1997 Caliber 47LRC

The Caliber 47LRC is a 47-foot fiberglass cruising yacht built for serious offshore sailing. Her construction includes hand-laid fiberglass, a watertight collision bulkhead, and a skeg-hung rudder designed to handle demanding ocean conditions. Power comes from a single 54-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine driving a horizontal shaft, with a Smart Fuel System managing consumption. The yacht's 277-gallon fuel capacity and 225-gallon water tank support extended passages—the boat can cruise approximately 1400 nautical miles on a single tank.

The yacht accommodates two cabins and two heads, with a galley fitted for comfortable cooking and living at sea. Interior storage is abundant throughout, and all chain plates are easily accessible for inspection. The Convertible Cutter Rig offers flexibility for various sea states and sailing conditions. A full complement of comfort systems includes air conditioning throughout and a generator for onboard power.

The boat has been actively cruised and lived aboard by her previous owners over many years. Significant updates and replacements completed in recent years include a full electronics suite, new generator, dual air conditioning units, new furling and genoa system, extensive electrical and battery upgrades, new windlass with associated maintenance, new anchors and chain, new mainsail, plumbing and manifold work, and fresh antifouling applied in late 2024. Cruising speed is approximately 7.5 knots with a maximum speed of 10 knots.
