1987 Warwick 46 for sale

Ariana is a semi-custom built vessel produced in Taiwan under the supervision of the boatyard manager for his own personal use. She was constructed with a solid fiberglass hull, fiberglass hat stringers spaced 12” on center, and 2” fiberglass floors with 20” on center stringers for exceptional stiffness and strength. The bulkheads were properly glassed in with foam to eliminate hard spots and improve structural integrity throughout the vessel. The teak decks were professionally reworked by removing the original screws and epoxying the planks down, replacing sections where necessary. The result is an epoxy-bonded teak deck system with many years of life remaining and no leaks. Ariana was repowered with a new commercial-grade Cummins diesel engine with very low hours. The engine is non-electronic, extremely reliable, and well suited for serious offshore cruising. The owner also commissioned a custom stainless steel pedestal for the vessel, a feature he was particularly proud of. Ariana is equipped with two autopilot systems, including one mechanical autopilot system for redundancy and offshore reliability. Her sail inventory includes cruising sails, Vectran race sails, a carbon spinnaker pole, one or two spinnakers, and storm sails, offering excellent versatility for both passagemaking and performance sailing. The upholstery has been renewed in Ultrasuede material, and the owner has taken exceptional care of the interior cushions, storing them wrapped in plastic in a separate storage area along with the running rigging when not in use. Ariana features a shoal keel design, providing shallow draft capability while still maintaining impressive sailing performance.
