The R460 is a modified R450 - Design #13 and uses the latest in computer design and manufacturing technology to produce steel kits suitable for amateur or professional builders. The length has been increased by 300mm giving a larger boarding platform and better access to the aft deck. The kit components for the transom area have been improved and made easier to assemble.
The other major change is the addition of the 1.9m fabricated bulb keel. This is similar in style to the keel on the R415 - Design #61 and lowers the centre of gravity of the lead ballast by some 300mm which gives improved stability and performance over the keels originally designed for the R450.
The general construction details, sail plan, deck layout and accommodation layout are the same as the R450.
