You have to see Ariel to understand cruising comfort of this J 46 and the level of quality this boat has been restored to.
The J 46 is a luxury cruising sail boat with the performance of a race boat. Owner has restored this boat to show room quality.
Easily handled by a couple but accommodations to handle three couples comfortably. All the comforts of home including a very large galley with a separate freezer, a large cook stove and micro wave oven. Think of the luxury of having a stand up shower with a 12 gal. hot water heater when doing extended cruising (Near shore and off shore)
The step on transom allows for easy boarding off your rib (including dogs). New performance designed sails keep you safe and give you the ability to get you there fast. A custom dodger and bimini keep you warm and dry.
The Award-winning J/46.. an Elegant Yacht for Effortless Cruising
J/46 may be the only investment grade sailing yacht of its size not requiring professional crew to sail at designed performance levelsââ¬Â¦..or to maintain. Two people can easily manage her upwind and down to achieve the same 8 knot passage-making speeds under sail that is possible when motoring with 76hp diesel auxiliary. The joy of sailing the perfect boat is, after all, a goal we believe every owner ultimately seeks. To insure that good sailing days are spent sailing rather than scrubbing and varnishing, J/46 is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Her exquisite joinerwork is protected from the sunââ¬Â¦Ã¢â¬Â¦belowdecks where itââ¬â¢s beauty can be preserved.
