About the COREL 45
Farr design #369. AKA FARR 45. Also called IC45 in UK.
Designed by Farr Yacht Design, Ltd. and built by Carroll Marine (USA) in 1996, the Corel 45 is a performance-oriented fractional sloop with a displacement of 15294.0 lb. While the exact number of hulls built is unknown, the model is characterized by a LOA of 45.47 ft and a beam of 13.91 ft, offering a blend of speed and comfort with a comfort ratio of 16.99.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and short-handed racers who prioritize performance and are willing to manage significant maintenance, particularly regarding the rudder assembly and deck integrity.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 2.25 and a displacement of 15294.0 lb, the Corel 45 is structurally capable of offshore passage making, provided the critical rudder and deck core issues are thoroughly resolved.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other late-90s Farr designs like the O'Day 423 or Hunter 430, the Corel 45 shares a similar emphasis on fractional rig performance and interior volume, though it distinguishes itself with a heavier displacement and more robust construction.
