Seller's Description

Well equipped 35ft Cruiser/Racer. Purchased the boat from a couple who lived on her for 13 years cruising from San Diego to Florida. She was starting to show her age, and we’ve replaced everything that was wearing out including installing a new elliptical rudder in 2018. With the deep keel and new rudder she sails upwind like a dream and easily outpaces other cruisers of the same size. The motor is strong and has been professionally maintained. It has low hours for its age at around 2,500. If you want to cruise around with a turn of speed, this is a good choice for you. Over the last few years we’ve sailed her extensively around the gulf coast. We’ve fixed everything we’ve found wrong and haven’t allowed any issues to fester. She was just hauled and painted in November of 2019. We paid extra to have the old paint sand blasted off and the new paint sprayed on, so while it’s not a slippery smooth racing bottom, it’s much better than average for a cruiser. We’ll regularly sail 6.5kts upwind and hit waterline speed in only 12kts of wind on all other points of sail. She surfs like a dream too if downwind sailing is more your style. Lapworth used what he learned building the Cal 40 to create a fast, but comfortable cruiser in the Cal 35mkii. Other than the headliner, the interior of the boat is as good as you could wish for in a 1980. All the cushions were completely replaced in 2019 and the Vberth is now as comfortable as my bed at home. Full maintenance log from the past 20 years is on the boat including all the work we have done. She really is a great boat and will serve someone well. Our sailing goals have just changed over the last few years and we won’t be using her to her full potential. We still sail on her regularly so she’s really a great turnkey boat. Get out racing or cruising as soon as the paperwork is signed. I will update with more pictures as I have the time to take them. Send me a message if there is something specific you want a better look at or if you have any questions.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.0 kn
Classic: 7.18 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

8.01 knots
Classic formula: 7.18 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
17.6
16-20: good performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
17.57
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
40.0
>40: stiffer, more powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

40.0
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
244.5
200-275: moderate

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
244.48
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
26.7
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
26.73
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.87
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising

Notes

Deep draft: 6.0’/1.83m
Shown here is the MKII version introduced in 1981 with a slightly different interior most notably on the earlier versions the head was aft on the port side next to the companionway and the galley was on the starboard side.
Not to be confused with the earlier CAL 35 CRUISING KETCH. (1973)
