An aluminium yacht designed for short-handed, long distance voyaging in cold climates, but equally at home in the tropics. The 45 S/Y is the successor of the legendary Bestevaer II and is known for its comfort, strength and performance. She is fast in strong breezes, but is able to maintain a good turn of speed in both light and moderate conditions, a result of her moderate displacement and large efficient sail area.
The 45 S/Y was nominated for the European Sailing Yacht of the Year Award.

Special Features

ALUMINIUM FROM A to Z
The hull, pilot house, superstructure and rudder are fully constructed from aluminium. A material known for being strong, light weight and stiff, low maintenance, environmentally friendly, and incredibly good-looking.
Fold down swimming platform
Lower the manually operated swim platform to extend the level floor up to the waterline. Unrestricted views over the water, dock a tender, or take a refreshing morning swim.
Lines led aft to cockpit
All sail handling operations from one central position in the cockpit, including reefing. No need to go forward on the deck in heavy weather, perfect and safe for single or short-handed use.
Protected rudder stock and engine
The rudder stock and engine are placed above the waterline in a watertight compartment. Ensuring use of the engine should water ingress occur in the aft compartment.
Sheltered cockpit
Feel secure and safe under sail and at sea. The deep, safe and sheltered cockpit with a fixed dodger and integral pilot house provides shelter from spray and wind.
Pilothouse with 360° view
Integral to the Bestevaer design is the pilothouse with an all-around view. It enables navigation of the yacht in the coldest of areas from inside a warm and protected environment.
Fully ballasted keels
Choose between a fixed or centreboard keel. Both keels are fully ballasted at a ratio of almost 40% ensuring excellent sailing qualities.
Safety first
Integrated chainplates, bulkheads, aluminium bollards, diesel tanks, exterior handholds and through-hull fittings. Strength, safety and reliability are what make a Bestevaer stand out.
Watertight bulkheads
Safety is paramount on the water. To avoid ingress of water, the yacht is fitted with 2 watertight bulkheads in aft and bow, equalling 3 watertight compartments. For those looking for extra security an additional masthead bulkhead with watertight door can be fitted.
Ample storage space
With a large sail locker in the bow and deep lazarette's in the aft there’s ample space for bikes, toys, tools and provisions. Additionally, one of the interior aft cabins can be converted to a functional storage room.
Keel
You can choose between a fixed keel or a centreboard. The fixed keel has a ballast ratio of 38% (5.050 kg). The centreboard keel has a ballast ratio of 37% (4.850 kg). The centreboard keel is fully ballasted to ensure excellent sailing qualities.
Layout Options
Choose between an extra cabin or storage space in the port side aft. Also you can choose between a French or side placed bed.

Tiller or Wheel
It’s mostly a matter of one´s personal taste: tiller or wheel steering. Go for the tiller if you seek a fast, agile sailing experience with a large cockpit. Looking for comfort or are you not used to a tiller? Then the wheel is your best fit.
