SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE BOTH ABOVE AND BELOW DECKS.

Our deck layout maximizes safety and control.

Our roomy cockpit is designed for safety and efficiency, even when sailing short-handed. All sail control lines are led aft to the cockpit, and all winches are self-tailing for one-handed use. Even mainsail reefing, an awkward chore on many boats, is quick and easy on the 40LRC, thanks to our single-line auto-reefing system with cockpit controls.

The T-shaped cockpit accommodates an extra-large-diameter wheel, to allow a skipper to sit off to the side for a clear view of the sails. With the cockpit’s generous proportions, there’s room for the tallest sailor to relax.

At the stern, a boarding platform makes it simple to board a dinghy a take a swim. The platform’s folding ladder can be deployed from the water, allowing safe, quick access, even for an unassisted swimmer. A hand-held shower provides a rinse-off right on the platform.
 

At the forward end of a Caliber is another handy, functional feature: our distinctive anchor roller platform. Sturdily constructed of teak and stainless, the platform simplifies anchor handling and reduces the risk of the anchor chipping the hull’s gelcoat.

Below decks on the Caliber 40 LRC: Spacious accommodations graciously appointed.

In terms of accommodations, no boat of comparable size comes close to the Caliber 40LRC. Her sleeping quarters are true staterooms, expansive and private. Instead of a cramped V-berth, there’s a full Forward Cabin with storage space and a generous offset berth. The roomy Forward Head features its own separate shower that’s enclosed by a Plexiglas door, not a plastic curtain. Together, the Forward Cabin and head offer luxurious livability for extended days. The same kind of comfort and convenience is provided in the Aft Stateroom, with its double berth and large hanging locker.

Clever design and uncompromising craftsmanship are further evident in the Main Salon. Well illuminated, richly furnished in teak, this area takes full advantage of a wide beam. The result: a "Living Room" that’s perfect for entertaining guests. The twin-leaf dining table folds up against the bulkhead for additional space.

We’ve located the Aft Head where it’s convenient to the cockpit. And we’ve designed it with two doors, one connecting the Aft Stateroom and one the Main Salon, so it can be accessed from either area without disturbing the other’s occupants. The Aft Head is completely outfitted with pressurized hot and cold water and a shower.

Any cook will appreciate the Caliber 35LRC’s efficient L-shaped Galley. It includes a two-burner stove and oven, a large icebox, twin sinks, ample storage for food and utensils, and more than enough counter space to prepare multi-course meals.

Ventilation on the is outstanding! with 14 opening portholes, 7 overhead hatches, a solar fan, and two dorades each strategically placed for optimal air circulation.

With the 40LRC’s generous storage space, you can take it with you!

Whether your voyages last a weekend or weeks at a time, storage space on a boat is at a premium. So at Caliber, we put a lot of thought into equipping our yachts with loads of storage capabilities.

Of course we’ve provided the 40LRC with numerous lockers, drawers and shelves throughout the interior. But where space is squandered on other boats – under counters, above counters, under settees, behind settees, for instance—it’s all designed to be useable storage on a Caliber. This lets you carry ample supplies so that they’re out of the way, yet easily to access when needed. We’ve even partitioned the sail locker to augment the giant compartment with two auxiliary spaces. Even the anchor well is extra large and partitioned.

CALIBER’S LRC SYSTEM - EXTRA FUEL AND WATER, FOR EXTRA PEACE OF MIND.

Cruising the open sea is one of life’s great adventures. But as experienced blue-water sailors know, the fun can easily be dampened by nasty surprises. Such as violent weather. Uncooperative winds. Questionable water supplies and fuel rip-offs at out-of-the-way places.

Fortunately for the owner of a Caliber LRC, such difficulties aren’t so disheartening. That’s because we’ve designed our fuel and water tankage for long-range capacity and dependability, to give you more freedom and control at sea.

The fuel tanks on the 40LRC carry an astounding 230 gallons, which extends her motoring range many hundreds of miles beyond other boats in her class. When becalmed, or when a storm is threatening, the 40LRC can motor vast distances to reach more favorable conditions for sailing. As for water, the 40LRC hauls 195 gallons. Sufficient to supply four people well beyond a month at sea.

With capacities like these, the 40LRC won’t constantly have to tank up at foreign ports, where the fuel and water prices may be high, and the quality suspect.

As further assistance against trouble, the LRC is equipped with dual tanks and filters for both fuel and water. Should a problem arise in one tank, a simple flip of a lever accesses the other.
