The 1986 Cambria 46 is an American-built performance cruising yacht designed by David Walters Yachts for speed, comfort, and seaworthiness. The hull employs Airex PVC foam core construction, which creates a lighter and stronger structure than solid fiberglass while offering superior impact resistance, thermal insulation, and sound dampening. The deck is constructed from Divinycell PVC foam core, a material that resists water absorption better than balsa and handles higher temperatures. At 45.67 feet with a 13.42-foot beam, the yacht draws 6 feet and was originally offered with an optional centerboard for deeper draft; this example has had the centerboard removed as owners found it unnecessary.
The rig features a Hood Stowaway internal main furling mast with dual inline spreaders and a Harken roller furler on the genoa. A single Yammer diesel engine of 75 horsepower provides auxiliary power, with a cruising speed of 7 knots and maximum speed of 7.5 knots. The molded fiberglass decks are finished with teak trim throughout the cockpit, including teak seats and cockpit sole.
The interior is finished in varnished old-growth teak and accessed via dual hatches—one from the cockpit and another aft of midship. The accommodation plan includes three cabins and two heads, providing comfortable sleeping and sanitary facilities for extended cruising.
The yacht was built in Rhode Island and originally cruised the East Coast before being relocated to the Pacific Northwest, where it has been used for weekend cruising and extended trips through the Salish Sea and Desolation Sound.
