Designed by Michael McCreary and built by Caliber Yachts starting in 1992, this 41-foot cutter represents a thoughtful approach to bluewater cruising. The fiberglass construction combines traditional aesthetics with modern engineering, featuring a fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration that balances directional stability with reasonable maneuverability. With a displacement of 21,600 pounds and substantial ballast of 9,500 pounds, this design prioritizes seaworthiness over speed. The moderate beam of 12.67 feet and five-foot draft make her suitable for most harbors while providing adequate interior volume for extended cruising. Her cutter rig offers excellent versatility in varying wind conditions, allowing sailors to reduce sail area progressively as conditions deteriorate. The comfort ratio of 32.39 indicates a motion that favors long-distance cruising over spirited daysailing, while the capsize screening formula of 1.82 suggests good stability characteristics for offshore work. Hull speed calculations point to relaxed passage-making rather than competitive performance. Caliber built a reputation for solid construction and practical layouts during the 1990s, and this model exemplifies their focus on capable coastal and offshore cruising boats. The design appeals to sailors seeking a traditional feel with reliable ocean-crossing capabilities.
