White Bronco is your ticket to low cost Bahamas cruising. She has been my trusty steed from as far north as New York City to as far south as Guadeloupe in the Caribbean and many places in between including Bermuda and a season in the Bahamas.

She has been heavily upgraded to make her a safe and efficient vessel for me to singlehand and live aboard for thousands of nautical miles of adventure.

The Lapworth designed Cal 35 MKII is a great sailor and has a fantastic spacious interior with probably the best head/shower ever put on a 35 footer. This is the version with a quarter berth and 5 foot shoal draft ready to maximize your Bahamas possibilities or Chesapeake bay gunk holing. A great design as a live aboard whether at anchor or at the dock.

She is currently on the hard in Chesapeake, Virginia right on the ICW, near the mouth of the bay, and ready to head north or south. Your choice.

Includes Bombard Dinghy and 5hp Tohatsu 2-stroke outboard. How else are you going to get to shore?
