Built in Breskens, Netherlands  by Maas Bros in 1960, this vessel was one of the last Hugh Angelman designs in his retirement years. The vessel scantlings are sustantial relative to her size, exceeding those to be expected in a 45' vessel.  

From the spacious cockpit enter through the companionway to starboard and find to starboard the refrigeration and freezer compartments and a wet locker. The U-shaped galley is to port, equipped with a 2-burner LPG gimbaled stove, oven and stainless sink. The engine compartment is centerline below the galley counter. Forward is the salon with a dinette to port and settee to starboard, and in the forepeak is a double berth and open head.

There are 11 opening bronze ports, 3 opening hatches and one butterfly hatch providing excellent ventilation. The forepeak head has a 24 gallon holding tank with macerator and overboard seacock plus discharge deck fitting.

Gorgeous beaming throughout, and purple heart soles.
