The 1982 Delta 46 is a rare opportunity to own a true blue-water cruiser that has been meticulously maintained by the same owner since new. Designed for sailors seeking both comfort and capability, this yacht boasts a robust white GRP hull with an impressive 16mm thickness below the waterline, ensuring exceptional durability for offshore adventures. The spacious center cockpit, teak-laid decks, and thoughtfully recessed lockers reflect a perfect blend of practicality and elegance. With a skeg-hung rudder and specially designed keel, the Delta 46 provides outstanding stability and performance, even in challenging seas, making her a reliable companion for long-distance cruising.
Powered by a dependable 80hp Ford Lehman engine with dual-circuit cooling, this yacht combines reliability with ease of maintenance, clocking 8,300 well-documented hours. Her accommodations are exceptionally well-designed, featuring a forward cabin, a large owner’s aft cabin with en-suite facilities, and a practical starboard bunk cabin. The saloon showcases a warm teak interior, complemented by green marble countertops in the galley and wet areas. A dedicated workshop, accessed from the aft heads, ensures onboard maintenance is effortless, ideal for extended journeys.
Key highlights include a powerful 1,000W Lofrans Tiger windlass, extensive tankage (1,500L water, 1,140L diesel), a Victron energy system with solar panels, and a comprehensive suite of Raymarine navigation instruments. The Delta 46 also comes equipped with full winter covers and a robust Pischel Bolero dinghy with a 15hp Yamaha outboard. Having been cared for by her original owner throughout her life, this yacht stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and dedicated upkeep—a perfect choice for adventurers who demand reliability and timeless quality.
