1986 Caliber Yachts Caliber 28

1986 Caliber 28 Hull #45 of 48 made

Good Old Boat described the Caliber 28 as a lot of boat in a small, stout package. Mara is a well maintained, dual cabin Caliber 28 with many recent upgrades. The cabin is in excellent condition. She does not leak or have that old boat smell. With a beam of 10ft 8in., the boat provides great on-deck space and feels larger than a 28 foot sailboat. This is a 3-owner yacht with detailed maintenance records dating back to 2013.

If you are looking for a sturdy and comfortable sailboat in great condition that is easy to single-hand and large enough to sail with friends and family, this Caliber 28 is worth considering.

Mara is currently on the hard and shrink-wrapped at Stivers marina but it is possible access the interior and inspect her upon request.
