A winner on the course, a luxurious cruiser on vacation.
Are you looking for the ultimate combination of extreme racing performance and first-class living comfort? This unique Dehler 45 has undergone massive upgrades in recent years and is now maximized to perform at the top level, whether you are aiming for a podium finish in the next race, or planning a comfortable summer with the family.
This is no standard boat. With a new carbon fiber mast and boom from Marström (2021) that cuts a full 150 kg in the rig, a new deep carbon fiber racing rudder (2025) and an advanced NKE/Sailmon instrument system, this is a machine built for speed and precision.
The genius lies in the flexibility: Before the race, you simply remove both anchors and attach the racing forestay. When it's time for vacation, roll out the UBI forestay (2024), enjoy double refrigerators, new electric toilet (2024) and sleep royally on pocket sprung mattresses in the forepeak.
The interior in light oak with light leather upholstery gives a fantastic feeling of space and exclusivity that stands up incredibly well.
This Dehler 45 must be experienced. It is a rare opportunity to acquire a boat where the previous owner has already made the heavy investments to create the perfect Cruiser/Racer. Stored indoors in a cold storage since new.
