The Classic 45 is the long keel version of the R45. With ample room to carry 800lts of water and 600lts of fuel this design is capable of being self sufficient for extended periods. A glance at version A will give you a fair idea where it's name was derived from. The construction plans are well detailed and this design is still worthy of consideration by those after comfort and safety in a fiberglass hull.

The plans come for construction in any of the fibreglass methods- C-Flex, Single Skin or Foam Sandwich.

The various rigs; schooner, ketch or cutter are interchangeable between the short keel version (see Roberts 45 ) and this design.

The SUPER STUDY PLAN PACKAGE has details of all of the construction techniques and includes materials lists, and accommodation layouts Only $45 plus postage.
