Introductory Comments "The Cabo Rico 40 designed by Chuck Paine may be the most graceful since those designed by L. Francis Herreshoff." Yachting Magazine Feb. 1999. "Cabo Rico has earned its reputation by building handsome, well-proportioned and conservatively rigged designs for cruising sailors who intend to live aboard or make extensive passages." Sail Magazine March '99.

Hull and Deck Construction On the Cabo Rico yacht, bulkheads are glassed and clad in solid teak for strength and then fully bonded to both hull and deck using 3 layers of 1.5 oz mat and 3 layers of 24 oz roving. Structural bulkheads help to remove any tendency of a hull and deck to flex, a condition that can cause stress cracks over time.
The hull to deck joint, one of the most important to guarantee structural integrity, is a raised bulwark design. This design creates a large U channel structure around the entire vessel. This form reduces the twist factor. The joint is sealed and thru bolted throughout. This design has the added benefit of providing a vertical platform for attaching lifeline stanchions. This is both stronger and less likely to leak.
Cabo Rico uses an elaborate mast step bridge that elevates the mast butt to the dry cabin sole. This allows for an effective keel-stepped mast while never allowing the mast butt to come into contact with potentially corrosive bilge water. The bridge itself is of heavy fiberglass laminate in a criss-cross pattern, with a half inch aluminum plate laminated into the top covering fiberglass platform. The solid teak and holly sole is epoxied to the covering platform giving a uniform finished area to which the mast step is through bolted. The void is used for the holding tank.
The cabin sole or floor construction on the boat is elaborate. All floor stringers transfers and sub-flooring are solid fiberglass. The solid teak and holly sole is attached with epoxy glue. There is no area of the bilges and substructure that is wood or that can rot under any conditions.
