Delta 46 is a 45 ′ 9 ″ / 14 m monohull sailboat designed by Doug Peterson and built by Shing Fa Boatbuilding Co., Ltd. starting in 1981.

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)

Based on the PETERSON 44 and LIBERTY 458 but with different interior and sold in Europe.(Delta Marine was a German company.) Cutter or ketch.

Unsere Segelyacht ist eine Delta 46 Ketch GFK mit Teakdeck Mittelcockpit Baujahr 1982, gebaut in Taiwan bei der Werft Shin Fa. Wir sind Erstbesitzer. Das Schiff ist eine sehr stabile Fahrtenyacht, geeignet für die große Fahrt Der Innenausbau besticht durch sehr viel verbautes, massives Teak und ist in makellosem Pflegezustand. Bedingt durch die Form des Unterwasser-Schiffes, speziell durch die Form des Kiels geht das Schiff auch bei hoher Welle weich in die See. Die Rumpfstärke ist mehr als 16 mm dick, gemessen 50 cm unterhalb der Wasserlinie. Damit will ich ausdrücken, dass das Schiff einen sehr stabilen Rumpf hat. Große Wassertank-Kapazität (1.500 Liter) und Dieseltank-Kapazität (1.140 Liter) machen auf großer Fahrt relativ unabhängig. Rumpflänge: 14,02 Meter Länge über alles mit Bugsprit ohne Badeplattform: 14,78 Meter Breite: 3,96 Meter Tiefe: 2,00 Meter Rigg: Ketch getakelt, beide Masten mit Maststufen Großmast: Backbord und Steuerbord je zwei untere Unterwanten Backbord und Steuerbord je zwei obere Unterwanten Backbord und Steuerbord je ein Oberwant Drei Vorstagen und zwei Achterstagen Damit möchte ich ausdrücken, dass das Rigg überdurchschnittlich verstagt ist. Am Mast befinden sich backbord und steuerbord jeweils Mastkörbe für das sichere Arbeiten. Besan: Backbord und Steuerbord je zwei Unterwanten Backbord und Steuerbord je zwei Oberwanten Halterung für Windgenerator vorhanden Besegelung: Großsegel, durchgelattet, Lazzyjacks Besan Genua Fock Kutterstagsegel Spinnaker 140 qm mit Bergeschlauch Genua und Fock haben elektrische Rollanlagen Über Deck: Reling 85 cm hoch mit besonders stabilen Relingsfüßen (hierzu drei Bilder) Süllrand 20 cm hoch das bedeutet sehr viel Sicherheit. Zwei große Backskisten im Deck eingelassen und eine Teakholztruhe an Deck für diverse Leinen. Am Heck eine großzügige Badeplattform mit integrierter Gangway. Feste Windschutzscheibe Backbord und Steuerbord im hinteren Bereich der Reling je ein Solarpanel 140 W Echolot, Logge, Windinstrumente Raymarin ST 60 mit Tochterinstrumenten am Kartentisch. Autopilot Autohelm 3000 Drei Sonnensegel für Vorschiff, Mitte und Hinten Bimini mit abnehmbaren Seitenteilen Sprayhood Kuchenbude Winterplane für das komplette Schiff bestehend aus drei Teilen Yamaha Außenborder 15 PS Dinghy aus der Pischel Werft Bolero 2,50 Meter Ankergeschirr: 2 CQR Anker Niro 1 CQR Anker Stahl 1 Danforth Anker Niro 115 Meter 10 mm Ankerkette frisch feuerverzinkt Lofrans Tiger Ankerwinsch 1000 W Motor: 80 PS Ford Lehman ohne Elektronik, also ein ganz normaler unkomplizierter Motor natürlich mit Zweikreiskühlung. Ruderanlage: ganz unkompliziert über Ketten und Seilzüge. Tanks: 5 Niro Wassertanks mit einer Gesamtkapazität von 1500 Litern 3 Niro Dieseltanks mit einer Gesamtkapazität von 1.140 Litern 1 GFK-Fäkalientank mit einer Kapazität von 40 Litern für die vordere Toilette Alle wichtigen Pumpen und Aggregate sind als Ersatz an Bord u.a. 1 Ersatzgetriebe 1 Ersatzanlasser 1 Lichtmaschine 1 Autopilot Autohelm 1 GPS Furuno GP 32 Alle Pumpen, Wasser-, Diesel-, Bilgepumpe, Toilettenpumpen und vieles mehr Werkzeug an Bord: Im Laufe der Jahre ist der Bestand an sinnvollem Werkzeug gewachsen. Das alles hier aufzuzählen würde den Rahmen sprengen. Es ist alles, wirklich alles an Bord, was irgendwann mal gebraucht wird. Ebenso ein umfangreiches Sortiment an Schrauben, Muttern, Schlauchschellen, Schäkeln, etc. Unter Deck: Raumaufteilung: Vorschiff mit Doppelkabine Vorne an Steuerbord eine Kabine mit Etagenkojen Vorne an Backbord eine Naßzelle Salon mit U-Sofa Navigationsecke Pantry an Backbord Eine Einzelkoje im Durchgang nach Achtern Achtern eine geräumige Eignerkabine mit Naßzelle Von der hinteren Toilette erreichbar an Backbord eine richtige Werkstatt mit Schraubstock und diversem Kleinmaterial. Das gesamte Schiff besticht durch überdurchschnittlich viel verarbeitetes Teakholz in allen Bereichen. Alle Schränke und Türen sind mit Lamellen versehen, das garantiert eine gute Belüftung der Schränke und Kabinen. In den Naßzellen und in der Pantry sind die Arbeitsflächen aus grünem Marmor Die Toiletten in den Naßzellen sind Lavac Vakuum Toiletten, sehr einfach in der Bedienung und wenig störanfällig. Der Kühlschrank bzw. die Kühlbox in der Pantry ist unverhältnismäßig groß, ich habe als Mann schon mal da drin gesessen und der Deckel konnte geschlossen werden! Sicherheitshalber habe ich zwei gleiche Kühlsysteme installiert. Eins reicht für die Kühlung, nur für den Fall, dass eines ausfällt, habe ich ein zweites baugleiches installiert. Kocher mit Backofen.

Delta celebrates 45 years of nonstop service from Germany to the U.S.

This past week, Delta celebrated 45 years of non-stop service from Germany to the United States. Since the route opened almost half a century ago, Delta has transported more than 21 million customers between Frankfurt and United States – over 25 times the population of the city itself. Germany remains one of Delta’s most important trans-Atlantic markets.   

Delta’s operations have grown significantly over the last 45 years - from four weekly flights between Frankfurt and Atlanta in 1979 to 21 weekly services to three U.S. gateways, Atlanta, Detroit and New York-JFK in June 2024.  In total this summer, Delta will operate 46 weekly flights to the United States from four cities in Germany: Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and Stuttgart.   

Opening the window to the world

Between November 1991 and 1997, Frankfurt became a Delta hub after the airline acquired Pan Am’s nonstop network from Frankfurt, which included services to Athens, Mumbai, Budapest, New Delhi, Istanbul, Moscow, Prague, St. Petersburg (seasonal), Vienna and Warsaw. By March 1993, Delta operated nonstop flights from Frankfurt to 19 cities across Europe, North America and Western Asia.   

Today, thanks to industry-leading JV partnerships with Air France, KLM and Virgin Atlantic, Delta now offers customers access to 200+ destinations beyond Paris-CDG, Amsterdam and London Heathrow.   

“Frankfurt was Delta’s second trans-Atlantic destination after London and has remained a key city in our international network ever since, linking Germany’s financial capital with that of America in New York, the home of the motor industry in Detroit, and our hub in Atlanta from where customers can fly to over 200 destinations,” said Matteo Curcio, Delta’s Senior Vice President EMEAI. “It’s fascinating to see that while Delta’s services have evolved, our customer focus has never wavered, always ensuring a thoughtful, consistently high standard of service for the millions of customers who have flown from Frankfurt over the years.”  

History lover and German-born Carla Kronsbein (a DTW-based technical facilitator) shares travel tips about Frankfurt, a charming, yet vibrant city she has cherished since her early days.

An elevated experience

Delta’s first flight to Frankfurt was operated using a three-engine L-1011 TriStar that offered 241 seats across three cabins: First Class, which featured sleeper seats, Medallion Service (Business Class) and Economy Class.    

Today, Delta’s Frankfurt flights are operated using Airbus A330-200 aircraft featuring all four Delta experiences – Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. Delta One customers enjoy fully flat-bed seats with individual aisle access, while seats in Delta Premium Select offer more space and recline.   

Always innovating 

Delta began visual in-flight entertainment on flights in 1978 (audio entertainment “Words and Music” launched in 1970), with movies projected onto large, shared screens. Today, customers flying on all international routes enjoy 1,000+ hours of complimentary Delta Studio, with entertainment on demand on individual screens at every seat.   

Delta Sync Seatback, currently available on a growing number of domestic U.S. flights, offers best-in-class content and smart TV features designed to feel like streaming services customers have used at home – including remembering where they left off in a movie.  

When Delta’s first Frankfurt flight took off, internet connectivity in the air was an unfathomable concept. Today, Delta customers can always stay connected through free mobile messaging via iMessenger, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger. Fast, free Wi-Fi by T-Mobile is available on domestic Delta flights for Sky Miles members and is being installed on international routes.   

Savory sky-high dining 

Customers flying on Delta’s Frankfurt services in 1979 enjoyed complimentary in-flight dining, just as they do today. Delta’s Medallion Service was prepared to deliver an experience to make travelling for business more enjoyable with gourmet entrées served on fine china and accompanied by cocktails, wines and champagne.   

Delta’s ambition to deliver a restaurant-style experience in the sky still remains. Within Delta One, a chef-curated, multi-course dining experience comes paired with sommelier-selected fine wines and is followed by decadent desserts, including Delta’s iconic ice cream sundae. Entrees in Delta One and Delta Premium Select can be pre-selected up to seven days in advance of travel, allowing customers to enjoy a more personalized experience.   

A memorable in-flight experience

Delta's approach to being a step above has been noticeable in its in-flight entertainment, culinary options and style of flight attendant uniforms.

When Delta launched a brand-new look for flight attendant uniforms in June 1979, the “Golden Anniversary Ensemble” celebrated 50 years of scheduled Delta passenger service and was designed by Pat Ashley of Omniform.

As recently as this March, Delta unveiled  protypes of its new uniforms designed by GPS Apparel by Gap Inc.   Anchored in deep navy blues and rich burgundy, with accents of bright red and white – these mark a return to a more classic color palette inspired by Delta’s brand identity and heritage.

When Delta's amenity kits were introduced in April 1978, they featured various self-care products like Michaud shave cream, lotion, and more in a leather pouch.

Delta's amenity kits have amplified luxury and comfort with the airline's brand-new partnership with Missoni for Delta One customers.  The kit features the iconic zig-zag pattern on the interior and exterior, with contents from Grown Alchemist skin care products, a bamboo toothbrush and toothpaste, an eye mask, ear plugs, socks and a pen. 

Delta's long-standing connection to Germany demonstrates the airline's commitment to constant innovation and elevated service for years to come.
