The Caliber 40 LRC (Long Range Cruiser) is a purpose-built offshore voyaging yacht that emerged from the Clearwater, Florida, yard of Caliber Yachts in 1995. Designed by Michael McCreary and built alongside his brother George, the 40 LRC was an evolution of the original Caliber 40 introduced in 1992. While the hull dimensions remained identical to its predecessor, the "LRC" designation transformed the vessel into a specialist in self-sufficiency, boasting staggering fuel and water capacities that allow for transoceanic range under power alone. With 130 hulls produced until production ceased around 2010, the model has earned a reputation as a "poor man's Island Packet," offering similar robust construction and blue-water security at a more accessible price point. The builder utilized a "Quad-Seal" hull-to-deck joint and an integral strength grid system to ensure the vessel could withstand the rigors of high-latitude or tropical cruising alike.
