The Chris White Atlantic 48
…is known to be an exceptional offshore cruiser and has earned much praise from experienced owner’s, crew, and delivery skippers. Designed by Chris White to be a high-performance, and efficient, long range cruiser. She has straight forward systems and is easily operated shorthanded, or even solo, and comes with a reputation for getting there at the head of the pac. The layout comfortably accommodates two couples in nearly identical port and starboard midship cabins, with a third, single berth cabin in the starboard bow. A generous galley, salon/pilothouse, and workshop, all together make spending time aboard easy and comfortable, even if the weather drives you inside.
The Forward Cockpit,
is a sailor’s playpen. Where you can feel the breeze on your skin and watch how the white caps feather off the tips of the sea. And, have great visibility of the sails, your instruments, and the upcoming weather. You really get an acute sense of the conditions for fine tuning the rig and course.
Best of all, I think the forward cockpit is a unique and precious space to have on a boat this large. A place where you can still have a relatively close, even intimate connection to, and view of, the sea and all she brings with her…
Dan Sammis
All your sail, autopilot, navigation, and engine controls are right there within arm’s reach. You seldom need to venture out of this secure, comfortable, and well protected space. But once the sails are trimmed, and/or if the weather gets nasty, the interior pilothouse is just a couple of steps aft, through the weather tight door.
