Bestevaer 45 S/Y

Bestevaer 45 S/Y

     An aluminum yacht designed for short-handed, long-distance voyaging in cold climates, but equally at home in the tropics. The 45 S/Y is the successor of the legendary Bestevaer II and is known for its comfort, strength and performance. She is fast in strong breezes but is able to maintain a good turn of speed in both light and moderate conditions, a result of her moderate displacement and large efficient sail area. The 45 S/Y was nominated for the European Sailing Yacht of the Year Award.

Key Features

• Fold down swimming platform – Lower the manually operated swim platform to extend the level floor up to the waterline. Unrestricted views over the water, dock a tender, or take a refreshing morning nap
• Lines led aft to cockpit – All sail handling operations from one central position in the cockpit, including reefing. No need to go forward on the deck in heavy weather, perfect and safe for single or short-handed use
• Protected rudder stock and engine – The rudder stock and engine are placed above the waterline in a watertight compartment, ensuring use of the engine should water ingress occur in the aft compartment
• Enhanced comfort – The tiller is standard, a cockpit over three meters long and a superstructure that offers plenty of protection
• Sheltered cockpit – Feel secure and safe under sail and at sea. The deep, safe and sheltered cockpit with a fixed dodger and integral pilot house provides shelter from spray and wind
• Pilothouse with 360-degree view – Integral to the Bestevaer design is the pilothouse with an all-around view. It enables navigation of the yacht in the coldest of areas from inside a warm and protected environment
• Aluminum from A to Z – The hull, pilothouse, superstructure and rudder are fully constructed from aluminum. A material known for being strong, light weight, low maintenance, environmentally friendly and incredibly good looking
• Fully ballasted keels – Choose between a fixed or centerboard keel. Both keels are fully ballasted at a ratio of almost 40% ensuring excellent sailing qualities
• Safety first – Integrated chainplates, bulkheads, aluminum bollards, diesel tanks, exterior handholds and thru-hull fittings. Strength, safety and reliability are what make Bestevaer stand out
• Watertight bulkheads – Safety is paramount on the water. To avoid ingress of water, the yacht is fitted with 2 watertight bulkheads in aft and bow, equaling 3 watertight compartments. For those looking for extra security an additional masthead bulkhead with watertight bulkhead can be added
• Ample storage space – With a large sail locker in the bow and deep lazarette’s in the aft there’s ample space for bikes, toys, tools and provisions. Additionally, one of the interior aft cabins can be converted to a functional storage room
