Cardinal 46 (Warwick 46)
Description
The Cardinal 46 is a bluewater-capable cruising sailboat designed by Alan Warwick (New Zealand naval architect, founder of Warwick Yacht Design in Auckland around 1980; he passed in 2018 after producing hundreds of designs, including performance and luxury yachts). It's often listed as the Warwick Cardinal 46 (or simply Warwick 46 in the Cardinal series), a moderate-displacement masthead sloop known for solid offshore performance, good handling (easy short-handed or single-handed), and comfortable liveaboard accommodations. Built in Taiwan (various yards: Sen Koh Shipbuilding Co., Tania Yachts/Kaohsiung, others subcontracted)
