Slip Away, a 1988 Caliber 33 sailboat is nicely equipped topsides and below with newer main and head sail, top-down furling spinnaker, windlass, Raymarine chart plotter with depth, marine radio (built-in with remote mic in cockpit) as well as davits and inflatable dinghy.
Below deck, Slip Away has a fully outfitted galley with fridge, stove and oven with plenty of storage. The spacious main salon has 6 4 headroom, loads of storage, a fold-down leaf table and new window shades. The old-world style but modern fixtures are warm and inviting. Two cabins and an expandable sofa that converts to a full size bed provides for comfortable rest. Air conditioning/heat, a wet head, and hot water heater make Slip Away an all season vessel.
The Caliber 33 is a thirty-three foot sailboat known for its sea kindly performance, spacious interior, and quality construction. The boat comes equipped with many spare parts, tools, stereo, handheld radio, custom lighting and the galley is stocked with tons of kitchenware needed to prepare meals aboard.
A well maintained and capable cruiser, Slip Away is a joy to sail. Youll have just about everything needed to slip the lines and start cruising tomorrow.
Equipment: ELECTRONICS 9 inch Raymarine Axiom chart plotter, Raymarine depth sounder, Standard Horizon VHF radio in cabin with cockpit remote, AIS receiver, handheld VHF radio, EPIRB, Ritchie Powerdamp compass, Kenwood stereo system with cabin and cockpit speakers.

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)
SD = Shoal draft.
