The Harpoon 4.6, a 15-foot (4.5-meter) sloop-rigged daysailer, represents a fascinating and highly regarded chapter in the history of Boston Whaler. Produced between 1977 and 1983, the boat was the mid-sized entry in a three-model sailing lineup that included the smaller Harpoon 4.0 and the larger, more common Harpoon 5.2. Designed by the prestigious firm C. Raymond Hunt Associates, the Harpoon 4.6 was engineered to marry the "unsinkable" safety of the Boston Whaler brand with the performance characteristics of a modern dinghy. Unlike the flat-bottomed utility boats the company was known for, the Harpoon 4.6 featured a sophisticated hull shape intended to offer stability for families while remaining capable of planing in a moderate breeze.
