The C&L Explorer 45, often identified as the Huntingford 45, is a quintessential example of the "Taiwanese traditional" era of yacht building. Designed by the respected Canadian naval architect Stan Huntingford and constructed by C&L Marine Corp, the vessel was produced in limited numbers—approximately 30 to 35 hulls—between 1977 and 1982. It is immediately recognizable by its distinctive "plank-lined" fiberglass hull, which features molded-in lines that mimic traditional wooden construction. This aesthetic choice, combined with a heavy displacement and a long, full-keel underbody, places the Explorer 45 firmly in the category of dedicated blue-water cruisers intended for long-term liveaboard voyaging.
