Dehler 46 Competition

The Dehler 46 is built for those who crave speed without compromise. From the cutting-edge Judel/Vrolijk design team, this yacht delivers razor-sharp performance with exceptional stability and precision handling. Lightweight construction, a powerful sail plan, and advanced rigging make it a formidable competitor on the racecourse--while still offering the versatility to cruise in style. For sailors who demand both adrenaline and innovation, the Dehler 46 is the ultimate choice.

In race mode Blakey is a rewarding boat to sail and responds to trim, heel angle and modes like a Grand Prix race boat. Blakey is an extremely quick example of the Dehler 46 as shown at 2023 HIRW when she came straight out of the blocks with two bullets, highlighting this boats potential. For competitive IRC racing and luxury cruising she offers the best of both worlds. Paul Eldrid
