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.

Specifications: LOA: 27.50 ft LWL: 24.33 ft Beam: 10.83 ft Draft: 3.92 ft Displacement: 7,200 Ballast: 3,100 Engine: Yanmar 2GM20F, 16HP, very good condition Fuel: 20 gallons Fresh Water tank: 25 gallons Electronics: New Garmin Instrument package (DST800 transducer (depth, speed, temperature) gWind anemometer, GN10, GM20 display, NMEA2000 network hub) Electric and manual bilge pumps Hot water heater Guest Battery charger Head: This boat has a clean, never used 20 gallon holding tank. The original manual head was removed but available and a Thetford Porta-Potti was installed. The thru-hull dedicated to the head input was converted to install the Webasto Air Conditioner.

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.
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
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.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
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.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
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.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
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.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
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.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
