46 Trawler

The Cheoy Lee 46 Trawler has the distinction of being the smallest double-deck production yacht ever built. She’s constructed on a solid fiberglass displacement hull with a keel deep enough to protect the running gear in the event of a grounding. Her twin-level floorplan is arranged with the galley on the deckhouse level and three staterooms below. Because the beam is moderate and the side decks are wide, the salon dimensions are fairly compact for a 46-foot yacht. Aft in the salon is a staircase leading down to the master stateroom with its centerline queen berth and direct access to the standup engine room. The large amidships VIP stateroom is nearly equal to the master stateroom in size and comfort, and the single forward head compartment serves both the amidships and bow staterooms. Other features include a full teak interior, a wheelhouse, teak decks and cabintop, a functional mast and boom assembly, and an aft deck hardtop. The only engines offered in the Cheoy Lee 46 were twin 120hp Lehman diesels. She’ll cruise economically at 7–8 knots with a range of 800–850 nautical miles.
