"Via" is a 2004 Caliber 40 LRC, a well-built bluewater sailboat designed for long-distance cruising and ocean passages. Constructed by Caliber Yachts in Clearwater, FL, she's built to withstand the rigors of offshore sailing with a heavy-duty hull, long fin keel, and a skeg-protected rudder. Displacing 21,600 lbs,Via is capable of taking her owners almost anywhere in safety and comfort.
The interior is thoughtfully designed with a spacious forward stateroom and ensuite head, a functional galley, and a comfortable salon. There's also an aft cabin and head, perfect for guests or extra storage space. One of the standout features of Via is her large cockpit and easy-to-navigate companionway with stairs instead of a ladder, making it much easier to transition between the cockpit and the cabin-perfect for bringing food and drinks up or handling pets.
Via also has several innovative design elements that enhance safety and convenience. Her large, integral water and diesel tanks are built into the hull and made from plastic, ensuring they will never rust and adding an extra layer of safety in case of a hull breach. The huge anchor locker also doubles as a watertight crash compartment, and a collision bulkhead aft of the anchor locker provides additional protection. Excellent ventilation with opening port lights and large hatches ensures comfort in all conditions.
Via, originally named Seeker, has seen multiple adventures, including trips from the Bahamas to the Pacific Northwest. She is fully equipped for cruising with recent upgrades, including new standing rigging (2022), autopilot (2023), AIS (2021), and bottom paint (2024).

Currently located in Deltaville, VA, this 2004 Caliber 40LRC is ready for her next owner to continue exploring the world.
