinks with both pressure water and a backup foot pump. There is a stove with oven and cold plate refrigeration. Counter space and storage is more than adequate.
The aft quarter cabin arrangement is quite clever. A bi-fold door allows the cabin to be closed for privacy without the encumbrance of a full door. The navigation station is tucked away in this cabin it works well. The double bunk makes an ideal sea berth. The saloon is spacious. A fold-up, bulkhead mounted table is a great idea on any boat under 40 feet. The port settee is straight while the starboard is L-shaped. There is storage behind and under the seat backs and there are full-length shelves above. The teak-and-holly sole adds a bit of elegance.
The head, which is to starboard, is quite large for a 33-footer and includes an integral shower. It can be entered from both the saloon and the forward cabin. The V-berth is long, more than 7 feet and has nicely fitted drawers below. There is a hanging locker to port. Ventilation throughout the boat is terrific with stainless steel opening ports with screens. Tropical sailors know that portlights are more useful for airflow than overhead hatches. The Caliber 33 interior is certainly large and comfortable enough for a couple to contemplate long-term cruising or live aboard.
Galley:
Located at the base of the companionway steps and port, the galley offers excellent food preparation and storage space that will please even the most discriminating onboard chef.
