The Vindö 45 represents the sophisticated sunset of a legendary Swedish boatbuilding era. Launched in 1981 and designed by John H. Lindblom, this 33foot 8inch masthead sloop was a strategic departure from the earlier Carl Andersson designs that defined the Nötesunds Varv yard for decades. While earlier models like the Vindö 32 and 40 were purely traditional, the 45 sought to blend the brand’s signature "Orust" craftsmanship—specifically the iconic mahogany coachroof and teak decks—with a more modern hull shape and increased volume. Measuring 10.28 meters overall with a generous 3.33meter beam, the boat is often confused with larger vessels due to its "45" nomenclature, which actually refers to its sail area in square meters rather than its length. It remains one of the most soughtafter models for sailors who demand the aesthetic of a wooden yacht with the structural integrity of a GRP hull, as detailed in the historical archives of Vindö Marin.
