The Coronado 45 stands as the pinnacle of the Coronado Yachts lineup, representing the final, most ambitious era of the brand before its dissolution in the mid1970s. Produced primarily between 1974 and 1976 under the stewardship of the Whittaker Corporation, the vessel was a direct sibling to the Columbia 45, utilizing the same William H. Tripp Jr. designed hull. While many earlier Coronado models were entrylevel cruisers focused on trailerability and costefficiency, the 45 was a transition into the "motorsailer" category—a massive, highvolume centercockpit yacht designed for longrange cruising and liveaboard comfort. By the time this model was released, Coronado had moved production to Columbia's facilities, resulting in a boat that shared the robust, heavyscantling construction typical of the Columbia brand while maintaining the Coronado emphasis on interior ergonomics.
