Hva denne videoen dekker
The Saffier SL 46 is a 46-foot performance cruiser designed for simplified handling, featuring an all-electric sail control system and a carbon mast from Selden.▶ 5:25 During sea trials in 8 to 10 meters per second of wind, the boat maintained speeds of 7.5 to 7.8 knots while beating at 40 degrees to the wind.▶ 1:07 The vessel utilizes a vacuum-infused hull with a structural steel frame for rigidity.▶ 10:57 Key deck features include a hidden mainsheet winch mounted beneath the cockpit sole and a spacious cockpit layout optimized for day sailing.▶ 4:08 Below deck, the interior prioritizes a modern, minimalist aesthetic with rounded corners and high-quality joinery, though the layout sacrifices some traditional storage and cabin volume compared to standard production cruisers. The boat is powered by an 80-hp Yanmar engine and includes a 24-volt electrical system with lithium batteries and remote monitoring capabilities.▶ 4:21 While the Saffier SL 46 offers high-end performance and comfort, its premium pricing reflects its specialized design as a luxury day-cruiser rather than a high-volume production yacht.
