The name "VIA" captures the essence of adventure aboard this 2004 Caliber 40LRC (Long Range Cruiser). This meticulously crafted, liveaboard-ready monohull is poised to turn your cruising dreams into reality, offering the perfect blend of comfort, durability, and performance for extended voyages.  Catch up on the last four years of her journey to where she is now at the owners YouTube channel Making Our Way.

The Caliber 40LRC’s 212-gallon fuel capacity and 178-gallon water capacity far exceed those of similar vessels, offering extended range and independence from the dock or foreign ports. Two fuel tanks and a builtin dual Racor polishing system and Spectra water-maker provide redundancy, ensuring reliability in remote waters. Whether navigating stormy seas or tranquil passages, the Caliber 40LRC combines thoughtful design, rugged construction, and luxurious amenities to deliver a safe, capable, and comfortable cruising experience.

The cockpit is designed for safety and efficiency, especially for shorthanded sailing. All sail control lines lead aft to self-tailing winches, and a single-line auto-reefing system simplifies mainsail adjustments from the cockpit. The T-shaped cockpit accommodates a large-diameter wheel for clear sail visibility, while its spacious layout ensures comfort and security for all aboard. 

A boarding platform with a deployable ladder, and a handheld (cold) shower enhance functionality.  Partial solid stainless life-rail (bow & stern). At the bow, a teak and stainless steel anchor roller platform simplifies anchoring and protects the hull’s gelcoat. Additional stern anchor with ~200' of rode and installed fairlead that runs to starboard winch.

The Caliber 40LRC is a robust, bluewater cruiser engineered for exceptional performance, safety, and comfort in demanding offshore conditions. Its modified fin keel and skeg-hung rudder deliver responsive handling and superior directional stability, even in heavy seas. With a high ballast-to-displacement ratio and substantial displacement for its size, the 40LRC remains steady and secure in rough waters. This robust construction instills confidence in every voyage.

Safety is paramount in the 40LRC’s design. Reinforced fiberglass at critical impact points, a watertight collision pocket, and a rudder post dam minimize flooding risks in case of a collision. The rudder assembly, a vulnerable component on any vessel, is fortified with a solid 1.5-inch stainless steel shaft and a Triple-Support Rudder System with three bearings—one housed internally to reduce corrosion and ease maintenance. The structural skeg further protects the rudder from grounding damage.

The Quad-Seal Deck to Hull System exemplifies Caliber’s meticulous craftsmanship. This four-step process—using polyurethane adhesive, co-polymer sealant, a thru-bolted aluminum toe-rail, and a stainless steel striker—creates a watertight, exceptionally strong hull-to-deck joint that resists moisture and protects against dockside impacts. The integrated keel, tanks, and sub-sole form a unified hull structure, eliminating external keel bolts, enhancing strength, and providing a double-bottom effect to prevent flooding if the hull is breached. A deep bilge keeps water away from lockers when heeled, and sealed ballast within the keel adds an extra layer of safety.
