2015 Dehler 46 Competition

Fast and versatile performance cruiser from the traditional German brand Dehler. The renowned and highly successful racing yacht designer judel/vrolijk & co. endowed the Dehler 46 with a modern hull, efficient appendages and a powerful sail plan. In addition to the yard’s standard specification, numerous options were available to adapt the yacht to the intended programme and the sporting ambitions of her owner. Strong, light and torsion-resistant construction built using vacuum infusion with a carbon fibre strongback (“Dehler Carbon Cage”) to absorb loads of keel and rig. As the yard’s flagship, the Dehler 46 represented the technological and design spearhead of the model range, something that is also reflected in her elegant, dynamic styling: Straight hull lines, an aggressive forward-tapering window band in the coachroof and a vertical stem and transom give the yacht a striking appearance. The functional, uncluttered deck layout allows both efficient handling by a full racing crew and safe, relaxed cruising for a couple.This Dehler 46 in Competition-version is now offered for sale by her first owner. The already very sporty yacht has been further accelerated with a Pauger carbon fibre rig with standing rigging in rod (approx. one metre taller than the standard aluminium mast), a T-shaped racing-keel with iron fin and lead bulb (draught: approx. 2,50 m, ballast approx. 3.150 kg), an extended rudder blade with Competition-profile and an exclusive sail wardrobe by Elvstrøm. Extensive specification including retractable Side-Power bow thruster (new 2021), two lithium service batteries (new 2021), inverter 2 kW (new 2021), electric halyard winch, folding swim platform, teak deck on running decks, coachroof and in cockpit, stainless steel mooring gear etc. The hull of this Dehler 46 Competition was wrapped in Anthracite Metallic in 2021. The yacht is moored in the South of France, has received continuous technical maintenance and care and can be viewed by prior appointment. Rig/SailsDeck-stepped, 9/10 fractional Pauger carbon fibre mast, painted blackTwo sets of aft-swept carbon fibre spreadersStanding rigging in rodPauger carbon fibre boom with two reefing linesHydraulic SELDEN backstay adjusterSELDEN RodkickerGenoa furling system FURLEX with drum below decksRunning rigging in Dyneema (new 2021)Fixed composite bowsprit for gennaker/Code-0 with integrated anchor rollerMainsail ELVSTRÖM HPM approx. 73 m² with two reefsANTAL mainsail track and slider systemLazy jacksBoom cover (new 2026)Furling genoa ELVSTRÖM EPEX approx. 54 m² (new 2026) with UV-protectionGennaker ELVSTRÖM approx. 180 m² (colour: black) on SELDEN top down furling systemGennaker gearDeckTeak deck on running decks, coachhouse roof, swim platform and in cockpitElectric anchor windlass QUICKMooring gear: Stainless steel ULTRA-anchor 21 kg with 100 m stainless steel anchor chain 10 mmRetractable mooring cleats forward and aft and retractable spring cleats amidshipsAluminium chafing protection rails on hull sidesSail locker below foredeckGenoa winches LEWMAR 55.2ST EVO RaceGerman mainsheet system with mainsheet winches LEWMAR 50.2ST EVO RaceElectric halyard winch LEWMAR 50.2EST EVO Race to starboardManual halyard winch LEWMAR 50.2ST EVO Race to portWide LEWMAR mainsheet travellerLEWMAR genoa tracks with line-adjustable sheeting carsLarge folding swim platform with swim ladderSpacious cockpit with twin helm stations, black GRP steering wheels and large consoles for navigation instrumentsSprayhood (new 2026)Cockpit shower hot/coldFolding cockpit table in teak and stainless steel with integrated lightCockpit lockers beneath cockpit seatsCockpit lockers in cockpit sole behind helm stationsOutboard bracket on pushpitInterior/LayoutDehler 46 Competition in 3 cabin layout with two heads and double berths in both aft cabins (Dehler 46 layout version: A1/B1/C4)Interior joinery in American cherry with laminated floor boards in teak decor with light stripesWhite ceiling panels and hull covers in anthraciteSpacious, bright saloon with U-shaped seating area and central bench seat at folding saloon tableLongitudinal settee to portSaloon upholstery in off-white leather with grey pipingForward-facing, sliding chart table with navigator’s seat to portDeck hatches, coachroof windows and hull windows in saloonL-shaped galley aft to starboard- Worktop in black Corian- Stainless steel double sink- Large electric cool box- Additional drawer fridge- Gas stove (3 burners and oven)- Waste bin- Stowage in lockers and compartmentsOwner’s cabin forward with island double berth, lockers, stowage compartments, shelves, deck hatch and hull windowsOwner’s heads compartment with sink, marine toilet and separate showerTwo aft cabins with double berth, locker, shelf, stowage compartments, hull window, deck hatch and porthole to cockpitLED interior lighting by ceiling spotlights, indirect light strips and reading lampsBlackout blinds and mosquito screens in deck hatchesTechnical EquipmentVOLVO PENTA D2‑75 4 cylinder turbo-diesel 75 hp/55 kWEngine hours (as of March 2026): 537 hSaildrive (new 2021) with 3-blade folding propeller Flex-o-Fold (new 2019)Retractable bow thruster SIDEPOWER (new 2021)230 V shore power connection with charging cableBattery charger Mastervolt 12 V/50 AAdditional battery charger MASTERVOLT 12 V/25 AInverter Victron Energy 12 V/230 V/2.000 W (new 2021)2 x lithium service battery 12/200X LiFePO₄ 12 V/200 Ah (new 2021)Starter battery 12 V/95 Ah (new 2026)Diesel heating Eberspächer D4+Hot water boiler 20 lLED navigation lightsNavigation/Electronics2 x 9" chartplotter B&G Zeus² Touch at helm stations2 x B&G Triton instrument display at helm stations3 x B&G 20/20 Maxi displays in bracket at mastTransducers for log, echo sounder and windAutopilot B&G RC42 with compass RC422 x steering compass at helm stationsVHF-radio B&G V50 with additional wireless handset H50Additional handheld VHF ICOM IC-M25Wi-Fi module GoFreeMarine entertainment system Fusion MS-RA205 with MS-Unidock docking station and MS-NRX200 remote control in cockpitSpeakers in saloon and cockpit speakersSafetyLife raft 6 pers.
