Coronado 45
Description
The Coronado 45 is an American offshore cruiser-racer sailboat designed by William H. Tripp Jr., introduced in 1974 as the largest model in the Coronado lineup. Built briefly by Coronado Yachts (a Whittaker Corp. division) until 1975, only about 33 units were produced, making it quite rare. It shares hull molds and origins with the Columbia 43/45, reflecting the close integration between the brands under Whittaker ownership.
