About Carpe Diem

<p>Beautiful, Handcrafted Sailboat, Built in Sweden</p><p><br></p><p>This boat has been well cared for and stored inside in a heated barn for the last 18 years since the current owner purchased her.&nbsp;Improvements have been made to her every year including refurbished teak decks, new engine, new spars and sails, and more.</p><p><br></p><p>The Vindo 45 is an exceptional example of Swedish craftsmanship. In his book, "The World’s Best Sailboats", Ferenc Maté, stated “If you were to ask most sailors to tell you in one phrase how they’d like their fiberglass boats built, they would tell you without hesitation, “out of wood”. Vindö Yachts of Sweden have done just that as far as is humanly possible. They have combined strength and longevity of fiberglass hulls and cockpits and a partial deck with the beauty of magnificently crafted varnished mahogany house and teak housetops and teak decks, to create some of the prettiest yachts in the world today."</p><p><br></p><p>With her roller furling mainsail and roller furling jib, this boat can be easily sailed short-handed without having to leave the cockpit.&nbsp;Further, with her full length keel and 42% ballast / displacement ratio she sails well and is as comfortable offshore as simply day sailing around the bay.</p> <br> <i> Resolute Yachting is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel.
