Features

This beautifully presented 46ft Laurie Davidson designed yacht is now available for sale, offering a combination of classic craftsmanship and thoughtful modern upgrades. Professionally built by Donald Brothers Boat Builders, she features a four-skin kauri hull glassed over, on laminated frames and a warm, elegant interior finished in teak and mahogany. Power is provided by a Volvo D2 55hp engine installed in 2012, running on shaft drive.
Accommodation is generous and versatile, with two double cabins fitted with innersprung mattresses (new in 2022), plus two single pilot berths and two additional single settee berths, comfortably catering for family and guests. The well-appointed U-shaped galley offers excellent bench space, a new oven and upgraded gas lines installed in 2025. Forward, the vessel includes a spacious head with a shower, vanity and toilet, and additional forward storage ideal for gear, ropes and cruising equipment. The large cockpit is protected by a solid dodger and bimini over the helm, creating a comfortable
and sheltered space while underway or at anchor. At the stern, a wide duckboard provides easy access to the water for swimming and to the tender. With extensive upgrades throughout and far too many enhancements to list, this yacht presents an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a proven, well maintained cruising vessel.
