This Cape George 45 must be seen to appreciate the incredible workmanship that went in to create this highly sophisticated yet intuitive vessel. Cape George Yachts incorporate the traditional lines of Colin Archer and William Atkin with an evolved understanding of hydrodynamics and efficiency to create a performance sailing experience by combining a modern understanding of hull design, by Tim Nolan and Carl Chamberlin, creating a vessel that draws our eye traditionally and has more interior volume, sails closer to the wind and heels less than its sailing ancestors. The boat is designed with intuitive and contemporary systems and equipment that make Motor and Vessel Monitoring Systems Management understandable and clear.

The Exterior of the S/V Robert Lewis is gorgeously finished and well laid out for being underway or at anchor. The Cockpit is beautifully built, ergonomic and safe. The teak composite decks are wide and easy to maneuver fore and aft with Stainless Steel Life-Lines and Handrails for safety.
