“The J/45 cockpit layout will be immediately familiar to any keen sailor, although unlike many yachts of this size, there’s no separate guest cockpit for those who want to stay well clear of the action. The cockpit is narrow by today’s standards, especially towards the transom, but the lack of wide open spaces here is not detrimental for a serious sailing yacht. Deep moulded bulwarks, plus stainless steel coachroof grab rails, give security when going forward, while the non-slip deck surface of our test boat proved effective, as did the Flexiteek fitted to the cockpit benches and sole”.

“Since the owner is looking forward to sailing, of course, Sørvind should do well especially in lighter winds. Light weight aids that performance. She has a fully carbon fiber hull, deck, and bulkheads. Even deck hardware is titanium to trim pounds. The same is true for the Flexiteek deck material.”

Teak alternatives: 4 options for decking that doesn’t cost the earth

Flexiteek - What the Press Say - Yachting World Logo

“Despite their slightly textured surface, which replicates the grain of real wood, dirt and stains stay on the surface of PVC decking, so it can be cleaned relatively easily with a wet cloth and maybe soapy water. Unlike real teak, which has a mix of hard and very soft fibres, PVC decks can also be pressure-washed. Another bonus is that damaged areas can be sanded back to reveal fresh material that looks new.”
