Interior Accommodations

Turtle’s Back interior is beautifully finished in American cherry with satin varnish. All hatches and screens are finished this way as well. The cabin sole is thick teak and holly over plywood and has been finished in high gloss two part Awlgrip for durability. Locking drawers and cabinets can be secured. Large salon windows fill the living areas with natural light. Opening ports and hatches with screens provide excellent ventilation. There are plenty of handholds to make passage easy and safer when the seas kick up or you are heeling over. She can sleep six comfortably in two separate cabins and the salon.

The master stateroom is located forward, featuring a walk around island berth. This berth hinges up to reveal storage below, with additional drawers below the aft end. Sliding door lockers run along the hull sides, with a shelf below. There is a hanging locker aft and to starboard. The head is located to port, with a sink outside of the compartment in the stateroom just forward.

The main salon is aft of the master stateroom. There is a seven foot long U-shaped dinette to port with a drop leaf table with a straight settee to port. The mid-section of the backrest of the starboard settee drops down to become a small table perfect for playing cards or having a drink. There is a wine cabinet behind this table. Bookshelves with adjacent lockers are above and behind both settees. The settee coverts into a generous sea berth when underway. The battery bank and inverter/charger is accessed beneath the starboard settee. Cushions are covered in ultra-suede fabric in excellent condition.

The U-shaped galley is located to port and aft of the main salon and includes Corian counters, double stainless sink and Scanvik faucets. There is a dish storage rack above the sinks. There are two large access hatches to the fridge and freezer on the port side as well as a three-burner gimballed Force 10 stove with oven. There is generous storage including a pantry with generous open storage.

Across from the galley to starboard is the navigation station. Situated adjacent to the companionway, the navigator will be in close proximity to those on watch allowing communication with the helm. The top opening chart table easily accommodates all the necessary navigation equipment. There are drawers and lockers for tools, winch handles and binoculars. The chartplotter screen is here as well as VHF and SSB radios, electrical and tank monitors and generator controls. The electrical panel is a short reach across the passageway beneath the starboard side of the galley counter and hinges open to allow full access to the back for service.

The guest stateroom is located aft of the galley. This is a comfortable quarterberth with hatches and ports providing light and ventilation including into the cockpit. Lockers are above and outboard of the berth with additional storage in cabinets along the aft bulkhead. There is a large hanging locker a bookshelf as well as two drawers below the berth.

The aft head is to starboard. This is the ideal location near the companionway for access to the on watch crew or storage of foul weather gear. Molded surfaces that are easy to clean and impervious to moisture. A stainless steel sink is set into a counter forward and there is a mirror above. The Raritan electric head is outboard. A separate shower stall is located aft.

The garage is accessed via the shower stall. This space features a work bench with storage, Splendide washer/dryer and excellent access to the generator and other systems. The starboard cockpit locker lid opens to give this space standing headroom and ventilation. A door in the bulkhead aft allows access to the lazarette and steering gear.

Hull and Deck

The Outbound 46 design was conceived for serious offshore cruising. Each Outbound Yacht is constructed of 100% hand-laid fiberglass with a massive system of stringers, longitudinals and bulkheads that are carefully bonded directly to the hull while still in the mold. Laminates are increased in high stress areas and in the bow and bilge for added strength. Bi-axial cloth adds to the overall impact resistance and outer layers of vinylester resin protect against osmotic blistering. Ashland Maz-Guard premium ISO-NPGH gelcoat is used to protect the laminate and provide a superior gloss for years. To eliminate keel bolt troubles, the hull and keel are molded as a single lamination. The hull is coated with five layers of Interlux 2000 barrier coat before bottom paint. After the deck is through bolted and sealed to the hull with 3M 5200 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 cored with balsa and vacuum bagged with the core materials removed and replaced with solid fiberglass and stainless backing plates in critical areas. There are removable overheard access panels throughout to get to deck hardware. Pushpit, pulpit and mast rails are oversized 1.5” stainless tubing. Lifelines are taller than average at 30”, with a solid handrail leading from the boarding gates aft. There are stainless handrails on the cabin top and padeyes to connect jacklines and harnesses. Mooring cleats are 12” stainless, suitable for a large ocean-going yacht. There are ten stainless steel opening ports and eight Lewmar hatches. Four dorade vents and Nicro solar fans provide plenty of ventilation.

The cockpit is a safe and comfortable place whether driving the boat in a gale or resting in a placid anchorage. The long seats provide plenty of room for entertaining, sleeping outside 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 as possible. The three step companionway allows easy transit from cockpit to salon without having to use a steep and long ladder. A factory installed hard dodger protects the cockpit. Lights are installed in the dodger overhead and two hatches provide ventilation. A walk thru transom with boarding platform and fold down swim ladder make access to the dinghy and water easy. And there is a built in liferaft storage container accessible to the cockpit and platform.

Excellent stowage and load carrying capacity are designed into the Outbound’s hull and deck. 200 gallons of water and 190 gallons of fuel are stored in integral fiberglass tanks beneath the cabin sole which aids in upwind sailing performance and opens space under the settees and bunks for other stowage. There is a large foredeck locker at the bow, separated from the cabin by a watertight bulkhead and accessed from on deck. The locker also offers standup access to the anchor locker and makes stowing an asymmetrical spinnaker a breeze. In addition to the forward locker there is a giant cockpit lazarette, a large propane locker and access to the “garage” aft of the after head.
