Fishing under sail means no engine fumes wafting back into the cockpit, no engine vibrations and less fatigue due to the droning noise of the engines. Should the wind quit, you could rely upon the twin 100-horsepower engines coupled to saildrives to give this cat a speed in excess of 15 knots. This just might make the Crowther 45 the ultimate motorsailer. Construction uses rigid PVC foam cores in a variety of thicknesses. Triaxial, biaxial and unidirectional glass is used for hull and deck in addition to structural bulkheads.
Sandwich construction is used throughout the interior to keep the weight down.
