The Fast 345 is a well-designed, efficient cruising sloop. Built by Fast Yachts based on the Nicholson 345 model designed by Ron Holland. The cabin sleeps 4-6 comfortably with very roomy aft double/queen berth (55”x 75”) and separate hanging locker, V-berth that sleeps two, and two settees in main cabin. Fast Forward sails well in light winds due to its origins and racing style boat that was converted to be used for cruising. The cabin has a beautiful teak and mahogany interior with foldable dining table and ample storage on port and starboard sides. The galley has a 3-burner propane stove with oven, hot/ cold pressurized water with an optional freshwater foot pump. The galley has an ice box with Cold Machine compressor (compressor not working). New Maxwell windlass installed 2024 with Vulcan anchor deploys easily with bow remote control. 50’ galvanized chain braided to 150 feet nylon rode.

In water survey completed in May 2025 (by Tec Marine Campbell River) available upon request to interested buyers. Haul-out scheduled for late April 2026
