About the DEHLER 45
Draft Racing: 2,50 m/8.2' Draft Shallow 1,90 m/6.23' A number of interior options available.
The Dehler 45 is a modern cruising yacht designed by Simonis Voogd and built by Dehler, with production records indicating a build year of 2010. While the exact total hull count is unspecified in available data, this model represents a specific iteration of Dehler's performance-oriented cruising line.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize a fractional sloop rig and manageable displacement for weekend getaways or short offshore passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 21385.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.83, the Dehler 45 offers moderate offshore stability, though its fin keel and relatively light displacement suggest it is better suited for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats from this era include the Beneteau 46 and Jeanneau 46.5, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and target the same market of sailors seeking a balance between speed and comfort.
