Exterior design
The Oceanis 46.1 is based on a Finot-Conq plan, keeping the distinctive stepped hull of the 51.1.
Apart from her performance at sea and the huge amount of space that set this boat apart, this architecture makes optimal use of the cockpit beam. An incredibly efficient deck plan makes her wonderfully safe and easy to use.
Maneuvering is simple when sailing short-handed, thanks to the furling mast, self-tacking jib, and all the halyards and sheets that lead back to a single winch at each of the helm stations.
Interior Design
Large hull portholes bring a considerable amount of natural light right into the center of the boat, so that you can truly enjoy the elegant interiors by Nauta Design. A choice of light oak or mahogany sets the tone and creates the interior atmosphere, which can be readily customized.
EVERY STYLE OF CRUISING
Easy to sail, easy-going and fast, the Oceanis 46.1 can be customized to make her unique, appealing to a wide range of crews. Attention to design details makes life onboard a real pleasure and allows you to sail confidently in the knowledge that she is safe.
COCKPIT AND RELAXATION
The Oceanis 46.1 has a very spacious cockpit with room for 8 guests around a large table. There are two reclining sun loungers with drink holders on either side of the companionway. These can easily be lifted and moved up onto the fore deck.
MASTER SUITE
With unparalleled space on a boat this size, the master cabin has a shower room with a separate head, offering comfort worthy of a sailing yacht of much bigger proportions, with a 5'25''x 6'72'' island bed.
SPEED AND EXHILARATION
With a longer mast of 3 additional feet, a sail area increased by 28%, Harken deck fittings, and a deep lead-bulb keel to reduce drag, the First Line version of the Oceanis 46.1 is all set to offer a unique cruising experience.
Equipped With SEANAPPS
The easiest way to keep your boat safe and ready to cruise anytime.
The new Seanapps app is the ultimate solution to help you indulge your passion for boating. With the touch of your finger, you can easily connect, monitor and order services for your boat – from routine maintenance, to requesting a wash or fuel or having us complete a repair.

Designed and built for serious sailors, the Outbound 46 is a fast, easy-to-handle, cruising yacht that is capable of crossing all oceans in comfort and speed. Often considered the best cruising yacht of this size ever produced, this exceptional sailboat has every feature a cruising couple could desire. With more than 80 boats produced to date, it is easy to say that every detail has been considered and refined.
An easily driven hull, innovative cockpit, a workroom with standing headroom, and an interior that truly stands out among vessels produced today, it is no wonder the Outbound 46 continues to impress discerning sailors the world over.
A Proven Classic That Performs
Proven Design
The Outbound 46 relies on a tested and proven design for its performance. Designed by the legendary Carl Schumacher, its sailing parameters are optimized with solid fiberglass construction and strengthened by a well-engineered structure. The weight of this strength is offset with a long waterline, moderate beam, easily driven lines, and proper weight distribution.
Offshore Aft Cockpit
Long and deep, the Outbound 46 cockpit is comfortable, functional, and has excellent visibility. Six-foot cockpit seats are equally great for entertaining or napping while underway. The wide coamings also serve as comfortable outboard seats. Most importantly, the cockpit is safe offshore and has proven to be exceptionally dry and well-protected.
Refined Interior
The Outbound 46 interior offers a unique semi-raised salon that creates a bright interior and allows for close interaction between the cockpit, galley, and salon. Raising the house a few inches provides plenty of natural light below, space for 390 gallons of tank capacity in the middle of the boat, and a safe three-step companionway.
Design & Sail Plan
Over twenty years ago Carl Schumacher designed a cruising boat that has proven to be one of the world’s best for generations of sailors. She is sea-kindly, fast, and remains without a true rival. The Outbound 46 is designed with a sloop rig and set up as a cutter, or, far more commonly, a solent. The large mainsail effortlessly drives the 46 no matter the headsail choice.
Hull & Deck
Outbound Yachts build quality and construction techniques are regarded as among the best. However, the genius in the 46 hull and deck are in the design details. A sailboat hull that is as fast as the 46 is has no business being so comfortable and stable at sea. While her deck may not offer the massive open feeling that matches today’s trends, it is clearly far safer in every aspect.
Deep and secure, the 46 cockpit is functional and comfortable, whether out to sea for a few hours or a few weeks. Aft, the cockpit opens to her large sugar scoop transom, a perfect place hopping aboard or to enjoy a swim. Safe in heavy weather and comfortable while on the hook, are traits that every owner wants, but few boats provide. The Outbound 46 is known for both.
Hard Dodger
Perhaps one of the most recognizable features on the Outbound 46 is the hard dodger, an option most owners opt for. Safety glass, integrated hand rails, and custom solar panels are a few of the features that define the dodger. Overhead hatches allow for airflow but the hard dodger truly shines while the 46 moves effortlessly through rough seas.
Built For Offshore Sailing
Experienced sailors value the added safety that comes with good sailing performance. The ability to sail off a lee shore, shorten a passage to within the available weather window, and safely maneuver through heavy seas are all features that make the Outbound 46 one of the best cruising sailboats in the world. Equally important is having the comfort required to avoid fatigue when heading offshore. A dry and comfortable cockpit, good visibility, and a forgiving motion are essential for a safe and enjoyable passage.
Strong Hull & Deck Construction
100% hand-laid solid fiberglass hull and the deck is vacuum bagged Divinycel for maximum rigidity.
Premium Sailing Hardware
From electric furlers and self-tailing winches to hydraulic backstays, the Outbound 46 is equiped with hardware from the industry's best manufacturers.
Fitted With North Sails
Regarded as the most sophisticated sails in the world, North Sail utilizes modern design programs and the most advanced building techniques.
On Deck Safety
Designed with serious offshore sailing in mind, all aspects from wide side decks and nonskid patterns to lifeline height and handrail placement were considered to create a safe deck.

Onboard Safety
Onboard safety is paramount when you plan to do serious sailing. While u-shaped galleys have proven to be incredibly safe while offshore, there is also an abundance of handholds on the Outbound 46. In this photo alone there are no less than 12 handholds...can you find them all? Sturdy handholds are carefully placed throughout the entire interior.
Sensible Spaces
Every aspect of the Outbound 46 has been carefully planned in order to maximize both space and performance while sailing. While you can clearly see that the nav station is great for charting your voyage and also serves as an excellent space to work with your laptop, what you don't see are the benefits of the raised cabin sole. Raising the sole a few inches allows the fuel and water tanks to be placed in the center of the boat above the keel. Not only is this the best location for the tanks in terms of performance, it also frees up valuable space below the settees for additional storage.
Luxury Comforts
Outbound 46’s are equipped with everything from the highest quality air conditioning systems, diesel heaters and water makers, to lithium ion batteries and additional Raymarine navigation equipment. The optimization list is long and every boat has been customized to match her owners desires and planned usage.
Classic Styling
The Outbound 46 does is not attempting to be something she is not. She is a classic beauty in every sense. A sheer that more than hints at her abilities and the decision to have a defined angle where the aft end of the house meets the cockpit are examples of styling that will never be out of style. These exterior details are combined with raised panel cabinetry, strong stainless portholes, solid thickness trim and sturdy hardware. While the 46 will always retain timeless styling, it is equally important to note, it is built for the purpose of distance live aboard cruising.
Perhaps one of the best known features on the Outbound 46 is the workroom. The cockpit seat opens above this space to give full standing headroom. It is not only easy to face inboard and work on the generator or access the shaft, it is also possible to stand and rebuild a pump. The versatility of this space keeps the Outbound 46 sailing while other boats remain in the yard.
Comfortable & Spacious Onboard Living
Aboard the Outbound 46 you’ll be enjoying an interior that has been refined for over 18 years. Stepping down below you will immediately be in awe of the classic yacht style and fine woodwork, a hand-crafted feeling that is lost on most of today’s production boats. Upon closer inspection you will discover that every aspect of the interior has been well-planned and designed specifically for offshore cruising. Serious sailors appreciate the many details such as the short three-step companionway that makes movement between the cockpit and salon safe and easy, the abundance of sturdy handholds throughout, a generous amount of storage, easy access to the engine and critical mechanical systems, and of course, the world-renowned Outbound workroom.
- Classic styling and fine woodwork throughout with choice of wood finishes
- Safe Offshore U-Shaped galley
- Forward master cabin with centerline queen berth
- Aft guest cabin with double berth
- Reknowned utility workroom
Interior Tour
Large and bright, the 46 salon has both a U-shaped settee and a straight settee.can. Either can be used as a sea berth. Cabinetry outboard, under the side decks, offers ample storage. Fixed hull ports combine with overhead opening hatches to fill the salon with light.
- Opening overhead hatches
- Drop down table to make a large salon berth
- Built in liquor or wine cabinet creates an armrest in the settee when down.
- Custom placement for additional handholds
The U-shaped galley is built for safety at sea, but is equally suited for creating large meals while dockside or anchored. Positive latching cabinetry, a centerline sink, and a gimbaled stove are hallmarks of a good sea galley.
- Additional overhead cabinetry
- Separate deep freezer
- Steps from companionway
Nav Station
A forward facing navigation station that can hold full-size charts in the opening nav desk. Electrical breakers are within reach and battery switches are also nearby. Even this area of the Outbound 46 has been detailed to make her a better boat for full time cruising.
- Instruments, radios and plotters within reach
- Plenty of drawers
- AC/DC breakers and panel are easily accessible
- Forward Facing
Master Cabin & Ensuite Head
A private stateroom forward that has an ensuite head is the perfect place for owners to enjoy some quiet time. This stateroom feels like it belongs on a much larger vessel, partly because of the opening overhead hatch, but also because of the headroom and overall size of the space.
- Island or pullman berth
- Ensuite Head
- Storage under berth
- Hanging locker and additional storage
Aft Guest Cabin
The first thing noticed upon entering the aft stateroom is that there is standing headroom forward of the berth. The Outbound 46, is an aft cockpit boat with a true aft stateroom. This space has a large berth, hanging locker, drawers and even its own opening ports.
- Full headroom and space to change
- Easy access to the second head
- Cedar lined hanging locker
A full stall shower is aft of the generously proportioned head. The aft head is positioned next to the companionway stairs and also provides access to the workroom.
- Full stall shower
- Optional electric head
- Overhead opening ventilation hatch
- Storage in drawers and cabinets
Perhaps one of the best known features on the Outbound 46 is the workroom that provides a dedicated space for tool storage and to perform repairs.
- DEDICATED TOOL & EQUIPMENT STORAGE
- Space For Washer Dryer
- COCKPIT SEAT ABOVE OPENS TO PROVIDE AIRFLOW & ADDITIONAL STANDING ROOM
Engine & Mechanical Access
The Outbound 46 has been carefully planned to allow for easy access to the engine and mechanical systems has been carefully planned.
- Engine is located directly under the Companionway Steps Which raise on a hinge.
- Additinoal access to each side of the engine through doors in the aft cabin and head.
- Easy Access to Critical Mechanical Systems From The Utility Workroom
Customize With The Latest Technology & Equipment
Outbound Yachts rely on proven equipment, but constantly consider and employ the latest available marine technology to improve each boat. Every boat is semi-custom and built to order, alleviating the need for customers to install aftermarket customizations.
Lithium Ion Batteries
The optional lithium ion battery package modernizes every Outbound and revolutionizes power usage.
Glendinning Joystick Controls
A control system that allows the pilot to seamlessly control the engine and thrusters with the push or turn of a joystick.
Selden SMF System
The engineers at the largest mast manufacturer in the world created the synchronized in-mast furling system and it is available on every Outbound model. Furling an in-mast sail with perfect outhaul tension reduces the worry of fouling a mainsail. Additionally, it means owners will deploy the main more often, which translates to more days sailing.
Offshore connectivity is now available through Starlink systems. Having internet available while sailing anywhere on the planet is truly a game changer.

Beneteau 46
Beneteau 46 is a 47 ′ 2 ″ / 14.4 m monohull sailboat designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Beneteau starting in 2005.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Deep Keel: 6.75’/2.06m Disp. 6422 lbs./2913 kg Interior by Nauto Yachts (ITA)

X-Yachts X46: Best Full-Size Cruiser 45 to 55 Feet
- By Herb McCormick
- Updated: December 9, 2019
The big-boat classes in the 2020 Boat of the Year competition presented some big problems for the judging panel. Take the Full-Size Cruiser 45 to 55 Feet fleet, with a quartet of extremely solid contenders across a wide range of price points and with different design briefs and objectives, ranging from versatile performance-style cruisers to a dedicated bluewater passagemaker. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
At $550,000, the Bavaria C50 packed a lot of punch into a 50-footer. “It’s billed as a family cruiser, and features twin helms and a single rudder,” judge Dan Spurr said. “The representative who presented the boat emphasized the division between the entertainment area and the cockpit and working areas, and that cockpit really resonated with me—for a bigger boat, it’s very efficient to sail.” The Bavaria also struck a chord with fellow judge Ed Sherman: “I’ve been watching the evolution of Bavarias since they first started coming to the United States, and they’ve come a long way. Everything about them is significantly better than the earlier boats, and you get a lot of features for the price. It’s a player in this group.”
From a value standpoint, the Elan Impression 41.5 left a strong, good impression on the judging panel. Judge Ralph Naranjo was particularly enamored with the overall build quality of the hull laminate. “It’s an ISO-approved Category A offshore boat; they did a really nice job with the vacuum infusion,” he said. “I was crawling in those aft lockers looking at the autopilot arrangement, and could see how well the deck elements and bulkheads went in. And the autopilot installation was great, with an excellent stainless-steel bracket that was bolted and cantilevered to catch both the deck and the bulkhead. The autopilot and rams have to take a huge amount of thrust or push/pull; they need to be in there securely. And they were.”
It was clearly going to take an outstanding vessel to sway the panel’s opinions. It turned out there was not only one other formidable yacht to choose from, but two.
“The Amel 50 is truly an oceangoing globe-trotter,” Sherman said, speaking about the latest, highly anticipated model from the long-standing stalwart French builder. “With a signature watertight forward crash bulkhead, a centrally located sea chest for easily isolating a leak and shutting it down, to a globally conscious shore-power system that can deal with 50 or 60 hertz and 120 or 230-240 volts, Amel has designed a boat that will have you covered wherever your travels take you. For those who want to cruise in luxury, this is the boat.”
“Amel has long been one of the only worldwide companies to offer what is essentially a ‘ready to cruise’ boat,” Spurr said. “The boat can be operated entirely from the security of the cockpit, which has a windshield and hardtop, like many solo offshore racers. Some of my colleagues didn’t like this feature, feeling it isolated the helm from feeling the weather. The boat is not inexpensive, but it also seemed to have the highest-quality finish.”
“To me, it’s more of a motorsailer than a traditional cruising sailboat,” Naranjo said. “Her performance under sail is somewhat limited by a fairly high displacement and a modest sail area. She is easy to handle, though, because of her power-assisted sail trimming and setting capabilities.”
Sailing prowess is never a debatable issue with X-Yachts, however, and after treating the judges to a world-class sailing experience, they ultimately decided that the X-Yachts X46 was the Best Full-Size Cruiser 45 to 55 Feet for 2020. (It was a back-to-back winning effort from X-Yachts; in 2019, X-Yachts’ X49 was also honored as the Best Full-Size Cruiser.)
“This was just a joy to sail,” Sherman said. “A performance sailing boat in every sense —very close-winded. It was everything I’ve come to expect from X-Yachts. They are put together by real craftspeople who take a great deal of concern in everything they do. So many little things. For instance, the wiring connections behind the panel board are all bent to 90 degrees and secured in place, and they hand-solder the solid copper bus links between the switches. This is all labor-intensive stuff that you just don’t see on most boats. They’ve always been known for using top-quality gear, and they certainly didn’t cut any corners here.
“X-Yachts are put together by real craftspeople who take a lot of pride in their work.”
“The epoxy resin they use in the layup is going to last forever, and the post-cure process is just top shelf,” Sherman continued. “I mean, what can I say? And I believe the pricing is actually pretty darn good. This boat costs $740,000, which is nothing to laugh at—it’s a significant amount of money. But when you compare it dollarwise to some of the other boats out there of similar lengths, you know what? It kind of stands out. And so, yes, I’m a fan. I’ve always been.”
“Like all X-Yachts, it has a unique feature in the construction, with a steel grid that sits on stringers with a balanced lifting point where you can actually lift the entire boat with a crane, with a strop that comes down through a hatch,” Spurr said. “The quality of construction all around seemed very good, with the keel actually bolted to the grid. Basically, we were told that you can’t lose the keel on this boat, which is pretty remarkable. And it’s really a handsome boat all the way around.”
Not to mention, when the final votes were cast, it was a winning one.
