Description
The Dehler 45 is one of the most successful sailboats in the cruiser-racer category, known for its excellent balance between performance, build quality, and cruising comfort.
Designed by the Simonis Voogd Design office and built by the German shipyard Dehler Yachts, it benefits from serious "Made in Germany" construction, a high-performance sail plan, and a deck optimized for efficient sailing with a reduced crew.
This 2011 unit is part of the last series produced directly by Dehler before the integration into the HanseYachts AG group, a period recognized for the particularly high manufacturing quality of the shipyard.
With a length of 13.70 m, a width of 3.86 m, and a bulb keel with a draft of 2.20 m, the Dehler 45 offers excellent course stability, very good performance, even in light winds, and a healthy and balanced seakeeping behavior. Its double wheel steering provides precise feedback and makes this boat particularly enjoyable to steer.
The Dehler 45 is now rare on the market, particularly in this condition and with this equipment.
This boat is a first-hand unit, never rented or used in regattas, only for family and local use.
It has received meticulous maintenance by professionals throughout its life (invoices available).
Bottom maintenance performed every year, with sanding of the underwater parts and polishing of the hull.
