The Swiss Cat 45 is handcrafted in a small yard in the south of France where only a few semi-custom cats are built each year. The hulls and deck are constructed in glass/epoxy over foam core sandwich; bulkheads and chainplates are carbon. There are very few yards in Europe today that build cruising boats to such a high standard using combinations of epoxy and carbon. This puts the Swiss Cat 45 in a quality class of its own that its peers simply cannot match.
The Swiss Cat 45 is handcrafted in a small yard in the south of France where only a few semi-custom cats are built each year. The hulls and deck are constructed in glass/epoxy over foam core sandwich; bulkheads and chainplates are carbon. There are very few yards in Europe today that build cruising boats to such a high standard using combinations of epoxy and carbon. This puts the Swiss Cat 45 in a quality class of its own that its peers simply cannot match. The epoxy build confers the necessary stiffness to the hulls and platform to get the most from the carbon mast, high-tech sails and deck hardware. All of this translates into performance underway and longevity.
The carbon mast and boom are by Southern Spars, the standing rigging is Kevlar. The running rigging is Spectra and she has a full suit of sails including main, staysail, genoa and gennaker.
Tali is an owner version with a 3 cabin and 2 head layout. She has had three owners and has never chartered. The quality of construction carries over to the interior finishes - Wenge floors, corian countertops, lacquered cabinets and alcantara fabrics. The cabinets and furniture are built at the factory. This is no IKEA finish nor ready-made, subcontracted modules that are found in so many production cats today.
