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 lightdisplacement racing designs. Launched as an evolution of the Cabo Rico 40 and 42 series, the 45 was engineered specifically for the longhaul 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.
