If you're searching for a capable long-range cruising catamaran that has benefited from significant recent investment, this 2005 Stanyon 45 deserves your attention. Designed and built in Brisbane by Classic Yachts, the Stanyon 45 combines comfortable liveaboard accommodation with economical cruising performance and the reliability of twin Yanmar diesel power.
Powered by twin 315hp Yanmar diesels (630hp total), this vessel cruises comfortably at around 16 knots while offering the confidence and redundancy that serious coastal cruisers demand. Both engines have received Yanmar cooling system upgrades, with heat exchangers and after-coolers serviced, new hoses and belts fitted, and a new Raycor fuel filtration system installed.
The vessel is exceptionally well-equipped for extended cruising, featuring a Mase 6.5kVA generator, Victron inverter/charger system, Victron monitoring, 610 watts of solar power and a bank of eight new AGM batteries. Air conditioning, a water maker, generous refrigeration and freezer capacity, and a well-appointed galley make life aboard comfortable whether you're weekend cruising or spending months away from the marina.
Navigation and electronics have also been modernised with Raymarine HybridTouch and Dragonfly systems, Raymarine autopilot, new radar, dual VHF radios, chain counter and a recently rebuilt Maxwell electric windlass.
