Description

"Tiente Forte" - Rinaldi Sintesi 45 Sailing Yacht - PRICE MASSIVELY REDUCED FOR QUICK SALE!!
BARGAIN 45 FOOTER SAILING CRUISING YACHT
Joint collaboration of Italian designer (Santarelli) and the owner of the yard (Rinaldi).
From 1992 they designed and built a fast offshore cruiser, with an especially elegant outline and racing characteristics. This sailing boat is both performance-oriented for the sailor who wants to participate in regattas, as well as cruising-oriented for the owner who wants a comfortable 45 footer for fast passage making.

She is very light for a 45 footer approx 6300Kg and her Volvo Penta 3 cylinder inboard MD2030 pushes her along using very little diesel fuel when needed

Each boat was built to order, this one the IMS version with 3 double berth cabins, a large saloon (can sleep 2) and one head forward.
This is a practical layout allowing her to be versatile enough to suit shorthanded or fully crewed sailing with enough comfort and storage either way.
This boat was originally purchased and sailed back from Italy by the previous UK owners in Newport (IOW) UK.
Exact year of build is unknown (was advertised as 2007 when i bought her) and there is little paperwork with her, except bill of sale from the previous owners and UK VAT Paid proof from Brightlingsea harbor office photo with date, and previously ashore for 4 years from 1996-2001 @ Newport IOW Marina and Richardsons boat yard there.
Have been abroad for short trips several times in her since and never any issues

Previous owners had a new First 40 Keel fitted by Iron Brothers @ an approx cost of £15k in 2015
I purchased "Tiente Forte" in 2021 as a bit of a project and carried out a major refit and spend on her;

2015 First 40 Keel fitted by Iron Brothers @ an approx cost of £15k
2021 Mast out and repainted and new allspars rod rigging fitted, New Backstay and Runners / check stays, New Mast pulleys

Engine and Fuel filters recently serviced / changed
Engine water pump over hauled 2023
Can sell with 2 blade folding prop or 3 blade feathering kiwi prop
Working Anchor Windless with remote control

She can be raced and rated in irc class 1, would be more competitive in racer/cruiser classes at Ramsgate week for example as she will struggle against modern irc1 weapons, where nothing goes upwind as fast as cash.
There are several of these racing ORC in Italy and you can view them on the ORC web site.

She won the EAORA 2023 East coast two handed race from Harwich to Oostende, in 12-16 knts

She is a very comfortable, capable, fun yacht and my wife and I have cruised her for many happy miles over the last 3 years.

Currently lying Brightlingsea, Essex, East Coast, Sensible offers only please! possible P/X considered
