Caliber 47LRC
Description
The Caliber 47 LRC (Long Range Cruiser) is an exceptional American bluewater cruising cutter designed by Michael McCreary. Built by Caliber Yachts in Clearwater, Florida, from 1999 to around 2004, approximately 20–30 hulls were produced, making it a limited-production gem in the lineup. It evolves the Caliber 40/41 with greater volume, enhanced tankage for extended autonomy, a deep skeg-hung rudder for superior tracking, and a protected center cockpit, all in a robust hand-laid fiberglass hull (Divinycell-cored deck for lightweight strength). Celebrated for its unmatched seaworthiness, dry and stable motion in 20–30 knots, and luxurious liveaboard accommodations, it's a top choice for couples or small families on circumnavigations or coastal explorations, with many owners reporting transoceanic voyages.
