Design
The Cal 35 Cruise is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig or optional ketch rig, with a keel-stepped mast. The boat has a raked stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 15,000 lb (6,804 kg) and carries 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 4.67 ft (1.42 m) with the standard keel fitted.[1][3]
The design has a raised saloon top, with the galley on the port side at the foot of the companionway steps. The head is located forward, just aft of the bow "V"-berth and also on the port side. A dinette table is fitted in the main cabin. Opening hatches are provided for ventilation in the forward cabin and the main cabin.[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 7.18 kn (13.30 km/h).[3]
