PLEASURE FOR THE EYE - PLEASURE AT SEA
Not many cruiser-racer yachts will boast the same high level of standard features as the X-46. With her beautiful chrome polished aluminium framed skylights and recessed portlights, her rounded off sheer line with teak rail, teak laid deck in the cockpit and at the bathing platform, she will appeal to the cruising family and racing crew alike.
The helmsman will be pleasantly surprised by her easy handling at sea. Features that contribute to this include a long mainsheet traveller which runs low down in the cockpit. The double-ended mainsheet system is led back to either side of the cockpit under the side decks, while the halyards and other associated control lines are led under the coachroof, which has an integrated recessed sprayhood, and then back to halyard winches either side of the companionway hatch.
Optional anchor launch system
The 20 kg CQR anchor will be handled by a hinged arm, which is operated by a gas driven devise nicely hiding the anchor below a hatch at the foredeck when not in use, and rising and folding forward when preparing to drop the anchor.
