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 selfsufficiency, the "LRC" designation reflects a design philosophy centered on massive tankage and redundant safety systems. The hull is a robust, handlaid solid fiberglass laminate, eschewing the lighterweight coring found in many modern hulls to prioritize impact resistance. This focus on security is codified in the brand's proprietary "SafetySea" 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 45to50foot class.
