1. Quality control - certification
ETAP Yachting NV builds the ETAP 46DS in accordance with the ISO 9001 (version 2000) quality assurance system. ETAP Yachting is one of the few boat builders in Europe to have gained this standard and to adhere to it. The Lloyd’s Register of Shipping is responsible for inspections. Measurements concerning unsinkability are based on standards formerly imposed by the French Marine Marchande. ETAP Yachting regards these requirements to be the most stringent in existence. ETAP Yachting implements CE certification according to module H.
2. Construction
Like all other ETAP yachts the ETAP 46DS is built according to the unique, double-skinned ETAP construction method (so-called ship-in-ship). This makes the yacht unsinkable. It also provides improved hull stiffness and low-condensation cabins thanks to the full insulation of the hull and deck and the unique interior finish. Fully flooded, the boat’s buoyancy allows it to remain afloat and stable with sufficient freeboard for the boat to be sailed. Fitting inner deck and inner hull skins creates a unique level of finish in the yacht’s interior: no decorating with moisture-repellent materials or plastic inner mouldings, but a structural GRP structure with the same standard of finish as the outer hull. The result is a maintenance-friendly, durable and aesthetically attractive yacht with above average residual value. The ETAP 46DS fulfils CE standardization under category A or World Navigation. The ETAP 46DS comes standard in a white hull and deck with trim stripes. The hull and deck are built in isophalic gelcoat. This top quality gelcoat guarantees long service life, exceptional gloss and long-term maintenance-friendliness and water tightness. Any GRP parts in the boat not treated with gelcoat are post-treated with topcoat for protection and easy maintenance. The hull and deck are built in glass fiber reinforced polyester (both isophalic and orthophalic). The first laminate layer is laid in short, individual glass fibers known as roving (not in mat or textile) in combination with a barrier layer in vinylester. This layer is laid on entirely by hand thus forming optimum protection against osmosis.
3. Hull
Characteristic of the ETAP construction is that, in addition to the floors and stringers, a number of inner hull skins are laminated into the outer hull, resulting in several unique advantages:
The very stable, robustly built floor assembly in the bottom of the boat ensures a very stiff structure which also serves as a base for tanks, engine, etc.
Floor plates and furniture incorporated in the inner structure guarantee precise construction with an attractive finish.
The inner side of the finished GRP is maintenance-friendly.
The mast base for the separate mast foot (not a through-deck mast) can be integrated in the hull structure.
Polyurethane foam (min. 95% closed-cell) is injected between the inner and outer hulls. This provides sufficient buoyancy capacity to keep the ETAP 46DS sailing even when heavily damaged. A substantial quantity of polyurethane foam is provided up forward for impact protection and fore and aft stability in the event of damage.
The standard ETAP 46DS hull incorporates a dual propeller bow thruster, type Side Power SP 95 kgf (or equivalent), with its own helicoidal 55 Ah battery, which provides a starting current of up to 800A to provide a powerful response.
Optional bow searchlights can also be incorporated in the hull for added safety when maneuvering in the dark. A heavy-duty aluminum rubbing strip with PVC profile is fitted over the hull-to-deck join. As an option the hull can also be colored blue.
4. Deck
The deck is also a double-skin construction. This creates such an excellent standard of interior finish that it is not necessary to use any extra, usually non-waterproof, decorating materials. Under the unique ETAP building process (ship-in-ship) the deck is insulated thus ruling out condensation almost completely.
Furthermore the deck, sun deck on the foredeck, cockpit seats and bathing platform aft are laid as standard in cork deck covering (Marinedeck 2000 Exterior). This provides a splendid finish and forms an efficient anti-slip surface across the whole deck. Since this covering is standard it can be laid recessed, which is more attractive and stronger. The laying pattern and the transitions between cork strip and rubber joint (guaranteeing a proper anti-slip effect) is the same procedure as for a teak deck. Visually it is barely possible to tell cork apart from teak. Moreover, cork offers the following benefits:
Excellent resistance to seawater and all such effects of the weather as dryness, moisture and very high UV radiation.
Resilient yet very strong.
Closed-cell structure provides good resistance to dirt and stains (no absorption).
Comfortable to walk on.
Provides very good thermal and acoustic insulation.
Can be used untreated.
Low weight.
Discolors far less than teak.
Environmentally friendly.
No specific maintenance necessary.
10-year guarantee on material.
You can find more information about this unique deck covering at www.marinedeck.net.
Sufficient space is allowed on each side of the companionway for the installation of several navigation instruments, enabling the entire crew to read them easily. Extra large screens for speed, wind and depth are installed as standard: Raymarine, type ST290 remote controlled from one steering position. Along the entire deck length the characteristic ETAP aluminum toe-rail ensures good support. They also serve for attaching fenders thereby avoiding overloading the guard rails and in heavy weather they function as a securing point for mooring lines and jackstays. Eight cleats of sufficient size for heavy mooring ropes are also fitted, with four located amidships. There is a 60 cm high twin guard wires made from plastic coated stainless steel wire with stainless steel stanchions and gates designed as fold-out ladders to port and starboard. A low-profile pulpit forward and a split pushpit aft ensure that you can step aboard with ease on all sides.
5. Deck fittings
The ETAP 46DS features a deep self-draining anchor and chain locker for collecting the chain effectively. At the bow and as standard there are twin stainless steel anchor rollers, a removable access ladder and a 1,200W electric anchor windlass powered from the helicoidal bow thruster battery. The anchor is a 20 kg Delta type with 70 m of 8 mm anchor chain. Aft of the anchor locker there is also a second, very spacious (800 liters) stowage locker for ropes, fenders, etc.
The deck superstructure is fitted with superbly integrated stainless steel grab rails.
All deck hardware is top quality and includes:
Genoa winches, manual, self-tailing, Andersen type 52 ST, fully stainless steel.
Halyard winches, manual, self-tailing, Andersen type 46 ST , fully stainless steel.
Mainsheet winch, electric, self-tailing, Andersen type 40 STE, fully stainless steel. The central electric winch enables the helmsman to operate the mainsheet from the helm positions. The manual genoa winches are positioned to allow either the helmsman or crew to operate them from the cockpit, so that the ETAP 46DS is equipped for single-handed sailing.
Turning blocks for operating running rigging from the cockpit. All blocks are supplied by OH of Denmark, some have been specifically designed for the ETAP 46DS, and are made from highly polished stainless steel. Running rigging is led partly below deck to keep the deck as clear as possible. In those places where turning blocks are mounted the running rigging is on view so it can be watched.
Two genoa tracks with genoa cars.
Halyard clutches.
A turning block with clutch for operating the control line of the Furlex 300 furling system.
An aluminum flagpole with support.
4 mooring lines: 2 x 20 m and 2 x 14 m.
8 fenders with fender cages for 4 fenders on the pushpit.
7 closable stainless steel dorade vents for permanent ventilation.
Filler caps for water and diesel.
Through-deck outlets for emptying holding tank.
ETAP through-deck cable fitting by mast foot.
An accidental gybe preventer (optional).
A mast-mounted floodlight for the foredeck (optional).
6. Hull-to-deck connection
The ETAP 46DS has a specific type hull-to-deck join which is characterized by the fact that the deck profile has a turned edge before the flat side deck. This creates more shape stability and more space inside the boat. Moreover, at ETAP Yachting this construction procedure is carried out so that the deck fits into the hull. Since the forces on a boat are essentially exerted from outside inwards, this creates a very safe construction. The hull is pressed against the deck and not away from the deck edge, as is usually the case. The result is an optimum triangular play of forces between standing rigging, the deck-stepped mast, deck and hull and thus less chance of water infiltration or bending. The hull-to-deck join is a triple process: first the deck is fastened mechanically to the hull, then laminated together and finally covered with a heavy-duty aluminum rubbing strip which is through-bolted and fitted with a PVC profile. The bottom of the rubbing strip has a rolled edge to prevent black stripes on the hull.
7. Cockpit and bathing platform
The ETAP 46DS has a very spacious, ergonomically designed cockpit divided into two zones: a crew section with a console for the fixed cockpit table with foldaway side pieces and the electric mainsheet winch, which is also accessible for the helmsman. The seats have two levels for seating comfort when heeled and as standard are covered in recessed cork. Two boom-mounted halogen spotlights can light up the cockpit (optional). Safety eyes are fitted in different places for the attachment of safety lines. The second part of the cockpit is designed for the helmsman. It has two consoles, each with a dark leather-covered 800 mm diameter steering wheel and an illuminated compass. The starboard console includes an engine control panel and operating lever and a remote control for the standard ST290 Raymarine depth, speed, and windmeter mounted next to the cabin entrance. There is also sufficient space for additional plotter / radar screens which can be built into either of the helmsman’s consoles. The helmsman’s seat and cockpit floor are concave-shaped for improved sitting and standing comfort. Visibility looking forward is excellent, particularly when maneuvering in port. To port and starboard there are cockpit lockers laminated up into the deck. This method prevents water entering the yacht’s interior from within the lockers. The self-draining, two-bottle gas locker is fully separated from the interior. The fixed copper gas line is protected three ways: by a relief-valve on the gas bottle, the shut-off valve in the galley and a bimetallic flame cut-off on the gas cooker. The gas locker is supplied with shut-off valve, relief-valve and hose. Three pumps are also provided: one manual to drain the bilge and two electric shower pumps. Two small extra seats in teak are mounted on the pushpit, which also has 4 integrated fender cages. Between the two steering wheels there is a passage to the bathing platform, which can be closed off by a small door. The bathing platform is cork-laid as standard and has an extendable bathing ladder. It is equipped with a shower with hot and cold water. This shower is lockable with a separate tap. A stainless steel life raft cradle can be fitted to the transom. On the transom there is also the socket for the 230V shore power connection. A 25 m electric cable with associated plug comes supplied.
8. Windows - hatches - ventilation and heating
The large side windows in the deck and the panoramic window are made in tinted safety glass and are flush-laid in the deck to give the ETAP 46DS a very attractive, clean-lined appearance. All hatches and hull windows are in Plexiglas. A fixed windscreen is also optionally available made in clear safety glass with an aluminum frame. Permanent ventilation is provided by 7 closable deck dorade vents fitted in the fore cabin, main cabin, galley and toilets. Also, in the aft cabin there are opening cockpit windows. In the fore cabin and saloon there are large opening hatches fitted with blackout and insect blinds on the inside.
Two GRP swing doors and a Plexiglas sliding hatch close off the cabin entrance.
Electric ventilation is provided in the engine compartment when the engine is running. The ETAP 46DS can be supplied optionally with a central heating system with hot water circulation operated by a 9.1 kilowatt diesel burner. Heating vents with individually adjustable room thermostats in the different compartments ensure optimum comfort. An air-conditioning system is also available as an option.
9. Keel and rudder
The tip of the cast iron 6’8” draft keel has a wing profile for increased lift effect. The keel is designed with a wide flange at the top for securing into a keel box. Stainless steel counter plates are fitted in the hull. This creates very good water tightness and a very sturdy structure, since the keel loading is transferred optimally onto the hull and floor plate structure. An optional 5’1” draft tandem keel is also available, which in terms of performance and stability is almost the same as the deep keel (stability curves available). It consists of a combination of a cast iron body and a lead bulb at the tip.
A pre-balanced elliptical rudder ensures a very efficient rudder action. Produced by a closed moulding technique the rudder blade is made in one piece with continuous glass fiber reinforcing. The rudderstock is made in seawater resistant aluminum alloy. A self-aligning needle bearing is used for the through-hull fitting into the rudder tube. This creates an excellent rudder feel, enabling fine-movement steering. Transmission from the mechanically linked steering wheels to the rudder is via short rod links (no cables). This is a very rigid, safe system which delivers very good “rudder feel” due to its direct transmission. An autopilot can be attached directly onto the steering system gearbox, providing additional security. The stainless steel emergency tiller can be engaged directly onto the rudderstock and used immediately (without having to dismantle steering wheels etc.).
10. Sails
The ETAP 46DS comes standard with top quality sails made by Elvström Denmark. To provide ideal shape stability the furling mainsail is fitted with several full-length battens and in the upper part with some additional shorter, vertical battens. These result in an attractive cut, the same area as a traditional mainsail (570 ft²) and ensure that very good performance is combined with very remarkable ease of operation. The foresail has a 140% furling genoa fitted with roll-up (foam) profiles and a sail area of 547 ft². The Elvström Denmark’s “Genesis” series is optional. Their sails are well-known as high quality film laminate sails for racing. The composition of these sails creates an ideal profile and extremely high stretch resistance. The “Endurance” version was selected from the “Genesis” series. These are racing sails modified for cruising and therefore more robust. Taffeta fabric on both sides provides the best possible protection against mechanical and UV loading of the internal fibers. These reinforcing fibers (polyester and Vectra) are laminated under computer control using the so-called “scrim-net” system. The mainsail carries the ETAP logo. Both sails have tell-tales and leech tensioners and all sails come with sail bags.
11. Rigging
The ETAP 46DS is equipped as standard with a Seldén furling mast set up as a fractional rig with two sets of streamlined spreaders. This furling mast has a patented bearing system that guides the furling system above and below thus ensuring trouble-free operation in difficult conditions. The mast has a separate cable duct for the electrics. Optionally it is also possible to make the furling mast electrically operated or to have a traditional mast with luff slides. The mast is not led through the deck but rather is deck-stepped on a mast foot. This guarantees a watertight structure that is easy to dismantle. The mast loads are still carried by the keel via the mast support below deck. Mast, mast support and keel are all electrically bonded. All electric cables from the mast are led through a very rugged ETAP aluminum through-deck fitting and connected below deck. The boom has a clew outhaul, which in combination with the furling mast control line, makes it possible to reef the furling mainsail from the cockpit. The insulated backstay can be trimmed using a winch handle on the mechanical backstay tensioner. All standing rigging is of stainless steel wire rope with roll-swaged terminals and Hasselfors tensioners on deck for ease of adjustment. Forestay, backstay and uppers are 10 mm diameter, the lowers 12 mm and the second forestay and intermediates 8 mm. Thanks to a combination of a rod kicker and vang with permanent gas spring the boom is constantly supported so that it can guide the mainsail optimally while being furled in or out. A second main halyard is supplied as standard and operating from the cockpit. A mechanical and an electric windex are fitted on the masthead. Messenger lines are fitted in the mast to facilitate the installation of any additional running rigging (spinnaker, second forestay halyard, etc.). An optional second forestay with snap-on tensioner can be provided, which can be set quickly. This second forestay can also be equipped with a furling jib installation with a suitable high-aspect foresail (option). The genoa sheet tracks are equipped with 2 extra (higher) genoa cars so that two sets of genoa sheets can be used.
12. Engine, engine compartment and utility areas
The ETAP 46DS is equipped with a 75 hp (55 kW) Yanmar 4-cylinder marine diesel engine, type 4JH3-TCE, with a dual cooling circuit for longer service life and greater operational reliability. The engine is mounted extremely accurately on a dedicated bed that forms part of the inner hull structure.
Extra attention is paid to sound insulation:
The whole engine compartment is lined with sound deadening, insulating material.
Rubber engine block supports dampen engine block movements.
The transmission runs through a Saildrive for better vibration damping and water tightness of the construction.
The exhaust system incorporates a silencer that separates cooling water and exhaust gases, preventing that typical popping exhaust noise.
The drive shaft is fitted with a three-bladed propeller. The engine compartment has lighting and an extra through-hull fitting for dewatering the anti-siphon and heat exchanger. It is also kept permanently ventilated by an electric fan when the engine is running. There is ample access fore and aft.
A seawater filter is fitted as standard to the external cooling circuit.
The stainless steel 280 liters diesel tank is fitted with an electric content indicator. Furthermore, the engine has optical and acoustic alarms for oil pressure and oil temperature, a revcounter and service hour’s meter, and indicator lamps for alternator charging control and pre-heating.
The engine is installed in full compliance with Yanmar instructions.
Besides the engine compartment there are two other utility areas provided as standard: one large one in the transom accessed via a hatch in the aft cabin and an additional compartment between the toilet to port and the cabin below the saloon with easy access via that middle cabin. As an option this cabin can also be fitted out as an area for sizeable additional utility installations.
13. Electrics
The ETAP 46DS has three 12V battery banks served by a charging current distributor: one bank for on-board consumption, one for starting the engine and one for the bow thruster and anchor windlass. These banks consist of three 120 Ah gel batteries for on-board consumption, one 50 Ah high power battery with a cold start current of approximately 800 A for starting the engine, and a similar battery for operating the bow thruster and anchor windlass.
The gel batteries for on-board consumption have a capacity equivalent to 3 x 155 Ah or 465 Ah in conventional batteries and offer many advantages:
A sealed electrolyte: the battery acid is bound in gel. So no battery acid can leak out, even when the battery is damaged.
Very low self-discharge: after 6 months non-use the battery will still have over 80% of its rated capacity, after 2 years still over 50%. So if put away full these batteries do not have to be recharged during a winter lay-up.
The batteries are completely maintenance-free and fully sealed.
The batteries tolerate momentary, deep discharges very well.
Besides the advantages of gel batteries, there are also benefits for the bow thruster/anchor windlass battery and the starter battery. These batteries are based on orbital technology enabling the active surface area to be enlarged so that they can release very big currents. Naturally this is of particular interest with these kinds of application. It also means that the batteries have a far longer service life.
Each of the 12V circuits is fitted with a main switch and voltmeter.
An extra emergency switch provides the facility to use the service batteries as starting batteries.
The three battery circuits are charged by a 110V, 60A battery charger from shore power or by the engine’s 80A alternator.
Optionally a 12V, 4 kW diesel generator can be fitted combined with a 12V to 110V converter of 2,500W (peak capacity 4,000W). The diesel generator monitors the 12V and also, via the converter, the 110V system and starts up automatically whenever battery capacity becomes less than 40%. The generator has a maximum charging current of 260A. Generator speed is automatically regulated according to the charging needs of the batteries. A separate battery charger charges the starting and bow thruster/anchor windlass batteries. The ETAP 46DS has sixteen 110V plug sockets (4 x aft cabin, 1 x middle cabin, 2 x saloon, 2 x galley, 3 x navigation station, 1 x port toilet, 1 x starboard toilet, 2 x technical area), protected by an earth leakage circuit breaker and a double 12V connection at the chart table. In the saloon there is a stereo CD-radio with two built-in loudspeakers. Navigation lighting complies with International regulations. The ETAP 46DS has masthead tricolor and anchor lights, a steaming light on the mast and red and green navigation lights in the bow as well as a stern light. All wiring runs through plastic tubes or cable ducts and is numbered. Spare tubes are provided for additional instruments. An electrical diagram is supplied.
14. Water
Under the fore cabin berth there is capacity for 120 gallons of water, stored in a rigid polyethylene tank with an inspection hatch. Hot water is supplied from a hot water tank with a 10 gallon capacity, which the shore power, engine cooling or the cabin heating system can heat up to 90 °C (194 F). A variable mixer tap is fitted on the hot water tank to prevent combustion danger and appreciably increasing the quantity of hot water that can be made available. A 12V electric pump supplies the freshwater system in the toilets, shower, galley and stern shower with hot and cold water.
A manual bilge pump and two electric shower pumps are provided.
Waste from both toilets is routed to a 33 gallon holding tank. This tank is emptied via an electric macerator pump and a through-hull fitting or via a deck outlet. All the ship’s through-hull fittings are made from seawater resistant stainless steel or bronze, are coupled to reinforced hoses and are secured twice with stainless steel hose clamps.
Interior
1. General
The interior of the ETAP 46DS combines the benefits of a true deck saloon - a superb view to the outside while seated in the saloon - with a unique offering of two wonderful owner’s cabins and even a third very spacious cabin below the saloon. This layout is combined with unique furniture designed by Italy’s Stile Bertone, one of the best-known design houses in the world. The principal colors are formed by a light walnut laminate, combined with reddish-brown Brazilian Imbuya and dark colored oak laminate, all finished off with exquisitely shaped solid trim strips and frames, alternating in walnut or aluminum colors. Rounded shapes are used for the furniture, which gives the interior a special elegance and is very functional in a sailing yacht. The choice of laminate guarantees better scratch resistance, moisture resistance and reduced maintenance. A light blue Corian was chosen for the worktop finish. Cushions and curtains are provided in attractive, matching colors. The saloon cushions are supplied as standard in Alcantara. Waterproof plastics and furniture designed in-house are used for the bathrooms and shower. The tap and shower fittings are by internationally renowned designers.
