CALIBER 28
It takes into consideration "reported" sail area, displacement and length at waterline. The higher the number the faster speed prediction for the boat.

Caliber 28 Stability
As to the Caliber 28, first of all, this is not a light boat by any stretch of the imagination. A moderate displacement 28 footer would be somewhere around 5500-6000 lbs. My last boat was a 4100 lb 28 foot performance cruiser. So if anything at 7200 lbs the Caliber is on the stoggy side of the weight range. While 10''-10" is on the beamy side ...

the caliber 28 had a fin keel that was thru bolted and not quite as reliable as the integral keel on the later models. calibers are far better boats than whatever catalina or beneteau or hunter you throw at me (which is about all you can see on yachtworld) IMHO. 21-03-2013, 00:20. # 15.

Review of Caliber 28
The Caliber 28 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.19 - 1.29 meter (3.90 - 4.20 ft) dependent on the load.

CAL 28
Hi Alice, We bought an '87 Cal-28 a couple of years ago and couldn't be happier with the decision. We looked at 6 different examples before eventually finding 'ours'. As the younger sister to the Cal 33, the 28 shares many of the same systems and hardware.As a results, much of the rigging is overbuilt and heavier duty than you may find on other 28' cruisers.
Caliber 28 Owners: Help!
Since the Caliber 28 does not have a shaft strut under the hull the Martec blades may have extended too far aft of the strut bearing that is within the hull, and it may have created too much vibration on the one inch shaft. The boat will be hauled out for the season in October, so, sadly, pictures of the area are not available at this time.

The Sabre 28 was the only model produced by the company until 1977, when the Sabre 34 entered production. In 1979 the gap between the Sabre 28 and the ...

Caliber has a very god reputation for building quality boats, and for customer service. The 28 was their first boat and has an amazing amount of space below. Of course, all that interior volume comes at the expense (at least to my eye) of looks. The 28 is boxy and ungainly looking to me. Although I have never sailed on one, the reputation is ...

The Caliber 33 and 35 Used Boat Review
The original 33 and early 35 models had a 26-gallon fuel capacity while the 35LRC boasts an enormous 120-gallon fuel capacity. They aren't kidding about this long-range cruiser stuff. The sail area to displacement ratio of the Caliber 33/35 averages a conservative 16 with an average displacement length ratio of a less conservative 210.
