The Cabo Rico 45 stands as a definitive example of the "blue water" ethos, a vessel designed by the legendary W.I.B. Crealock to prioritize seaworthiness and comfort over the fleeting trends of light-displacement racing designs. Launched as an evolution of the Cabo Rico 40 and 42 series, the 45 was engineered specifically for the long-haul cruiser who demands a boat capable of handling heavy weather without punishing the crew. Built in San Jose, Costa Rica, these yachts are often described as "furniture that floats," a nod to the extraordinary level of woodworking and joinery that defined the yard’s output until production shifted. The 45 is characterized by its clipper bow, traditional lines, and a hull form that emphasizes stability and volume, making it a perennial favorite for those planning transoceanic passages.
