The Seafarer 46 is an American sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser and first built in 1967.[1][2][3]

The Seafarer 46 is probably a development of the Seafarer 45.[1][3]

Production

[edit]

The design was built by Seafarer Yachts in the United States, starting in 1967, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4][5]

The boat was offered complete and ready-to-sail, or in various stages of completion.[1][3]

Design

[edit]

The Seafarer 46 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead yawl rig or optional masthead sloop rig, with a fixed fin keel. It displaces 27,000 lb (12,247 kg) and carries 12,250 lb (5,557 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 6.50 ft (1.98 m) with the standard keel.[1][3]

The boat is fitted with a Universal 70 hp (52 kW) diesel engine for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]

The design has a hull speed of 7.46 kn (13.82 km/h).[3]
