Hoek Design is a long-standing master in this field, and the Eagle 46, which was unveiled by Leonardo Yachts at Cannes in September, is unlikely to disappoint.The Eagle 46The Eagle 46\u2019s elegant and timeless lines feature very long overhangs, but there are state-of-the-art appendages under the water and a powerful sloop rig. The deck layout is set up for easy single-handed sailing and there\u2019s a large cockpit for family and friends to enjoy.
\nEcoDeck, a recyclable and sustainable material crafted from renewable, solvent-free resins, is used for the deck surface while flush hatches enhance the boat\u2019s aesthetic appeal.
\nBelow decks there\u2019s enough accommodation to spend a few days on board, including a double berth in the forecabin, a pair of 2m-long settees in the saloon, well-appointed galley, heads\/shower compartment and a large quarter berth.
\nProduction of the Eagle 46 is semi-custom, based on two core versions of the boat. The Carbon Edition has a Corecell carbon hull and deck, plus carbon mast and boom and North 3Di Endurance sails. The Vinylester Edition has a Vinylester vacuum-infused hull, aluminium rig, and North NPC Cross-Cut Nordac sails.
