1986 FAST YACHTS 345 SAILBOAT
St. Augustine, FL
Interactive Virtual Tour inside and out of the boat available upon request.
Excellent performance cruiser with large aft Cabin,
L: 34.5 ft B: 11.0 ft D: 6 ft.
Originally designed by Ron Holland (noted designer of numerous famous boats including America’s Cup boats and Swan sailboats) for Camper and Nicholson as the C&N 345. Built in Sao Paolo, Brazil under the supervision of C&N engineers by Fast Yachts.
Constructed of vacuum bagged fiberglass with beautiful ash and teak interior.
All the way forward is a conventional V-berth with storage underneath.
Next aft is a full width, fiberglass lined head compartment with Raritan electric toilet, pressure water, Whale sink pump, hot and cold, to shower and sink.
On both port and starboard sides are 6’6” settees with a fold down teak table and storage lockers and shelves above. Below these are the tanks, 40 gallons of water, 40 gallons of diesel. Headroom in the salon is an incredible 6’5”.
On the starboard side is the galley with ENO propane 3 burner stove with oven, a large ice box, and sink.
On the port side is a sit-down navigation station with desk. Xantec inverter/charger is located under the seat and you will also find the VHF radio and stereo with Bluetooth and app control.
Aft is an incredible aft cabin with sitting headroom and a large full size berth.
The 345 is the only yacht I know of 34’ ish to have over 6 feet of headroom in the saloon - on the center line, in the area directly in front of the engine box, the headroom is all of 6’7”. This is thanks to the high free board, which appears to be a Ron Holland trademark of that era.
Complete history of the previous owners, as well as various service documents for the boat - including a personal letter from the original owners who commissioned the boat to the tune of $106,000 USD in 1986.
Equipment: The engine is a 35 hp, 3 cyl, Yanmar diesel engine. All rigging has been replaced with oversize 316 stainless steel with Norseman rebuild-able fittings (similar to but better than Sta-locks). There are 3 self-tailing winches on the coach roof for halyards and 2 self tailing sheet winches. Electronics in the cockpit will need to be replaced due to sun damage. Depth finder is new and in working condition.
There is a Garhauer rigid boom vang.
All windows and hatches replaced. Sails (Main and padded roller furling 145%), original mainsail with double reef points and jiffy reefing system and is in decent condition.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Originally the NICHOLSON 345, an IOR race boat in the late ‘70’s. Changes in the IOR rule left the design less competitive as a racer and C&N stopped production. Fast Yachts bought the molds and began production in Brazil.
