Hutting 45

Hutting 45

Design
As is the Hutting tradition, the Hutting 45 is characterized by markedly easy motion, high average speeds, immense structural integrity, and below-decks comfort.  She has had a distinctive evolution.  Starting with the balanced lines and well-proven sailing characteristics of the Hutting 40, the yard developed the Hutting 45 in collaboration with a group of Hutting owners.  A major aim was for greater capacity to accommodate long stays aboard.  Yacht architect Dick Koopmans was signed on for her final design.

Significant sail area
According to designer Dick Koopmans, “A real cruiser has a substantial sail area.”  The Hutting 45 has been equipped with a powerful cutter rig that allows progressive, balanced, sail-shortening with a minimal number of changes.  Reefing is a one-person job with her modern reefing and furling systems.

Below decks comfort
Naturally, the layout and finish below deck will reflect your preferences.  Teak, mahogany, walnut, or cherry?  Leather or alcantara?  Below deck we create an ambience that reflects your taste.  Using choice materials and finishes.

Proven quality equipment
Years of experience inform hardware selection and installation.  All materials and equipment are of proven quality and excellence.  Think “Holland Spar” handmade rigging, Goïot hatches and portlights, Lewmar and Andersen deck hardware, Maxwell windlasses, Yanmar engines, Mastervolt electrics, and B&G and Furuno instruments.  Only the best is chosen.

Aluminium construction for extreme seaworthiness
Our depth of skill and our understanding of materials are reflected in the quality and strength of construction, and the refinement of finish, of the Hutting 45.  She is built with tremendous structural strength for extreme seaworthiness, with no concession in her design to arbitrary regatta-handicap rules.  For the best balance between maximum stiffness and minimum weight, the deck and the flowing wineglass-section hull are constructed of seawater-grade aluminium alloy.  The interfaces between aluminium and other metals are carefully insulated to exclude corrosion.  The cockpit and cabin top are made of glass-fibre reinforced marine-ply/epoxy.  The centre of gravity is low, an essential inherent attribute that is reinforced by below-cabin-sole aluminium fuel and water tanks, and by a substantial aluminium-encapsulated lead keel.
