Seamaster 46 - 1981 - fully upgraded Qua

Seamaster 46 - 1981 - fully upgraded Quality Blue Water Cruiser (Polish/EU Flag).
The Seamaster 46 boats are designed by the well-known designer Robert Perry. The Seamaster design have been called a "Nauticat with extra everything". A fantastic strong boat, that can handle any climate and waters. The ideal Cruiser for couple or family wanting very safe and comfortable cruising any place in the world. You will feel safe, either in Patagonia, Greenland, The Med or in the South Pacific! ...S/Y TAO has been fully upgraded and Rigg, Interior, Exterior and Engine were rebuilt and upgraded over the last years.
Seamaster 46 is a classic quality boat build in Taiwan and is well known all over the world for its solid design, uncompromising quality thinking and fantastic amenities. A so-called "deck salon design" that means great freedom for the crew, because of the benefits of good visibility when you are inside the boat and avoid the typical "basement feeling" you can experience in traditional sailboats. The cockpit fitted with a "Doghouse" to protect from all-weather if you choose to stay outside in the well protected cockpit. Inside is the completely updated salon area with raised
dinette that seats 6 and a large pantry/kitchen, separated from the large aft cabin (you access both from outside aft deck and from salon), and the large forward cabin. You of course have two bathrooms, ensuite to the cabin in the aft, and one forward. This makes Seamaster a perfect "live aboard" boat that is very comfortable to both sail and live in for a longer period and in all climates. The aft section has a unique open aft cockpit, great for scuba divers, fishing, lounging, dining, sleeping, cargo... etc. At 20+ Tons fully loaded; her weight generates a beautiful motion on all points of sail. Her momentum carries her thru chop, and light breeze fall offs with ease. For a 20-ton vessel, S/Y TAO surprises many with her turn of speed in light conditions. Her bottom has a generous modified fin keel and the safety of a skeg hung rudder. With high bulwarks and high fixed stainless railings, heavy layup and oversized rig, she is a safe, strong, long distance cruising platform, or a truly comfortable liveaboard.
In this boat you have all amenities as a completely rebuilt 80HP Perkins engine, huge water- and diesel tanks, solar panels,2 inverters, a large kitchen/galley, 2 large double cabins, 2 toilets / bathrooms - separate shower cabin, Easy access to engine and electrical installations etc. The ability to steer the boat both from the outside and the inside (via remote autopilot), creates security in rough weather and provides great opportunities to use the boat significantly more than with many other boat types.
The interior is classic tasteful lacquered Taiwanese teak. teak floor has 13 layers of Epifanes lacquer.
This boat is from 1981 and has been upgraded in almost every part of the boat over the last years, such as rigging, engine, solar panels, wind generator, sea generator, arch, stainless fixed railing, hull Copper Coated, all seacocks and through-hulls replaced with Trudesign composite with manifold.

First owner was an American boat dealer who had her for 6 months before reselling. Owner number two sailed from US to Spain and locally in Europe. Owner number three was a British owner who sailed her for 5 years in Europe until the current owner bought her in 2013 in Spain. The current owner has done tremendous work with her and lived aboard while staying in Europe. He did plan to Blue Water Cruise, but family things changed, and he now moved to the far east and started a new life and business there and therefore no longer has time for sailing her, and wish to let her move on to someone who can use this fine yacht and enjoy all the improvements and upgrades done to her.

REMARK: Boat is on the hard in Portimao. All substantial work been done by local professionals and Mechanics. As engine and transmission was just completely rebuild (tested and OK) but need to have engine and drive train connected and engine start up and have prop mounted (cost for this borne by current owner, and all parts available).
Buyer will have to be prepared to do following (carry cost for but can be done on wharf or when in water): calibrate engine instruments when boat in water. configure second AIS, Radar, connect Horn (all cables there). Check fuel lines and gauges (all new), electrically connect front head (all cables there and plumbing done), check hydraulic fluid level when in water, test macerators (all new and plumbing done), replace main battery bank. Install engine battery. The aft cockpit door needs a little rectifying, and one winch can use service.
This estimated to be a couple of days with local mechanic who did the engine rebuild and cost car-ried by buyer for the jobs mentioned. Owner/seller can give a one day instruction (owner lives in the far east but will fly in to help and be available as stated).
