Description
Introducing Capella, a meticulously updated offshore capable Outremer 45, crafted for sailors who crave genuine performance, reliability, and comfort. Designed by Gerard Danson for strength and speed, Capella has the performance keels, these are not your average catamaran keels. They are built strong, and offer daggerboard-like performance. The sugar scoops on the transom were extended by 3 feet to increase performance and provide a better swim platform.
Capella is perfect for both bluewater passages and coastal cruising, combining the thrill of real sailing with peace of mind for safety. Her current owners, who acquired her in Tahiti in 2021, invested significantly in a thorough overhaul, ensuring she's ready for long-distance adventures with the comforts of a liveaboard. From her reinforced hull to new Dyneema rigging and an upgraded beam and seagull striker, Capella’s structural integrity offers stability and robustness in all conditions.
Inside, Capella provides the comforts of home. The spacious galley features a stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, and even an icemaker, making meal preparation easy. A 100-liter-per-hour watermaker guarantees fresh water. Navigating is a breeze with a suite of Raymarine electronics, including autopilot, dual chart plotters, AIS, and Starlink satellite communication, ensuring smooth passages and safety in remote areas. Additional safety equipment includes an EPIRB, deck lights, and fume detectors, offering peace of mind on every voyage.
Energy independence is key to Capella's design, boasting solar panels producing 1000W, a 3000W Victron inverter, lithium batteries, and engine alternators, making her nearly self-sufficient. The cockpit, designed for relaxation and practicality, features new cushions, a three-sided awning, and a swim platform with a sugar-scoop stern for easy water access. For sun protection, the bimini offers over six feet of headroom. Capella’s performance-oriented rigging includes a carbon Technora mainsail, self-tacking jib, and spinnaker, all supported by lightweight Dyneema rigging for strength and easy inspection.
Mechanically sound, Capella includes a new starter motor, water pump, hydraulic steering, and Variprop folding propellers. Multiple bilge pumps, fire extinguishers, and an emergency tiller enhance safety. Built with a solid fiberglass hull, Capella’s performance keels withstand groundings and provide excellent upwind performance, with enough stability for beaching when maintenance is needed. In 2022, her mast, boom, and rigging were comprehensively overhauled, showcasing her readiness for sea with every joint inspected and treated against corrosion.
Capella’s proven seaworthiness is evident in her six-month circumnavigation of Fiji without a single issue, reflecting her reliability and capability for true ocean cruising. Ideal for families or performance-minded sailors, she is a vessel that embodies adventure, comfort, and the timeless beauty of quality craftsmanship.
