Dubois 46.5 - Kiwi Boats USA

Designed by the legendary Ed Dubois and built in Florida USA by Kiwi Boats Inc., this fully renovated offshore warhorse was originally commissioned for the Admiral's Cup in 1981. She has since been refitted for cruising with a raised coachroof, a hard cockpit dodger, and more comfortable interior accommodation. This proven passage maker is in immaculate condition -- every single system has either been restored or replaced from 2020 onwards, no expense spared. She is fast, capable, safe and fully outfitted for long-range bluewater cruising. Detailed maintenance record and recent survey available.
