About the KALIK 40

Designed by Gary Mull and built by Kyung-Il Yacht in Korea from 1979โ1981, the Kalik 40 is a robust cruising sloop with a displacement of 16600.0 lb and a beam of 12.75 ft. While the exact hull build count is unknown, the fleet is characterized by a heavy, comfortable ride with a comfort ratio of 25.31 and a low capsize ratio of 2.0.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and stability over high-speed performance, particularly those willing to invest in significant structural maintenance. It is well-suited for couples or families seeking a spacious, stable platform for long-term cruising.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 16600.0 lb, a fin keel, and a capsize ratio of 2.0, the Kalik 40 is well-regarded for offshore passages, though its bluewater readiness depends heavily on addressing critical structural issues like deck core moisture.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 40 and O'Day 40, which share similar dimensions and cruising-oriented designs from the late 1970s. These vessels offer similar interior volume and heavy displacement characteristics, making them direct competitors in the used market.
