Caliber Yachts stand apart from the fleet for their swiftness, seaworthiness, durability and exceptional stability and comfort. As Caliber owners know, it is the artful combination of these qualities which enables a Caliber to perform beyond the limits that constrain so many others. This 1996 Caliber 40 LRC "Calypso" meets all those expectations. Set up for long distance sailing and live-aboard comfort, she is a true blue water cruising sailing vessel.
Designer Michael McCreary put a lot of thought into the needs of his customers when the design was first conceived. Things like the watertight forward collision bulkhead, the triple support rudder post system, and water tight rudder damn add security when hundreds of miles offshore.
The 40 LRC is set for long distance with an unbelievable 210 gal diesel capacity and 160 gal water capacity, both contained in integral hull tanks below the cabin sole. The boat also features a forward owner stateroom with ample storage, head and separate shower located in the bow and second day head/shower located to starboard just at the bottom of the very easy to navigate companionway stairs.
If you're in the market for a really spacious cruising boat for a couple, you can't do much better than the fantastic Caliber 40 LRC. "Calypso" is ready to go cruising anywhere in the world for blue water adventures!
