The Seafarer 45 represents the high-water mark of Seafarer Fiberglass Yachts’ early era, a period defined by the company’s transition from a boutique importer to a serious manufacturer of blue-water cruisers. Designed by the legendary firm of Sparkman & Stephens (Design #1601), the Seafarer 45 was conceived during the 1960s as a premier ocean-going yacht that combined the sleek aesthetics of the CCA (Cruising Club of America) rating rule with the emerging benefits of fiberglass construction. While later Seafarer models would be penned by McCurdy & Rhodes, the 45 remains a quintessential S&S design, characterized by long, elegant overhangs, a narrow beam relative to its length, and a graceful sheer line. Most hulls were built by the Amsterdam Shipyard G. de Vries Lentsch Jr. in the Netherlands before being finished or distributed by Seafarer in New York, lending the vessel a level of European joinery and fit-out that distinguished it from many contemporary American builds.
