This 1981 Bruce Roberts Offshore 45 is a fiberglass sailing yacht built to classic design principles for serious offshore cruising. The hull features a modified full keel that provides excellent directional stability and strong tracking, while remaining manageable under power. The boat carries a powerful cutter rig and a protected centre cockpit, combining robust construction with the seaworthiness needed for extended ocean passages and comfortable long-term cruising.
The layout includes two cabins and one head, accommodating those seeking a capable bluewater cruiser. Below deck, the boat is furnished with modern systems and thoughtful upgrades throughout. A 54-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine provides auxiliary power.
Recent and ongoing updates include new rigging and running rigging completed in 2024 and 2025, a new spray hood bimini with sides, a Sea Pro water-maker, Ray Marine Axiom chart plotter with tri-data and autopilot, and modified solar arch. The interior has received new upholstery and headlining in 2025, while steering cables and conduit were also renewed. A new Zar mini dinghy is included. The boat presents in excellent condition.
