“Stellar” is a well-kept 2011 Formula 45 Yacht showing just 359 hours on her twin Volvo Penta IPS600 diesels, with the benefit of indoor winter storage every season.
A pair of 435 hp D6 diesels on Volvo’s IPS pod-drive system gives her strong performance and easy handling. She gets on plane quickly, cruises efficiently at 27 knots while burning 37 gph, and tops out just over 30 knots. The joystick docking makes close-quarters maneuvering simple, even single-handed.
At 48’2″ overall on a 13’11” beam, the 45 Yacht pairs the signature coupe-top hardtop, motorized glass sunroof, and walk-through windshield with a full Sunbrella camper enclosure and Eisenglass for all-weather use. Topside, twin chaise-style sunpads on the foredeck, a U-shaped cockpit lounge with wet bar and flat-screen TV, and synthetic teak decking make her a natural for entertaining. Below, two private staterooms and two heads sleep up to six.
Standard equipment includes the factory generator, reverse-cycle air conditioning and heat, electric windlass, hydraulic swim platform, Raymarine navigation, ACVision satellite TV, and cockpit stereo with transom-mount speakers. Displacement is 31,800 lbs, and all systems are serviced and operational.
With low hours and indoor winter storage, “Stellar” presents as one of the cleaner 45 Yachts on the market.
