Custom Current Marine 46 for sale in Annapolis, MD United States of America

ON DISPLAY AT THE ANNAPOLIS SAILBOAT SHOW OCTOBER 10th - 14th Nohea is a high-performance sail catamaran with sleek hulls and high-quality engineering. The highlights of her build include carbon fiber reinforcement in the hulls to reduce weight, carbon mast and boom, daggerboards for improved upwind performance, high-performance rigging to improve sail control, including a rotating mast, and creature comforts for onboard living.Coming in at 7 tons, this is one of the lightest 46ft catamarans you can find.

Key Features

This is a rare opportunity to own a 2022 true-performance catamaran. Nohea comes from the well-regarded Current Marine factory in Knysna, South Africa, which has been building fast Schionning catamarans for the past two decades. It is the second hull to be launched under Current Marines own brand. Noheas lightship weight of only 7 tons allows her to easily achieve boat speeds equivalent to wind speed, and she only has to resort to using engines on the calmest days.
A full carbon rig, rotating mast, daggerboards, and performance sails from the North mean you will regularly sail over 10 knots – and for the truly adventurous, flying a hull when the wind gets above 20 knots.
While maintaining an extremely light displacement for a boat this length, she still sports most of the features any cruiser is looking for: 600Ah of Lithium-ion batteries, 2200W of solar power, Victron power management, air conditioning in all 4 cabins, an electric stove and oven, hot water heating, and a small diesel generator.
The interior is beautifully set out, with zebra wood paneling and Seadek flooring. With 6 ft 6 inches of headroom, there is plenty of clearance for most.
