No-Nonsense Downeast Elegance - Poetry in Motion
There are boats that follow trends, and there are boats that transcend them. This handsome 45-foot flybridge cruiser, designed by renowned Maine naval architect Robert F. Rich and built in 1976 by the master craftsmen of Bass Harbor Boat Works, represents the very best of traditional Downeast boatbuilding. She is no-nonsense Downeast elegance-poetry in motion.
Constructed with cedar planking over robust oak frames and secured with bronze fastenings, she embodies the timeless strength, beauty, and integrity of Maine's wooden boatbuilding heritage. Her decks are built of Douglas fir and marine plywood, sheathed in fiberglass for durability and ease of maintenance while preserving her classic character.
Power comes from a dependable 2008 Yanmar 6LY-STE, 350 HP diesel engine showing only 1,800 hours. Efficient and economical underway, she cruises comfortably at 12 knots and reaches a top speed of approximately 15 knots, making her equally suited for leisurely coastal cruising or longer passages.
Designed with both comfort and practicality in mind, her spacious three-stateroom, two-head layout provides exceptional accommodations for family and guests alike. The interior offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the generous separation between cabins provides welcome privacy for extended cruising.
Above deck, her enormous cockpit offers ample space for fishing, entertaining, or simply enjoying life on the water. The flybridge provides excellent visibility underway and a commanding view of your surroundings, while the expansive foredeck creates yet another gathering space for relaxing, or watching the sunset.
Whether you're seeking a capable coastal cruiser, a comfortable family yacht, or a classic wooden Downeast vessel with undeniable pedigree, this Bass Harbor-built Robert Rich design delivers a rare combination of craftsmanship, seaworthiness, and timeless style.
She is not merely a boat-she is a piece of Maine maritime history, lovingly built to endure and ready for her next chapter on the water.
