2003 Outremer 45

Performance, Pedigree, and Comfort Delphine is a winner! She won her division at the inaugural Caribbean Multihull Challenge in St Marten and twice won the catamaran division in Grenada Sailing week. Light displacement, narrow hulls and daggerboards allow for impressive speeds, even in light winds. The cockpit is well-protected for safe sailing in open water and comfort at anchor. The salon and nav station occupy the light, airy main living area. The u-shaped settee has overstuffed cushions and large dining table for entertaining. She has a unique layout with a huge galley down in the aft starboard cabin. An ample double stainless steel sink keeps things tidy. Any chef will admire the privacy, the amount of counter space for prep work and the storage arrangement. There is a twin bunk midships and a single cabin forward. The port side is the owner's space and includes a fresh water, electric head. The Gerard Danson designs are considered by some to be the perfect combination of speed and comfort .The long slender hulls track very well and enable good speeds on passages a steady 8-10 is not unusual and the upper teens have been achieved with out fuss. The Outremer 45 is one of the most popular, sought after models on the used market. Thrilling under sail and comfortable at anchor. What more do you need? Delphine is a very well cared for sailing machine to be enjoyed by the adventurous sailor. When we purchased Delphine a thorough refit of key elements of the boat was done including taking the hull down to gelcoat (below waterline and coat it with west epoxy.) New bushings for the rudders were installed ( spare set on board). The sail drives taken apart and rebuilt including the membranes, the fuel tanks emptied and cleaned as well as new fuel and water pumps .After the initial baseline work was done we continued to improve the boat each year as needed/wanted this included ,engine controls the fitting of the serpentine belts ,new mixing elbows the 120 amp alternators(2019) with serpentine belts and balmar regulators, and the rebuild of the windlass (2020) . The engines are flushed with fresh water after haul out and the oil is changed every year even of the hours don’t require it . The outboard is serviced every year and stored in a climate controlled location along with the tender. New sails were bent on at time of purchase and are stored in a climate controlled environment for the nine months of the year they are not in use .sun covers that are a godsend while at anchor and the back screen (2022). One of the reasons that Delphine looks so good is the fact that it has a custom storage cover that is also stored in climate controlled area.the running rigging was changed at this time. We have continued to improve Delphine with updated electronics, including chart plotter , vesper x8000 Ais ,speed depth and wind , programable dual voltage 60 amp charger victron solar controllers ,smart shunt 1200 watt 110 inverter and battery monitor.
