A year of ownership
Each at its Gauge Value, on a South Coast marina berth, 44 engine hours a year (the median of 103 UK-listed sailing boats that report hours). An estimate in pounds from published rates, not a quote.
Each line is the middle of the cited range, to the nearest fifty pounds. Depreciation is a year of age on each model's published curve, at its Gauge Value, and stays out of the totals.
The Caliber 40 LRC has no published depreciation curve, so its depreciation is withheld.

Which spends less time on the market?
Boats of the Caliber 40 LRC had been listed a median of 36 days when we last saw them, against 26 days for the Catalina Yachts 42 MkII.

How do you compare them like for like?
We compare boats of the same build year. For each of the 11 years both models have boats in, we take the ratio of their median asking prices in today's prices, then pool the years, giving more weight to years with more boats on both sides. The figure is Indicative because the thinner side has 17 boats in those years.
