The US 46 represents the pinnacle of the 1970s collaboration between American design and Canadian manufacturing prowess. Designed by Charles Angel and built by Grampian Marine in Oakville, Ontario, this vessel was the logical evolution of the US 42. Marketed under the US Yachts brand, the 46 was engineered as a heavydisplacement offshore cruiser, intended to compete with the era’s premium bluewater yachts. While many Grampianbuilt boats were known as "value" cruisers, the US 46 was a more ambitious undertaking, featuring a centercockpit configuration and a hull form designed to handle the rigors of ocean passages. It remains one of the largest and rarest models produced by the yard before its closure in 1977.
