Experience the thrill of sailing with this rare 1990 Yamaha 45' Sailboat, based on Farr 44' a masterpiece crafted by renowned designer Bruce Farr and built by New Zealand yacht expert Ian Cook. Originally commissioned by Yamaha to enter the luxury yacht market, this boat is the only one of its kind, having been displayed at the 1990 Tokyo Boat Show before the economic downturn halted production. Her journey is rich with history, and after years with her first owner in Japan, she was brought to Guam, where we took on the honor of restoring her. Now meticulously maintained and outfitted with modern enhancements, she is in prime condition for new adventures.
Her current owners have invested substantial effort into restoring and upgrading this vessel, ensuring she remains in peak condition. Recent upgrades include a galley rebuild, fresh teak caulking, and a complete hull and deck repaint. Outfitted with a 600W solar panel array, a LiPoFe4 battery system, and a new mainsail, she also features a full sail inventory including headsails, symmetrical and asymmetrical spinnakers, a storm sail, and a spare genoa, making her exceptionally versatile and capable of handling extended voyages.
Ideal for experienced sailors drawn to speed, agility, and unique craftsmanship, this Yamaha 45' has been lovingly maintained since 2016, providing unforgettable memories in the Marianas Islands and Cebu. Ready for new horizons, she offers not only remarkable sailing performance but also a story as deep as the waters she traverses—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a yacht with character and pedigree.
