PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION AWAITING SELLER APPROVAL
The powerful hull lines of the Sun Odyssey 45 DS were perfected by Naval Architect Philippe Briand to ensure exceptional stability and comfort at sea.
"Shadow of Cowes" is the highly sought after 2-cabin version of this magnificent, seaworthy sailboat. With just 2 private owners and having never been raced or chartered, she is powerfully rigged with a performance mast and fully battened mainsail, offering exceptional light air sailing whilst retaining easy handling with a short-handed crew.
The yachts inventory includes Bow-thruster, water-maker and the latest electronics. The owner has now had a change of circumstances and so presents the opportunity for a purchaser to take ownership of a superb example of the marque.
