There is no other off-shore cruising yacht of its size to compare with the all around qualities of the J/46 considering the important attributes of seaworthiness, ease of handling and live-a-board comfort. The sea is unforgiving so a lesser boat at any price is no bargain for those who can afford and want to sail the best.  Hooper's Yachts sold her first J/46 (hull #7) in the year 2000 for a couple planning their retirement circumnavigation.  They chose the J/46 over other brands because they knew that the two of them could handle a boat of this size in off-shore conditions. First attracted to the J/160, they were delighted when the J/46 came to market as it fit their budget better without compromise to quality, performance or cruising amenities.
