2015 Mills 45

HALBTROCKEN" (ex-Concubine), launched in mid 2015, is certainly an impressive grand-prix racer in the mid-40ft category.Equally at home both inshore and offshore, HALBTROCKEN is a full carbon, high-end build from Premier Composites, that was originally penned to be an IRC winning boat competing in Australia's top regattas. Her early career was "mission achieved" before being sold to her current German owner who has focused on ORCi with incredible success culminating in victory at the ORCi World Champs in 2021.Along with a high-spec Harken deck package and full inshore and offshore GP sail inventories, she is a boat that can also easily switch between inshore and offshore configurations and thanks to her topside height and interior volume, she is very comfortable and capable compared to some of her peers.If you want a boat that has the chance of winning some of yachting's most iconic races, this boats needs a second look!Exclusively listed with Ancasta Race Boats.

The Mills 45 is a high volume boat compared to her rivals at 45/46ft and that largely stems from the slightly higher freeboard, giving the boat a really solid feel in a sea way. Some good camber on deck also pushes that interior volume up and affords crews a very functional space below deck, whilst still maintaining that flush deck aesthetic and low windage feature.
