Ataraxia is a slightly modified version of the PL46 design; length overall has increased to 14.79m or 48’6” including the swim platform. The increased length allows slightly more space in the engine room and in the saloon area, and allows Peter and Nicole to add a second cabin/office area opposite the galley.

The hull is being strip-planked with 30mm Japanese cedar sheathed with fiberglass inside and out. Structural members are laminated African Mahogany and the deck will be plywood on laminated beams. Her overall look is of a modern classic yacht equipped and built to cross oceans.
