Description
Beautiful, Handcrafted Sailboat, Built in Sweden
This boat has been well cared for and stored inside in a heated barn for the last 18 years since the current owner purchased her. Improvements have been made to her every year including refurbished teak decks, new engine, new spars and sails, and more.
The Vindo 45 is an exceptional example of Swedish craftsmanship. In his book, "The World’s Best Sailboats", Ferenc Maté, stated “If you were to ask most sailors to tell you in one phrase how they’d like their fiberglass boats built, they would tell you without hesitation, “out of wood”. Vindö Yachts of Sweden have done just that as far as is humanly possible. They have combined strength and longevity of fiberglass hulls and cockpits and a partial deck with the beauty of magnificently crafted varnished mahogany house and teak housetops and teak decks, to create some of the prettiest yachts in the world today."
With her roller furling mainsail and roller furling jib, this boat can be easily sailed short-handed without having to leave the cockpit. Further, with her full length keel and 42% ballast / displacement ratio she sails well and is as comfortable offshore as simply day sailing around the bay.

Accommodations
"Carpe Diem" will sleep six comfortably in two private cabins and the convertible settee in the main salon.
You enter the boat directly from the cockpit, down only three steps to the cabin sole. The Galley is immediately to starboard with a two basin stainless steel sink, a two burner Force 10 stove and oven and a stainless steel lined icebox. There is also an extendable counter top which provides more room for meal preparation.
Opposite the galley, to port is a private cabin with a good two-person sea berth, a shelf and a hanging locker.
Forward of the galley and the aft cabin is the main salon with a large u-shaped settee to starboard and a straight settee to port. At the aft end of the port settee is a nicely laid out navigation station which also features a stainless steel coal fired cabin heater for those chilly evenings..
Forward of the main salon, on the starboard side is the head with a manual Jabsco salt water head a Corian sink and plenty of storage. Opposite the head on the port side is a hanging locker with shelves.
Forward of the head and hanging locker is the forward cabin featuring a v-berth which includes a "filler" to create a double berth. There is plenty of storage space in the forward cabin in both cubbies and lockers.

Sean Fawcett joins ECYS after four decades in the yachting industry. Sean has held positions as a yacht captain, boatbuilder, yacht designer, yacht charter broker and educator and is excited to bring his experience to the ECYS team.
EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION
Growing up in Manchester, Mass. and summering on Penobscot Bay in Maine, Sean learned to sail at an early age, was a summer sailing instructor at the Camden Yacht Club and always had his eye on a career in boating.
Sean graduated from The University of Pennsylvania where he was on the lightweight crew and was captain of the Penn Sailing team. Summer jobs often included running offshore racing yachts, as well as commissioning and delivering yachts up and down the eastern seaboard.
PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
After college, Sean began his yacht design career with Pedrick Yacht Designs in Newport, RI where he contributed to such notable designs as Stars and Stripes ’87 for the America’s Cup and the IOR Maxi boats “Sovereign” and “Drumbeat”. After ten years, he continued his design career with his own company, Fawcett Designs where he was part of the technology team for the America3 Americas Cup campaign.
Sean is joining us after ten years at The Landing School where he was Yacht Design Instructor, Director of Education and, most recently, President.
As a designer, Sean learned that it is imperative to understand how the performance of the boat matches the objectives of the owner. As such, Sean has raced or cruised with clients in almost every ocean in the world including competing in multiple SORC’s, Bermuda Races, Halifax Races, Kenwood Cups and Fastnet Races. Sean brings these same analytical skills to Yacht Brokerage, assuring that the boat matches the mission of the client.
Sean is excited to share his knowledge and passion for the sea with you on your journey in boating.
