Used Caliber 47 Lrc Sailboats for Sale

The Caliber 47 LRC (Long Range Cruiser) is a flagship bluewater cutter designed by Michael McCreary and manufactured by Caliber Yachts in Clearwater, Florida. Conceived as a vessel capable of extended self-sufficiency, the "LRC" designation reflects a design philosophy centered on massive tankage and redundant safety systems. The hull is a robust, hand-laid solid fiberglass laminate, eschewing the lighter-weight coring found in many modern hulls to prioritize impact resistance. This focus on security is codified in the brand's proprietary "Safety-Sea" features, which include a dedicated watertight collision bulkhead in the bow and a "Rudder Dam" to contain flooding in the event of a catastrophic steering failure. According to the Caliber Yachts Brochure, the yacht carries an exceptional 277 gallons of fuel and up to 260 gallons of water, providing a motorized cruising range of approximately 1,400 nautical miles—a figure nearly double that of most vessels in the 45-to-50-foot class.
