TIGER LILY

Cruisers TIGER LILY

TIGER LILY is a beautifully maintained 1978 Cal 34 Mk III, a Bill Lapworth design celebrated for combining race-bred performance with cruising comfort. The Cal 34 is widely praised for its speed, seaworthiness, and classic lines, and the Mk III version brought structural refinements, more ballast, and a higher-aspect rig, making it a truly capable offshore cruiser as well as a rewarding coastal sailor. With brand-new standing and running rigging, TIGER LILY is turn-key and ready to go—fast, safe, and balanced under sail. Owners of this model consistently report excellent windward ability, responsiveness, and comfortable passage-making, with many proving themselves on bluewater routes from California to Hawaii and the South Pacific.

Below deck, the Cal 34 offers a surprisingly spacious and practical layout for a mid-size yacht. Starting forward is a private V-berth cabin with storage and full standing headroom, followed by a large enclosed head with marine toilet and sink. The main salon features an L-shaped dinette to port that converts to a double berth, with a settee/berth to starboard, making comfortable accommodations for family or crew. The U-shaped galley aft is ideal for meal preparation underway, with a gimbaled stove, icebox, and ample counter space. A quarter berth to starboard aft completes the accommodations, bringing total berths to six. The interior is trimmed in rich teak joinery, creating a warm and inviting cruising atmosphere.

At $25,000 for the boat or $75,000 for both the boat and her rare deeded slip, TIGER LILY represents tremendous value—providing not just a well-kept yacht, but also the security and convenience of permanent dockage. For sailors seeking a fast, seaworthy, and enduringly admired yacht with a comfortable, family-friendly interior, TIGER LILY offers the complete package. Truly, this is a lot of boat for the money.
