2005 Caliber LRCSE

Translates to Tradewinds

Over $24k in recent upgrades including sails, autopilot, etc.

She is one of only two Caliber 35 LRC SE’s built. "SE" stands for Simple Elegance.  This means that you can be assured that this Caliber was built with a modern electrical system, enormous fuel and water tankage, lush cabin appointments, exceptional safety features and excellent sailing qualities.

Recently the current owners have treated Alisios to over $24,000 in documented upgrades including custom offshore Tri-Radial sails, AIS transceiver, and the latest electronics. She is large enough to be comfortable and seaworthy, but small enough to be easily handled by one or two people. The current owner has speant about 85% of his sailing time on Alisios single-handed.

The underbody of the Caliber 35 LRC is an ideal combination of performance and seaworthiness. The modifed fin keel design provides the best of two worlds: performance and high pointing ability similar to sporty fin keels, with stability, tracking and sea kindliness approaching that of a heavy full keel design. Her double-sealed one-piece keel is integral to the hull, not bolted on like many production boats. Her skeg-hung rudder is well protected from grounding or collision, and provides excellent authority and feel.

The hull is a solid heavy woven roving glass laminate, creating a thick panel which increases strength. Just bang the hull of a LRC SEries yacht, and compare it to others. Common sense will tell you what you want to be at sea on.

The interior of a Caliber is hand-crafted for strength, not mass produced from glass liners and glass components. All bulkheads are individually taped in place top to bottom, bow to stern, throughout the entire hull. In addition, from the floor stringers and the subsole, to berth tops and shelves, everything is solidly hand-laminated to the hull. Such thorough lamination is virtually impossible when installing large fiberglass liners or fiberglass components.

The Caliber 35 LRC can be rigged either as a sloop or cutter, depending on weather. In sloop mode, the 135% genoa is efficient and easily tacked without the interference of an inner forestay. When the wind pipes up, the inner forestay can be rigged in a moment. The hanked-on staysail is self-tacking and provides a perfectly balanced sail plan with a double-reefed main for easy, comfortable and safe heavy air sailing.

The cockpit design maximizes safety.  The roomy cockpit is designed for safety, comfort, and efficiency. High back supports are built into the seats plus the cockpit’s coaming tops are extra wide creating nice seats too. For extra security both the bow and stern pulpits are extra-long completely enveloping the cockpit and the foredeck.

At the stern, a boarding platform makes it simple to board a dinghy or take a swim. The platform’s folding ladder can be deployed from the water, allowing safe, quick access, even for an unassisted swimmer. A hand-held shower provides a rinse-off right on the platform without getting the deck wet.

The transom is a closed design to protect the cockpit from following seas.

For short-handed, or single-handed sailing, all sail control lines are led aft to the cockpit. All winches are self-tailing for one-handed use. Even mainsail reefing, an awkward chore on many boats, is quick and easy on the 35LRC, thanks to the Selden single-line auto-reefing system with cockpit controls. The primary genoa winches are specifically placed so they are easily reached by the helmsman or crew.

The T-shaped cockpit accommodates an extra- large diameter wheel, to allow the helmsman to sit off to the side for a clear view of the sails. With the cockpit’s generous proportions, there is room for the tallest sailor to relax.  

Located at the bow there is a large foredeck locker which is not only able to contain the anchor rode, but there is additional room for storage such as fenders and docking lines.

To help you feel extra secure, whether it be in the cockpit or working the foredeck, the bow and stern rails are extended far beyond what is standard for the industry. The Caliber Safety Sea RailsTM wrap the cockpit and the foredeck, so you can be wrapped in safety.

The dedicated engine room is considered the heart of a LRC SEries yacht. The compartment was designed with the utmost planning and attention to detail.

Where other yachts place major system components under sinks, buried in lockers, the LRC SEries major system components are primarily located in the dedicated engine room.

This leaves extra room in the rest of the yacht interior for useful storage. Within the engine room, there is space for an air conditioner, water maker, inverter, heater, etc. There is good access to all this equipment and the diesel engine. The marine batteries, fresh water manifolds, fuel control panel, steering system components are all within easy reach. There is even room for a generator.

The dedicated navigator's station is located aft near the companionway, gives the navigator a secure location to plot a course and to monitor the electronics.

There is extra space to accommodate the electronics, navigation equipment and instruments on the drop-down mounting surface designed for this purpose.

Every available cubic inch is turned into useable storage. The working surface of the chart table is large enough to make chart reading and plotting easy. The lid raises for instrument and chart storage.

Main Salon features a fold away bulkhead table creating space for entertaining

guests or for quiet relaxation and takes full advantage of the wide beam to provide an expansive main living area.

With the table up, this area provides a nice place to sit and relax, have a drink, watch TV, or read a book. With the bulkhead table down (wine and magazine rack behind), it creates the perfect area for dining with a large group when the occasion arises.

Storage in the main salon abounds. There are large storage lockers under, behind, and above both the port and starboard settees. When extra guests arrive, the starboard settee easily converts into a large single berth, or can be used as a small double.

A gourmet cook will appreciate this galley with its Force 10 LPG stove and oven, a large and heavily insulated top loading ice box, large premium double stainless steel sink, ample storage for food and utensils, and a secure U-shaped counter for space to prepare meals.

Ventilation was a priority in the design of the galley. Flow-through ventilation is accomplished with a dedicated overhead hatch, portholes and the location beside the large companionway opening.

Every conceivable spot is used for storage so no volume is wasted. Even the bottom step of the companionway stairs is used to store the garbage bin where it’s hidden away out of sight, yet convenient to use.

Two sleeping cabins, each with large double-berths, provide for total relaxation and comfort.

The aft cabin, a quarter berth, is located on the starboard side and is easy to enter when you come down the companionway or leave the chart table. 

The forward cabin is a true stateroom featuring an extra large V- berth with a tufted mattress topper and private access to the forward head. It is 6’ 10” long and 6’2” wide. This stateroom features a cedar-lined hanging locker with shelf above, three drawers below the berth, and drop-in storage also below the berth. Optional teak hull panels, unique to the SE series, create a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The extra large forward head with two-way accessibility. The private enclosed cabin with manual head is uncommonly large and allows plenty of room for showering. A dedicated overhead hatch and opening porthole allows for cross-flow ventilation. 

A unique feature of this head is dual accessibility. There are two entry doors with one for private access from the forward cabin and another with access from the aft cabin/main salon.

There are storage cabinets above the countertop and a storage locker below. To make cleaning and maintenance easy, these are the only interior areas that are built using fiberglass components.

The owner replaced the original headliner in the salon and head with removable fabric covered panels to allow access to deck hardware for maintenance and re-bedding when needed.
