The acid test of a cruising boat hasn't changed over the years. It's still how the cruising yacht performs at sea.

That's why a CAL -- unlike some competitive boats -- is still built first for sailing. And why Bill Lapworth, our designer, doesn't sacrifice performance for his cruisers' roomy cabins.

The CAL 34-III is an offshore boat -- designed to handle offshore weather. A cruiser built to keep you comfortable even on a punishing daylong beat to windward.

Unlike many cruising boats, the CAL 34-III will sail close to the wind. She has the speed for which all of Lapworth's boats are known.

And she doesn't need her engine every time the wind goes light.

At CAL, we haven't forgotten what a sailing yacht should look like.

Which is why the CAL 34-III has a rich, traditional teak cabin and an offshore cruiser's graceful sheer.

We also know a real cruiser has to be a self-sufficient boat. A boat a family can live on.

That's why we fitted her with the storage space that's needed on a 34-footer. Why we opted for a two-cabin layout that prioritizes privacy, and put the Cal's big galley aft, where the motion of the boat is easiest when she's underway.
