Diva 45 (Diva 451)
Description
The Diva 45 (also known as Fabola Diva 45 or Diva 451) is a Swedish performance-oriented bluewater cruiser designed by Bernt Lindquist and built by Fabola Boats (in collaboration with CR Yachts Sweden) from around 1985 to the 1990s. It was produced in limited numbers as a slender, IOR-influenced yacht with a new deck and interior solution featuring two companionways (one forward for guests, one aft for the owner), a helmsman position in the cockpit, and a center-cockpit layout for comfort and protection. The boat emphasizes speed, ease of handling, comfort, and innovation, with proven bluewater credentials (GRP/fiberglass construction, wing keel options, and a reputation for offshore capability).
