This X-Yachts X-46 has been very well equipped with carbon mast and deep keel with extra lead, so will be equally happy racing offshore as cruising long distance short handed.  The deck layout is very simple with all control lines lead aft to the cockpit, handled with the optional electric winches.  This X-46 has the classic layout with U-shaped galley to starboard, dedicated chart table to port and symmetrical saloon seating.  This X-Yacht is currently lying ashore, in Hamble Point Marina.

CE-CERTIFICATION

E-glass fabric in high stress areas. Core material is 25-30
mm compressed Divinycell® with a density of 100 kg/m³.
Solid laminate is used around keel, rudder and through-hull
fittings for maximum strength.
The sea cocks for the through hull fittings are made of naval
brass.
The white hull incorporates 3 identical coloured waterlines
and a single sheer line. The anti slip at the side decks is
white.
Teak is laid on the cockpit floor, seats and coamings and on
