Owner Experience Review
Owners and reviewers position the 45 OPENbyFairlineas a versatile owner‑operated sportscruiser. The two‑cabin, two‑head layout with a generous full‑beam owner’s suite suits family weekending for up to four, while the large open cockpit, sunbeds and electric soft‑top make it a natural for day trips and entertaining. A tender garage adds practical shore access for beach runs and errands, and several reports note it’s easy for two people to handle.
Underway, independent reviews record a comfortable cruise in the mid‑20s knots with top speeds in the low 30s on Volvo Penta IPS. Joystick docking and close‑quarters manoeuvrability are widely praised, and test notes highlight good helm ergonomics and a practical galley‑to‑cockpit flow that keeps the social spaces connected underway and at anchor.
The ownership picture isn’t without caveats. Experienced owners flag limited storage/lazarette space (often attributed to the IPS arrangement), and forum posts mention IPS pod seal work and occasional emulsified drive oil, alongside routine Volvo Penta D6 cooler/heat‑exchanger service. There’s also a forum‑discussed early‑boat incident in 2020 that led some owners to stress thorough surveys and PDI checks; causes were debated on the forum, but the takeaway is careful inspection.
