Whatever wind angle you're on, the Oceanis 45 - Wind Shadow is a balanced fast sailing yacht. A very well-proportioned cruiser, she leaves in her wake some very fine performances and lasting family memories.
Wind Shadow's experienced owner ordered her for just those very reasons and went on to equip her with two things in mind - comfort and safety for his family.
From her upgraded Orca navigation tablets, full B&G electronics, 4 electric winches, her extensive list of safety gear to her huge cockpit complete with refrigerator and amazing electrically controlled swimming platform - safety and comfort are the recurring themes one feels while onboard Wind Shadow. Her unique cockpit is protected by her arch- dodger and full navy canvas and made complete by her navy cockpit cushions that are in very good condition. Lastly, the Mainsheet is on the arch which makes for very safe sail handling from the helm
Moving below to her warm, inviting 3 Cabin - 2 Head interior you immediately feel at home. The main salon is a large and versatile space with a place for everyone in the family. Her interior finishes and upholstery are in excellent condition and show that she's been well loved and cared for.
No expense was spared - She's been professionally serviced beginning and end of each season, either at Norwalk Cove Marina where she lies today or Liberty Landing. She has been professionally winterized and stored out of the water each winter under shrink wrap.
Windshadow has been expertly prepared, upgraded and is ready to go - just add a destination and wind!
