2001 J Boats J/46

This 2001 J/46 is a 46-foot performance cruising sailboat built by J/Boats to a design by Rod Johnstone. The hull is fiberglass with balsa coring, and the deck is constructed for both strength and light weight. Power comes from a Yanmar 4LH-TE diesel engine of 75 horsepower. The boat measures 13.83 feet across the beam and is equipped with two heads.

The sail plan features a high-aspect rig with roller furling headsail and provision for an asymmetrical spinnaker. The design emphasizes responsive handling and efficient performance under sail in all conditions. The cockpit is laid out for both single-handed and crewed operations, with accessible sail controls and open deck space for working with lines and sails.

Below deck, the interior is arranged as a spacious cruising layout with a salon, galley, and multiple cabin configurations suitable for extended time at sea. The boat combines the speed and agility expected of a performance design with the comfort and systems needed for offshore and coastal voyaging.
