Miami 45
Description
The Miami 45 is a custom auxiliary ketch designed by renowned naval architect Ted Brewer (design #153) specifically for steel construction, intended as a flush-deck, doghouse cruiser with traditional lines for comfortable offshore or coastal sailing. It features a robust, heavily ballasted hull for stability and a tall rig with an independently stayed mizzen to maintain windward ability while offering the advantages of a split rig (e.g., easy heavy-weather jogging under jib and mizzen, or light-air mizzen staysail). No large production run exists—it's a one-off or limited custom design with no documented builder or hull count beyond individual commissions.
