Overview
The Oceanis 45 won the prestigious 2012 European Sailboat of the Year award in the family cruiser category. Great Bliss is sleek and beamy with hard chines above the waterline, mainsheet arches and a low-profile coachroof. Shes an attractive, well-conceived cruising boat that appeals to sailors who like clean modern styling combined with conventional accommodations. The large, practical fold-down transom is particularly helpful to families who like to spend time in the water and will also find favor with those who put a premium on easy tender access. She is well equipped and ready for her 2nd owner. Please call for an appointment to see her.
Construction
The hull is solid fiberglass set in polyester, while the deck, also fiberglass, is injection-molded and cored with end-grain balsa. The hull-deck joint is bonded with adhesive and fastened with screws. The hull is stiffened with a monolithic inner structural molding that is bonded in place. The keel, with cast-iron ballast, is bolted on with stainless steel fasteners and backing plates. The stock for the single spade rudder is fiberglass. The 9/10ths fractional rig features an aluminum mast with double spreaders and discontinuous stainless steel standing rigging.
On Deck
The deck and cockpit layout is clean and functional. All hatches forward of the companionway are flush with the deck, in the contemporary style. All working lines run aft, with the jibsheets coming to self-tailing winches on the cockpit coamings within easy reach of the twin helm stations aft. All other lines, including mainsail controls, come to a pair of winches on the coachroof either side of the companionway.
The cockpit is very wide and has a large fixed table with folding leaves, so crew can easily brace themselves to windward when the boat is heeled.
Helm ergonomics are good, with clear sightlines forward and a mix of comfortable steering positions. A long bench seat directly abaft the wheels makes it easy for others to come aft and socialize with the helmsperson.
The cockpits electrically controlled full-width fold-down transom is a nice feature. With just a touch of a button, the entire transom, including that bench seat behind the helms, folds down flat to form an immense teak-covered beach that sits nearly flush with the water. This makes it very easy for small pets and even infants to crawl on and off the boat from a tender.
Accommodations
Great Bliss has three staterooms with two heads. Two aft staterooms with lots of light and headroom and proper double berths that dont have bites taken out of them to accommodate the engine space. The starboard aft stateroom has direct access to the 2nd head. The forward stateroom is very roomy with lots of private storage, a generous island double berth and a private ensuite head and shower.
Galley
The well-equipped galley is just forward of the port aft stateroom.
