Amara is a Ron Holland designed Magnum 46.5, custom built by Reliant Yachts in Durban, South Africa in 2003/04 (hull #001). She is a proven bluewater cruiser–racer, combining elegant lines, offshore strength, and a practical, comfortable interior. Built for performance and safety, she has the pedigree and equipment to carry you confidently across oceans.
Her powerful sloop rig, wide beam (14’6”), and deep fin keel deliver both speed and stability under sail, while her twin cockpit layout offers secure handling and comfort. Teak decks were professionally re-caulked in 2023 and remain in excellent condition.
Below deck, Amara offers six berths across three cabins, two heads, and a bright saloon with ample seating — making her ideal for extended family cruising or long-distance passagemaking. The seaworthy galley, dedicated nav station, and generous storage further underline her ocean-going capability. Air conditioning is fitted in the saloon, providing cooling comfort in the main living space, with airflow trickling into adjacent cabins.
She has been extensively upgraded with bluewater essentials, including a Paguro 4kW generator, Dessalator D60 watermaker (60 L/hr), solar charging system, Studer inverter/charger, Starlink satellite internet, and a comprehensive suite of Raymarine navigation electronics. For the adventurous, she also carries a dive compressor with tanks and an AB aluminium RIB (2022) with Suzuki 8 hp outboard, plus a complete set of spares worth over £10,000.
With a versatile sail wardrobe (mainsail, genoa, asymmetric spinnaker, and storm jib), robust ground tackle, and a safety inventory including liferaft, lifejackets, and AIS MOB beacons, Amara is fully equipped and ready for her next ocean crossing.
