While the specifications of the new 46 remain the same, the catamaran which has just been launched adopts inverted bows and a redesigned deckhouse with larger openings. The interior has also been to revised. The construction used – foam/glass/polyester sandwich with epoxy for the underwater hull – will guarantee excellent structural qualities. Customization is part of the yard’s philosophy. A forthcoming 52-footer is currently in the design stage.
Our Australian correspondent Kevin Green was able to discover this novelty in Sydney – full test in a very forthcoming issue.
Full test in Multihulls World 188.
