This 1981 Bruce Roberts Offshore 45 wasn't officially launched until 2004 into the fresh water lakes of Canada. She was not fully completed until 2009/10 when her mast was finally stepped and her sails bent on. She is a proven bluewater cruiser with classic lines, exceptional strength, comfort and capability. Professionally completed and extensively updated she combines the timeless appeal of the renowned Bruce Roberts design with modern systems and thoughtful cruising upgrades. Including NEW RIGGING 2024/25; NEW RUNING RIGGING 2025; NEW SPRAY HOOD BIMINI with sides; DEC 2024; NEW SEA PRO WATER-MAKER 2025; NEW ZAR MINI DINGHY 2025; MODIFIED SOLAR ARCH 2024; NEW RAY MARINE AXIOM CHART PLOTTER; TRI-DATA & AUTO PILOT 2024; NEW UPHOLSTERY 2025, NEW HEADLINING 2025; NEW STEERING CABLES & CONDUIT.

Designed and built for serious offshore passagemaking, she features a modified full keel offering excellent directional stability, strong tracking ability, and reassuring handling in heavy weather, while still maintaining good manoeuvrability under power. Her protected centre cockpit, powerful cutter rig, and robust construction make her exceptionally well suited to extended ocean cruising and comfortable liveaboard life. She is in excellent condition and only being sold due to a change in circumstances.
