Med 46 Modern Classic Sloop
BROKERS COMMENTS

This modern classic concept from the Spanish designers Barracuda, with a strong background in racing yachts has achieved a sleek hull profile with classic freeboard and long overhangs, a clean deck and well proportioned superstructure. Her bulb keel and high aspect ratio hanging rudder gives her good manoeuvrability and high performance; especially upwind. Meanwhile the designers have mastered the provision of ample space ? yes with some beam but indeed achieving the classic character that is their aim. The styled curvature of the fore end of the cabin is reflected also in that of the cockpit aft. This boat is all there and ready to go.

CONSTRUCTION

With a modern below waterline profile, the hull is constructed of two cold-moulded diagonal layers of timber treated with epoxy resins, over strip planking cedar finished with fibreglass and epoxy. The internal structure consists of structural bulkheads and longitudinal girders. Timber ply cabin construction with timber ply and teak cockpit with and fittings.
