1985 Spencer 46
Exuberance is in excellent condition with many recent upgrades. This hull was built in 1985 but the vessel was completed and launched in 1990.
The Spencer 46 was designed as a robust offshore sailing vessel featuring a center cockpit, sloop mast head rig, battened mainsail and furling genoa. Her interior is bright and welcoming and is perfectly suited for passage making, featuring a two cabin two head layout, an extremely user friendly offshore style U-shaped galley and a large owners cabin aft with an en-suite head.
A few upgrades to highlight are: Completely upgraded AC and DC system including new wiring, new AC panel, new Victron Inverter/charger, new house batteries (system now set up for Lithium if wanted), new Balmar alternator charge controller, new B&G Chartplotter and NMEA backbone, new Hurricane Zephyr Hydronic heating system, new composting head just to mention a few items.
