M-SERIES OCEAN SERIES

“A true sailor’s boat… that will carry a family to a first-in-class regatta or safely around the world.” - Blue Water Sailing

Welcome to the OS 45 Designed as a fast and extremely durable performance yacht, the Ocean Series 45 is also highly qualified for long distance adventures. Cruising-oriented design elements include a modest draft, a spacious raised pilothouse, and a wonderful view of the surroundings through exceptionally large, strong, tempered safetyglass windows. Additionally, she is fitted with a complete and luxurious interior, including an enclosed head with shower, a fully appointed galley with ample refrigeration, corian or marble countertops, microwave and convection ovens, and many stowage compartments....

Her complete interior includes a very large galley with vast amount of usable corian and marble countertop space, a gourmet chef’s delight, as well as a microwave, a convection oven,...

The hollow stainless upper half is present so that the yacht has an effective sump to contain bilge water, while stability with the huge bulb is very powerful, eliminating the need to keep a crew of ten on the rail when sailing to windward. The rig in its racing...
