ACCOMMODATIONS:

Beautifully handcrafted in satin varnished American Cherry with a teak and holly sole and Corian countertops, NOMAD's interior is both practical for offshore use and comfortable for entertaining guests at anchor. Her two-cabin layout with spacious island berth forward and quarter cabin aft plus convertible settee can sleep 6 comfortably. All hatches are locking and drawers and louvered cabinet doors have positive latches to keep gear in place. Large salon windows fill the living area with natural light. Opening ports and hatches with teak screens provide excellent ventilation, and there are plenty of handholds to ease one's passage through the cabin when the seas kick up or you're heeling over. Overhead dome and reading lights are well placed. Hella turbo fans are located in each cabin/space to assist with cooling. Courtesy lights illuminate the cabin sole underway at night.

The master stateroom is located forward of the main salon through a locking privacy door. NOMAD features a centerline queen-sized "island" berth that hinges up to access bin storage. Four drawers slide out from the aft end of the berth pedestal. The berth is fitted with a thick foam mattress. Two reading lights are mounted on the forward bulkhead. Long, closed shelves with sliding doors are outboard, up high, below the deck edge on either side of the berth. Aft to starboard, a cedar-lined hanging locker sits below an open shelf. A cabinet with four deep shelves is just forward. To port, another matching cabinet with shelves is just forward of the ensuite head. An overhead hatch, four opening ports, two dome lights, and 110V outlet complete this stateroom.  

The forward head is entered through a privacy door in the port aft corner of the master stateroom. This space is finished "white" for easy maintenance with select teak trim around the mirror and a removable teak shower grate in the sole. The Corian counter with 10" round stainless steel sink slides out, over the head when needed. A medicine cabinet is located behind the mirrored door. There is a light over the sink, dome light, shower hose with nozzle and bracket and 110V outlets.

The main salon is aft of the owner's cabin. There is a seven-foot-long U-shaped dinette to port with a fixed dining table, and a straight settee to starboard. The mid-section of the back rest of the starboard settee drops down to become a small table - great for a game of cards or a place for drinks! Bookshelves with adjacent lockers are above both settees. The straight settee converts to a comfortable sea berth when underway. The cushions are covered in white Ultra-leather upholstery.

The U-shaped galley is located to port and includes polished Corian counters, forward facing Scandvik double stainless-steel sink with Scandvik faucets and a Force Ten three burner propane stove with oven and broiler. A microwave oven is located in the roll top locker behind the stove. Jabsco fresh and raw water foot pumps augment the pressure hot and cold water system. There are two access hatches to the large top opening fridge below the counter just forward of the stove. An auxiliary freezer is located below the workbench in the mechanical room aft of the galley. Both refrigeration units are cooled by Seafrost 12V systems. There is plenty of space for storage of ship's stores, dishes, cutlery, and pots and pans. A dish rack is mounted above the sinks. While at first glance the galley will easily meet the needs of the most discerning chef, the space also meets the "safety at sea" requirement that is part and parcel of each Outbound yacht. When tucked into the U-section of the galley, one is not only secure but also out of the way of anything that might be launched from the stove top.

Aft of the galley to port is the navigation station. Situated adjacent to the companionway, the navigator will be in close proximity to those on watch allowing for clear communication with the helmsman. The top opening chart table easily accommodates all necessary navigational equipment. A Raymarine radar chart plotter display is mounted in the cabinet above the table and an ICOM VHF radio and Fusion stereo are located outboard of the chart table. The electrical panel is aft the helm seat.

The aft head is to starboard of the companionway finished in molded white surfaces that are both bright and easy to clean; a perfect place to shed salty foul weather gear before entering the main cabin. The stainless steel sink is set into a Corian countertop outboard. A cabinet above the vanity has sliding mirrored doors. The head faces forward along the aft bulkhead. A separate shower stall is forward and has a small seat outboard for seated showering at sea.

The guest stateroom is aft and to starboard and features a comfortable double berth. A divided thick foam mattress lifts up to access storage and the Isotherm water heater. There are lockers above and outboard of the berth with additional storage in cabinets along the aft bulkhead. There is a large hanging locker and bookshelves as well as two drawers below the berth. Two ports open into the cockpit, providing excellent ventilation.

One of the unique aspects of the accommodations aboard NOMAD is the space dedicated to the engine and mechanical systems. The companionway stairs lift easily on gas struts to provide access to the front end of the engine compartment which is well insulated. Additional panels in the head and guest stateroom provide excellent access to all sides of the engine. A dedicated shop and mechanical room is accessed via the aft head. The cockpit lazarette opens into this mechanical space, providing standing headroom at a workbench that runs along the port side when the hatch is open. The auxiliary freezer is located below the bench and there are drawers for tools and spares outboard. The watermaker is installed aft of the engine/below the cockpit with excellent access to prefilters and controls. There is also excellent access to the propeller shaft seal in this well-conceived space. Further aft, the steering quadrant can be easily accessed through a hatch in the aft bulkhead. While there is plenty of room for all the gear necessary for long term cruising, there is also space available to service these systems in conditions better than most stand up engine rooms.

DECK & HULL:

The hull of the Outbound 46 is designed and engineered for serious offshore cruising. Each yacht is individually constructed of 100% hand laid solid fiberglass laminate... still the preferred choice with a massive system of stringers, longitudinals and bulkheads that are carefully bonded directly to the hull while it is still in the mold. Laminates are increased in high stress areas and in the bow and bilge for added strength. Bi-axial fiberglass cloth adds to the overall impact resistance, outer layers of vinylester resin will protect against osmosis and Ashland MaxGuard premium grade ISO-NPG gelcoat will maintain the yacht's beauty for years to come. To eliminate keel bolts and for maximum strength, the hull and keel are molded as a single lamination. After the deck is through-bolted and sealed to the hull with 3M 5200 polyurethane sealant, the bulkheads are fiberglassed on their entire perimeter, not just screwed in place. All furniture is then carefully bonded to the hull, adding to the structural support system.

The deck is Baltek cored and vacuum bagged with the core materials removed and replaced with solid fiberglass with stainless steel backing plates and easy access removable overhead panels at all deck hardware locations. Pushpit and pulpit are 1 1/2" diameter stainless steel connected by double lifelines with gates port and starboard. Solid handrails extend from the pushpit to the midships gates to assist cockpit exit and entry. There are stainless steel grab rails along the coach top, a custom stainless steel double anchor roller, and six stainless steel 12" mooring cleats. There are ten opening ports and eight Lewmar hatches. Four dorades with chrome cowls, inside closures and line guards keep the air circulating in inclement weather when ports and hatches are battened down.

The cockpit is a safe and comfortable place whether driving the boat in a gale or resting in a quiet anchorage. The long seats provide plenty of room for entertaining, sleeping outside while your partner is on watch or sunbathing. Most importantly, the cockpit is deep and narrow with seat backs ergonomically designed for maximum comfort. For safety and comfort the Outbound 46 was designed to make moving about the cockpit and cabin as easy and safe as possible. A three-step companionway allows you to use the whole boat without having to plan a major voyage down a steep and unsafe ladder. Forward of the companionway is a molded sea hood with integral instrument box under the dodger. A walk-through transom with boarding platform and fold down swim/MOB ladder makes accessing the dinghy or returning to the boat after a refreshing swim easy.

Excellent stowage and load carrying capacity are designed into all aspects of the Outbound's hull and deck. Water (200 gallons) and fuel (180 gallons) tankage is below the sole and over the keel which adds to the boats upwind performance and opens up space under the settees and bunks for stowage. There is a large foredeck locker located forward of the watertight bulkhead that easily accommodates sails, dock steps, fenders anchors, or any cruising gear you want to keep out of the living spaces. The locker also offers standup access to the chain locker and makes setting and stowing the asymmetrical spinnaker a breeze. In addition to the forward locker there is a giant cockpit lazarette, a large propane locker, an outboard motor locker and room for the life raft under the helm seat for easy deployment.
