Seamaster 46
Description
The Seamaster 46 is a 46-foot performance cruising ketch designed by Robert Perry and built in Taiwan by Lien Hwa Industrial Corp. (sometimes associated with Seamaster branding) starting around 1981. It is a solid, heavy-displacement fiberglass boat known for excellent bluewater capability, long-range motoring, and comfortable liveaboard qualities. Owners often describe it as "built like a brick house" and frequently use it more like a sail-stabilized motorsailer due to its powerful engine and large tankage.
