Description: Caliber 40 LRC

This Caliber 40 LRC (Long Range Cruiser) has a solid Fibreglass layup and was designed with extended offshore passagmaking in mind. She has seen serious offshore passages accomplished by her current owners who are now focusing on land based activities back home. The Caliber 40 LRC has a loyal following in the US and Canada and they command a premium due to their long range capabilities. Having a large tankage for both fuel and water make her stand out from most other cruising yachts of similar size. She is taxes paid and fully imported into Australia. Will suit exploring the more remote anchorages where distance can be a deterrent to more modern yachts.

Remarks

This Caliber 40 LRC has arrived in Australian waters after her owner sailed through from the USA. She has provided them with a safe passage through all conditions encountered and has been their home during this journey. If strength and excellent tankage, both for fuel and water, are factors in your thinking, this Long Range Cruiser should feature highly in your considerations. They are sort-after by the knowledgeable cruisers in the States and we don't see many come up for sale here in Aus.
She is located here in the marina so inspections are invited. Please contact listing broker Rob Devers, Mob: or Email: as I will be delighted to assist.
