What distinguishes the model
- According to owner reports, the Looping 45 easily achieves 180–200 nautical mile days in the trade winds and handles extended blue-water passages.
- The lightweight cedar-epoxy construction with Kevlar-reinforced bilges and watertight bulkheads is considered stiff and of high-quality build.
- Generous tanks for diesel and water as well as the praised bridgedeck clearance make long passages comfortable.
