2005 Outbound 46 Palm Beach FL

Experienced sailors know the added safety that comes with good sailing performance. The ability to sail off a lee shore, shorten a passage to within the available weather window, safely maneuver through heavy seas, and a cockpit where you can hunker down safely when the going gets tough.
Equally important is having the comfort required to avoid fatigue when heading offshore. A dry and comfortable cockpit, good visibility, and a forgiving motion are essential for a safe and enjoyable passage.
The Outbound 46 started with a moderate beamed, moderate displacement hull that can easily find its groove. Then, we raised the house a few inches to give space for 160 gallons of diesel and 200 gallons of water under the cabin sole, low and in the center of the boat, adding to the righting moment and keeping harmful weight out of the ends. This also allowed us to increase the height of the windows to fill the cabin with natural light and opened spaces under settees and bunks for massive stowage.  Where other boats have tanks the Outbound has storage. The result is a great sailing, very comfortable yacht with massive stowage and tankage required for a safe and enjoyable offshore passage.
 Finally, the Outbound 46 features a walk in lazarette with work bench, prompting the often heard comment at boat shows . the boat with the work shop.
