The Cabo Rico 45 benefits from design input from two of the most renowned designers of cruising yachts. Bill Crealock (of Cabo Rico 38 and Pacific Seacraft fame) drew the original lines and Chuck Paine brought the concept to fruition with the Cabo Rico company. With her traditional styling and rugged, seakindly design and construction, those considering the purchase of a Shannon, Gozzard, Pacific Seacraft, Ta-Shing, Valiant, should certainly include a Cabo Rico on their short list. The signature plantation teak joinery sets Cabo Ricos apart from all others. 

The owner of FOOTLOOSE has invested 100s of $1000 in the last few years! This, along with her design pedigree and meticulous maintenance, render her among the most desirable cruising yachts to be offered on the brokerage market. A few notable features include: • 3 new sails • In-boom furling mainsail • Sumptuous, signature Cabo Rico teak joinery
