45' Beneteau 45f5
$ 185,000
Listing No. 6495
After 10 years of ownership, the time has come to hand over the keys to a new crew for their turn to experience the adventure of a lifetime with this amazing vessel!
This well known Beneteau 45f5 was custom built in St. Hilaire France to the highest standards, personally overseen by Mdme Beneteau-Roux. The Bruce Farr design matched with the Pininfarina interior is just as stunning today as it was the day this much anticipated boat was launched in English Bay for her original owner.
The 2 cabin 2 head layout is luxurious, finished with hand-stitched leather accents, Carrara marble and the signature Beneteau curves that show off the master craftmanship throughout. Topsides the smooth decks and clean lines are classic Beneteau, custom modified in the factory for PNW sailing. The newer custom mast and rig with Forespar Leisure Furl in-boom furling for the Main is a dream to handle either single handed or fully crewed. Sailing this boat is an absolute thrill that never fails to delight and with a PHRF rating of 81, Northern Girl remains the ultimate performance-cruising combination as shown in her recent race result at Southern Straits 2026.
Dry stored for the winter for the majority of her lifetime, this boat has been well maintained by her owner who is well versed in marine maintenance. Complete maintenance records are available but a few of the recent upgrades include:
- New teak decks (2018)
- New starter with relay (2025)
- New domestic water pump (2025)
- New hot water tank and lines (2025)

- New engine thru-hull (2026)
- Professionally bottom painted (2026)
- Rig inspected and tuned (2026)
