Description
This Sun Odyssey 45 is the ultimate "turnkey" offshore family cruiser. Having spent most of its life as a coastal cruiser, she was recently fitted out for blue water cruising. Having just returned from a successful season cruising the Pacific, she is fully dialed-in, battle-tested, and ready to go again tomorrow.
Unlike standard coastal cruisers, this vessel was meticulously upgraded to meet the stringent New Zealand IVC (In-Vessel Check) requirements for offshore passage-making. Every system has been scrutinized for safety and self-sufficiency, allowing your family to live the dream in total confidence.
The Ultimate Family Platform:
- Self-Sufficient Living: Solar and systems configured for remote, off-grid living.
- Proven Reliability: Fresh from a Pacific circuit; all "blue water" kinks have been professionally ironed out.
- Effortless Handling: Designed for short-handed sailing with all lines leading to the cockpit.
- NZ registered, taxes paid: No hidden costs to import the boat when you re-enter the country from offshore.
The twin-helm design and wide sugar-scoop for safety and easy swimming access.
