For every kind of adventure

The 745 Centreboard provides the best of both worlds - the convenience of shallow-draft and the benefits of serious upwind performance with her centreboard. Reducing the standard keel draft from 3.10m/10’2” to a remarkable 1.98m/6’.6” with centreboard up, means you can anchor anywhere you choose with complete confidence. The retractable centreboard is raised and lowered at the touch of a button from the helm station. The centreboard swings up inside the shallow-draft ballast keel to give you maximum clearance of the seabed – all without compromising the openness and spaciousness of the 745 layout and interior joinery.
