1990 Custom 46

This is a 1990 custom ferro-cement sailboat, 46 feet in length with a 13-foot beam. The hull was built using ferro-cement construction, a method chosen for durability, impact resistance, and resistance to corrosion and rot. The heavy-displacement design delivers a stable, comfortable motion in varied sea conditions and is well-suited to extended offshore cruising or liveaboard use.

The boat carries sail power with a cruising speed of 5 knots and a maximum speed of 7 knots. The interior layout emphasizes practical systems access and generous storage, designed for extended time aboard. The custom build prioritizes functionality and longevity over production standardization, with a single-engine configuration.

This one-off design reflects traditional boat engineering principles, with construction proven over decades by cruising sailors worldwide. The ferro-cement method used in this era has established a strong track record for seaworthiness and low-maintenance operation across global waters.
