We have just finished our first season with our 445. Interested in hearing how other owners are getting on with their 445. We have been very happy, we have spent time cruising Auckland's Hauraki Gulf after launching before sailing around North cape and down the North Island's west coast to Picton at the top of the South island - approx 650 mile trip. Boat handled very well in a range of conditions we experienced. Very impressed with auto pilot. We have had small teething issues but nothing conisidered major, these have all been dealt with very qucikly and efficently by Windcraft dealer.
