There is a choice of keel types combined with various draft options and alternate sail boat plans. This design can be customized to suit your requirements. Note that in the B version there are two double cabins in the aft section which combined with the extensive accommodation makes this boat ideal for charter operations. Already several New York 46's are already sailing and many more are being built in various parts of the world, some in radius chine steel and others in fiberglass.

The beautiful example of the NY 46 shown here was built by Ray Clark; Ray combined the NY 46 A and B versions to create this beautiful example in radius chine steel.

HERE IS WHAT RAY HAD TO SAY:

Hi Bruce,

First good sail was 120 nm ocean. We had only been out for 2 hrs sailing previously, though we had been motor testing / system testing for a few hrs as well prior

to the trip. Less than 14 hrs from point to point!! Happy as I am!

Had varying winds (5 to 17 knots) from 40 degrees apparent to about 200 degrees on the port side 90% of the time. Smooth seas with a 3 metre swell.

Full main (quite a roachy loose footed main 10 oz sail - dropped mast from 65' to just over 60' but extended boom by about 2.5' full batten with roller cars with lazy jacks) and 135% furling genoa for first 7 hours with wind about 12 - 14 knots at between 40 to 80 degrees apparent. averaged 7 knots +. No weather helm, not tender at all and accelerated well and the motion was beautiful!!! Still riding slightly high in water but I will add a keel heel of about 1250 kg this spring as I believe any impact will only be positive!

First light wind dropped to 5 - 10 knots and went aft of the beam. Set the Gennaker (the Plum!) which sets off a retractable 316 heavy walled 316 ss deck fixed bow pole that extends Gennaker tack about 3' forward of the genoa tack. Also has a snuffer arrangement. yacht went really well with this sail. Held it for 5 odd hrs - averaged 7 knots in 12 knots of wind and maxed out at 8.3 knots when the wind hit 20 - 17 knots for a time sailing with varying apparent wind. Swell was beam to so no surfing and the yacht felt it could go faster but we just took it easy and were not pushing her! Held this sail easily when wind went to 50 apparent.

Also have a furling staysail- 10 oz 105% set on the inner forestay. Very flat sail and will be used as a heavy weather sail as well as for close hauled work. Have not done any close hauled sailing as we are having a late start to winter and winds have been very light since I have gotten the yacht home last week.

Will keep you informed and will send you some photos . Have only some on boat photos and am awaiting some more to be emailed. Komeova is great and I could not be happier!! Great design!

Thanks for your assistance!!! Kind regards, Ray Crake

NEW CUSTOM FEATURE:

SAFETY SKEG IS AVAILABLE ON THIS BOAT.
The Roberts safety skeg is designed to take the best features from the LONG FIN / SKEG combination and add a SAFETY FACTOR. Many of you may be aware that skegs in general are vulnerable to damage so here is our answer to this problem. EMAIL Bruce to more details of this development.
