Yachting USA – August 2019

all four outboards can move in unison,

or the portside two can move separately

from the starboard-side two. ¶ At the

helm, the vessel’s triple Llebroc cross-

stitched helm seats are abaft a Garmin

electronics suite with three 17-inch mul-

tifunction displays for charts, ra-

dar, SiriusXM and sonar. ¶ Abaft

the helm seats is a cabinet that

houses a retractable fl at-screen

TV, a Scandvik stainless-steel

sink and faucet, a two-burner

Kenyon cooktop, a Kenyon grill,

and a U-Line refrigerator. ¶ Marshall’s

interior focus was to enhance the owner’s

experience. To that end, the belowdecks

layout is pleasantly sized with 6-foot-6-

inch headroom. Solid-wood cabinetry,

side and forward windows, and a skylight

enhance the open feeling here. A console

and wet bar to port have a GE microwave,

Isotherm fridge drawer and Scandvik

sink. ¶ Forward is a U-shape settee with

a high-low dining table that converts to

a queen berth. To starboard is a head

that has a clear Ambassador Marine ba-

sin sink, a Tecma toilet and a window.

There’s a separate shower stall.

¶ Options include wood choices,

paint schemes and matching

engine colors. A Seakeeper 6

gyrostabilizer is available, as

are an 11-kW Kohler diesel

generator and a KVH satellite-TV

system. ¶ With big-boat features and

sporty performance, Ocean Alexan-

der’s 45 Divergence has a good shot

at attracting dayboat enthusiasts and

yacht owners who want a stylish tender.

She’s defi nitely a break from the norm.

HARDTOP HIGHLIGHTS

Ocean Alexander packs a lot

into the 45’s hardtop, including

four Fusion speakers, recessed

lighting, and forward and

aft spreader lights. One nicety

is the retractable, motorized

SureShade cockpit awning that

extends almost all the way

aft. It’s a great option to keep

the sun off at high noon.
