It's not difficult to see why, said PBS, when you realise they offer: ease of handling; a quality finish; exceptional value; superb sailing performance; and, the best owner's cabin of any aft cockpit yachts.

The new 45DS continues this concept with a higher level of interior finish that is exceptional in comparison to its nearest rivals, said PBS.

With a limited number available to the Australian market in the first year of production, PBS said to contact them now.

The first three-cabin model is due here this month, with the first two-cabin ex-factory in March next year.

The 45DS has a length overall of 45ft1in, beam of 4.37m, draft of 2.05m; displacement of 10,400kg; a 54hp Yanmar engine and sail area of 89.9m².
