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 performance keels—not your average catamaran keels; they are built strong and offer daggerboard-like performance. The sugar scoops on the transom were extended by three 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. Her current owners, who acquired her in Tahiti in 2021, invested significantly in a thorough overhaul, ensuring she is ready for long-distance adventures with the comforts of a liveaboard. From her reinforced hull to upgraded rigging and strengthened structural elements, Capella’s structural integrity offers stability and robustness in all conditions.
Inside, Capella provides the comforts of home. The spacious galley and systems make meal preparation easy, and a reliable watermaker guarantees fresh water. Navigating is a breeze with a modern suite of navigation and communication electronics that ensure smooth passages and safety in remote areas. Comprehensive safety systems offer peace of mind on every voyage.
Energy independence is key to Capella’s design, with robust energy generation and storage systems that make her nearly self-sufficient. The cockpit, designed for relaxation and practicality, offers comfortable seating, protective awnings, and a swim platform with a sugar-scoop stern for easy water access. For sun protection, the cockpit provides generous headroom. Capella’s performance-oriented rigging and sails are supported by lightweight, strong standing rigging for strength and easy inspection.
Mechanically sound, Capella has received recent servicing to key systems and is equipped with reliable steering and propulsion arrangements and multiple safety redundancies. 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, 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.
