j 46 yacht

A true sailor's boat, ready to go offshorefast

The brochure lays it on the line. "This boat was created to the only rule that counts: The Rule of the Sea, which is timeless." Herein lies the philosophy behind the J/46, the successor to the well-established and highly successful J/44. J Boat's design brief called for a performance cruising boat that was supremely seaworthy and able to achieve 8-knot passagemaking speeds under sail, while treating its crew to a comfortable ride in the open ocean. The result is a sailor's boat, with an interior layout that reflects the realities of long passages and rough days at sea. The J/46 is a refreshing change from many boats of its size.

J/46While the J/46's sleek, streamlined hull with minimal overhangs and low cabinhouse has its ancestry in the proven hull shape of the J/44, new keel and rudder configurations contribute to its speed and ease of handling. The length-to-beam ratio is high and, combined with ample reserve buoyancy forward, makes for very controlled tracking in rough seas, with minimal steering loads on helm or autopilot. Greater balance of reserve buoyancy at both ends of the boat helps the bow lift up and over ocean chop and large waves. This was immediately apparent during a test sail in a moderate sea. There was none of the pitching and digging-in found in many boats with fine ends and full-midship sections. Even in 15 knots of wind and moderate waves, it showed no signs of hobbyhorsing and moved through the water without fuss and minimal motion. Although we didn't try this, the 46 would sail well under either jib or main alone. The J/46 has come a long way from the 44 in terms of construction methods. It's built by TPI Technologies using the company's patented SCRIMP method, a process that uses infusion-molded sandwich construction for the hull and deck. This method makes a light yet strong boat since the laminate has a much higher fiber content with less resin than in conventional layups. SCRIMP laminates, the company says, test out at double the strength of conventional hand-laid construction techniques.

One goal for the design team was to have plenty of sail power, but keep the center of effort low enough to maintain good performance in rough seas. A carbon fiber mast, with half the weight of an aluminum spar, provided part of the solution. A combination of a light, strong hull, a modern keel design with a lead bulb, and a carbon spar give the 46 a remarkable stability, which I could appreciate even on a 15-knot day. With a 110-percent genoa and full main, even a small crew can sail this boat hard in strong winds, an important consideration for a long-distance passagemaker. If the wind pipes up over 20 knots, simply roll up the jib and sail under full main, finally reefing in 30 knots. Above the water On deck, the layout is simple and efficient. A large, T-shaped cockpit separates the helmsman from the crew, with a comfortable bench seat aft that contains a lazarette and propane locker below. The 60-inch wheel is partially recessed into the cockpit floor and just the right size for sitting to windward or leeward when hard on the wind. Unfortunately you have to reach through the spokes for the engine throttle, something I found distracting when maneuvering at closer quarters. I would have preferred to see it on the starboard side of the cockpit. The main traveler and its controls are immediately forward of the helm, with two Lewmar 46s controlling the double-ended mainsheet.

Two long, contoured seats allow for sunbathing and are extremely comfortable when heeled, with sheet winches (electric on the test boat) close to hand. All halyards and sail controls are led aft to the cockpit, with two convenient self-tailers and an army of stoppers close to the companionway. You can raise and lower the main from the cockpit, especially if you invest in a Leisurefurl mainsail, such as was fitted to the test boatÑpractically essential if you are shorthanded.

The J/46 has one of the least cluttered decks I have ever encountered, with good nonskid, well-placed stainless steel cabinhouse grabrails and a locker recessed into the deck forward. The builder provides a single stainless steel anchor roller, but I would recommend investing in the second, optional one too. A convenient anodized toerail with well-placed fairleads surrounds the boat.

Down below You step down from the cockpit into a spacious main cabin, with a U-shaped galley to port and a navigation station to starboard. A small aft cabin lies under the starboard side deck, complete with double berth, a set of drawers and a hanging locker. This would make a valuable seagoing berth under way, but is hardly large enough for prolonged occupation. A head with shower is tucked behind the galley to port, with easy access to the Yanmar diesel from both the aft cabin and head as well as the companionway steps.

The saloon is airy, with three opening ports and lots of hatch ventilation, and the test boat was finished in cherry wood joinery. Teak is another option, but I found the cherry stunning. A U-shaped dinette with table is immediately forward of the galley, and with the conventional berth/settee opposite, you can sit at least six people down to dinner in comfort. There is a pilot berth outboard the dinette.

The galley is palatial, complete with a Force 10 three-burner stove with an oven, a large icebox (refrigeration is optional) and deep, double sinks. The U-shaped design allows you to wedge yourself securely in a seaway, but I would recommend installing a galley strap for the stove if bound offshore, as there is nothing to support the cook from the back while at the stove.

The navigation station opposite has a comfortable, forward-facing seat, with a large chart table with a hinged top. A useful shallow shelf outboard covers the battery space. There is plenty of room for electronic devices of all kinds, with the electrical panel behind your head. There is nothing particularly innovative about the saloon, but it is functional at anchor and at sea, with well-placed grab handles, rounded surfaces and a stainless grab post on the corner of the galley.

From the saloon you pass into the spacious forward cabin, with a larger head and separate shower compartment to port. Locker space lies to starboard of the head. Both heads have white plastic surfaces that are easily cleaned.

The forward cabin itself is a huge V-berth with central insert and shelves and lockers outboard. This is where I would sleep in port, for there is room to move about and stretch, a large hatch overhead for air and room to sit if you wish. No sartorial excesses here, just a thoroughly practical layout you can dress up any way you wish. Under sail The J/46 is a comfortable, well-appointed boat, with an interior finish that is very different from the somewhat austere decor of other racer-cruisers in the J Boat line. But this boat really shines where it matters, out on the ocean.

I backed the 46 out of the slip with fingertip control, the 76-horsepower Yanmar was barely audible in the cockpit. The remarkable steering, with only a full turn lock-to-lock, gave me the confidence to maneuver the boat at close quarters without wishing for a bow thruster. While passaging, the boat should cruise comfortably at 8 knots at about 2800 rpm, depending on the propeller installation.

Instead of the usual near-calms that seem to appear every time I head out for a boat tests, there was a magnificent 12- to 18-knot afternoon breeze, which suited the boat perfectly. We raised main and jib and hardened on the wind, making a comfortable 7 knots in the lighter puffs. When a gust came, the boat heeled and accelerated fast, with almost perfect balance and a level of control that I associate more with tillers than wheels. Above all, it was quiet, moving effortlessly over the chop and allowing almost no spray aboard. I got the impression it would be a dry boat in rougher conditions, an important factor when beating to windward for 20, 30 miles or more.

We cracked off on a reach and set the asymmetrical spinnaker from its convenient sock. Then the boat really came alive, reaching at speeds around 10 knots sailing on a beam reach. I never felt it was sailing out of control, and the boat could have carried the spinnaker in a lot more wind without a moment of concern. The ease of handling was also a revelation. True, setting spinnakers and large genoas on a boat this size can require a cast of more than a couple, especially on long passages and in strong winds, but the basic configuration of main and 100-percent genoa allows for astonishingly easy handling and safe passages under a wide range of open water conditions. A spinnaker snuffer with lines led back to the cockpit can ease the hoisting.

No 46-foot performance cruising yacht is cheap, but there is a lot for the dollar with the J/46. This is a boat that begs for sophisticated electronics linked to one another. I must confess to being a novice at such things, but it was fascinating to sail with an autopilot linked to GPS, radar and instruments. The boat could be fine-tuned effortlessly. Such electronic sophistication doesn't come cheap, but you would get more out of your 46 with such wizardry.

J Boats offers various refrigeration, power, and cruising packages, as well as a wide range of stand-alone options, so you can customize your boat to your heart's content. But what stands out with the J-46 is its blazing performance, exceptional comfort at sea and ability to make long passages in comfort.

Manufacturers Provided Description:

The J-46, with the help of state-of-the-art materials and building techniques, has evolved over ten years from the combined experience and knowledge of J Boats, TPI, and nearly 100 J-44 owners. The J-44 to date has been the most successful offshore 45 foot (44.9 ft) cruiser – racer in the world. Honored in 1990 by Sailing World Magazine as Overall Boat of the Year, the yacht’s reputation has continued to grow. Winner of the Fastnet, Sydney-Hobart, two TransAtlantic races, and the New York Yacht Club’s Queen’s Cup, the J-44 is the only class of yacht to ever be granted its own start by the Cruising Club of America in the Newport- Bermuda Race. The seaworthiness of the design is unquestionable. The sleek, low resistance shape of the hull was not designed to conform to any rating rule. This boat was created to the only rule that counts: the Rule of the Sea, which is timeless. The J-46 brings performance cruising to an exciting level. Using the seakindly hull shape of her J-44 predecessor, the J-46 benefits from recent advancements in construction technique, keel and rudder design, interior styling, and simplified sail handling systems to create an ideal offshore yacht. Two people can easily manage her upwind and down to achieve the same 8 knot passagemaking speeds under sail that is possible when motoring with a 76 hp diesel auxiliary. Many cruising yachts compromise sailing comfort and performance in favor of “dockside comfort.” What seems good at a boatshow may not be desirable when heeled at 15-20 degrees at sea. This fundamental difference in design philosophy sets the J-46 apart from other boats. The J-46 is designed from the outside in. The priority is sailing quality: how well the boat balances, how well she sails through waves with minimal commotion, and how well she treats her most valuable cargo – her crew. The same qualities that make J-46 a dream to sail also contribute to her seaworthiness, manageability, and performance. The J-46 is evidence that a high performance sailboat with predictable handling can also be comfortable belowdecks. The elegantly appointed interior, finished in satin varnished cherry, is befitting her status as an investment-grade yacht. The layout features two staterooms, two heads, and a large navigation station and galley, striking an excellent compromise between practical “working” space and comfortable living quarters. Unlike rule-inspired hull shapes, the J-46 features a high length-to-beam ratio combined with ample reserve buoyancy forward. High length-to-beam ratio ensures straight tracking in rough seas with minimal steering loads on autopilot or helmsman. Greater balance of reserve buoyancy in the ends of the hull also improves handling in following seas, helping to lift the bow over the wave ahead instead of submerging. Sailboats with fine ends and full midship sections are more difficult to balance and more likely to hobby-horse and spin out of control in offshore conditions. The J-46 balances so well she can sail with either main-only or jib-only sail configurations. The challenge in cruising design is to have enough sailpower and a low enough center of gravity for the boat to perform well. This is even more of a challenge with shoal draft cruising yachts. No boat will perform if the inertia of the combined weight of gear and hull weight being tossed about in waves overwhelms the stabilizing effect of sail area. The J-46 achieves added stability with a carbon fiber mast (which is half the weight of aluminum), the SCRIMP deck and hull (which are lighter and stronger than other production cruisers), and her modem keel design with lead bulb. The combination of these features results in unusual stability for a boat of this length and draft. TPI Composites has become the world leader with its patented SCRIMP molding system. Using similar materials, this process yields a J-46 hull & deck laminate tested at double the strength of the hand lay-up construction found in most other modern boats. The difference in strength is fiber content. A SCRIMP laminate has almost twice the fiber and half the resin. The process is so good, TPI has licensed the technology to leading aircraft and transportation companies for use in airframe and composite vehicle construction. The J-46 is designed to fly a modern asymmetric spinnaker with two people. An 18″ clearance between the headstay and the spinnaker halyard allows the spinnaker snuffer to roll around the face of the mast without getting fouled. The forward corner of the spinnaker is fixed to the anchor roller. The snuffer up – down lines are led aft, so that “snuffing” is simply a matter of casting off the spinnaker sheet and pulling the “down” line – all safely done without leaving the cockpit. Imagine being able to cruise with 100 per cent jib instead of an unwieldy genoa. Or, simply roll up the jib in over 20 knots of wind and sail with mainsail alone up to 30 knots without needing to reef. The mainsail flattens out with several strokes of the hydraulic backstay. The J-46 is easily sailed by one person with minimal fuss. How well does this boat sail Five of her less sophisticated J-44 predecessors sailed upwind to Bermuda in the rough 1990 race faster than all Swans between 48 and 61 feet in length. There is no other offshore cruising yacht of its size to compare with the all-around qualities of the J-46, considering the important attributes of seaworthiness, strength of construction, performance, ease of handling, and liveaboard comfort.

J/46 is a 45 ′ 11 ″ / 14 m monohull sailboat designed by Rod Johnstone and built by J Boats between 1995 and 2003.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Published Design Ratios for the  J46

1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio:  19.7

• Less than 16 would be considered under-powered;
• 16 to 20 would indicate reasonably good performance;
• Over 20 suggests relatively high performance.

2. Ballast/Displacement Ratio:  39.2

• Under 40: less stiff, less powerful
• Over 40: stiffer, more powerful

3. Displacement/Length Ratio:  161

• Under 100: Ultralight

• 200 to 275: Moderate
• 275 to 350: Heavy
• Over 350: Ultraheavy

4. Comfort Ratio:  26.7

• Under 20 indicates a lightweight racing boat
• 20 to 30 indicates a coastal cruiser
• 30 to 40 indicates a moderate offshore cruising boat
• 40 to 50 indicates a heavy offshore boat
• Over 50 indicates an extremely heavy offshore boat

5. Capsize Screening Formula:   1.9

• Under 2.0 (the lower the better): Better suited for ocean passages
• Over 2.0: Less suited for ocean passages

read more about these Key Performance Indicators...

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the J46

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of 19.7 suggests that, in the right hands, the J/46 will have enough performance to leave most other sailboats of similar waterline length well astern. 

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 40.0 means that the  J/46  will initially stand up reasonably well to her canvas in a moderate breeze, but she'll need a reef in the main to avoid heeling excessively in a gust.

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 161, tells us the J/46 is clearly a light displacement sailboat. If she's loaded with too much heavy cruising gear her performance will suffer to a degree.

5. The Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.9 tells us that a J/46 would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.

You step down from the cockpit into a spacious main cabin, with a U-shaped galley to port and a navigation station to starboard. A guest stateroom is aft of the Nav station and features a double berth, a set of drawers and a hanging locker. This would make a valuable seagoing berth under way. A head with shower is tucked behind the galley to port, with easy access to the Yanmar diesel from both the aft cabin and head as well as the companionway steps. 

The saloon is airy, with three opening ports and lots of hatch ventilation, finished in cherry wood joinery. A U-shaped dinette with table is immediately forward of the galley, and with the conventional berth/settee opposite, you can sit at least six people down to dinner in comfort.

The galley is complete with a Force 10 three-burner stove with an oven, a large refrigerator and deep, double sinks and abundant storage. 

The navigation station opposite has a comfortable, forward-facing seat, with a large chart table with a hinged top. There is plenty of room for electronic devices of all kinds, with the electrical panel behind your head. 

From the saloon you pass into the spacious forward cabin, with a larger head and separate shower compartment to port. Locker space lies to starboard of the head. Both heads have white plastic surfaces that are easily cleaned. The forward cabin itself is a huge V-berth with central insert and shelves and lockers outboard, a large hatch overhead for air.

The main traveler and its controls are immediately forward of the helm, with two Harken 48s controlling the double-ended mainsheet.  Two long, contoured seats allow for sunbathing and are extremely comfortable when heeled, with Harken 64 primary winches close at hand. All halyards and sail controls are led aft to the cockpit, with two convenient Harken 53 self-tailers and an army of stoppers close to the companionway.

The deck is uncluttered, with good nonskid, well-placed stainless steel cabinhouse grabrails and a locker recessed into the deck forward. A convenient anodized toerail with well-placed fairleads surrounds the boat.

The J-46, with the help of state-of-the-art materials and building techniques, has evolved over ten years from the combined experience and knowledge of J Boats, TPI, and nearly 100 J-44 owners. The J-44 to date has been the most successful offshore 45 foot (44.9 ft) cruiser - racer in the world. Honored in 1990 by Sailing World Magazine as Overall Boat of the Year, the yacht's reputation has continued to grow. Winner of the Fastnet, Sydney-Hobart, two TransAtlantic races, and the New York Yacht Club's Queen's Cup, the J-44 is the only class of yacht to ever be granted its own start by the Cruising Club of America in the Newport- Bermuda Race. The seaworthiness of the design is unquestionable. The sleek, low resistance shape of the hull was not designed to conform to any rating rule. This boat was created to the only rule that counts: the Rule of the Sea, which is timeless. The J-46 brings performance cruising to an exciting level. Using the seakindly hull shape of her J-44 predecessor, the J-46 benefits from recent advancements in construction technique, keel and rudder design, interior styling, and simplified sail handling systems to create an ideal offshore yacht. Two people can easily manage her upwind and down to achieve the same 8 knot passagemaking speeds under sail that is possible when motoring with a 76 hp diesel auxiliary. Many cruising yachts compromise sailing comfort and performance in favor of "dockside comfort." What seems good at a boatshow may not be desirable when heeled at 15-20 degrees at sea. This fundamental difference in design philosophy sets the J-46 apart from other boats. The J-46 is designed from the outside in. The priority is sailing quality: how well the boat balances, how well she sails through waves with minimal commotion, and how well she treats her most valuable cargo - her crew. The same qualities that make J-46 a dream to sail also contribute to her seaworthiness, manageability, and performance. The J-46 is evidence that a high performance sailboat with predictable handling can also be comfortable belowdecks. The elegantly appointed interior, finished in satin varnished cherry, is befitting her status as an investment-grade yacht. The layout features two staterooms, two heads, and a large navigation station and galley, striking an excellent compromise between practical "working" space and comfortable living quarters. Unlike rule-inspired hull shapes, the J-46 features a high length-to-beam ratio combined with ample reserve buoyancy forward. High length-to-beam ratio ensures straight tracking in rough seas with minimal steering loads on autopilot or helmsman. Greater balance of reserve buoyancy in the ends of the hull also improves handling in following seas, helping to lift the bow over the wave ahead instead of submerging. Sailboats with fine ends and full midship sections are more difficult to balance and more likely to hobby-horse and spin out of control in offshore conditions. The J-46 balances so well she can sail with either main-only or jib-only sail configurations. The challenge in cruising design is to have enough sailpower and a low enough center of gravity for the boat to perform well. This is even more of a challenge with shoal draft cruising yachts. No boat will perform if the inertia of the combined weight of gear and hull weight being tossed about in waves overwhelms the stabilizing effect of sail area. The J-46 achieves added stability with a carbon fiber mast (which is half the weight of aluminum), the SCRIMP deck and hull (which are lighter and stronger than other production cruisers), and her modem keel design with lead bulb. The combination of these features results in unusual stability for a boat of this length and draft. TPI Composites has become the world leader with its patented SCRIMP molding system. Using similar materials, this process yields a J-46 hull & deck laminate tested at double the strength of the hand lay-up construction found in most other modern boats. The difference in strength is fiber content. A SCRIMP laminate has almost twice the fiber and half the resin. The process is so good, TPI has licensed the technology to leading aircraft and transportation companies for use in airframe and composite vehicle construction. The J-46 is designed to fly a modern asymmetric spinnaker with two people. An 18" clearance between the headstay and the spinnaker halyard allows the spinnaker snuffer to roll around the face of the mast without getting fouled. The forward corner of the spinnaker is fixed to the anchor roller. The snuffer up - down lines are led aft, so that "snuffing" is simply a matter of casting off the spinnaker sheet and pulling the "down" line - all safely done without leaving the cockpit. Imagine being able to cruise with 100 per cent jib instead of an unwieldy genoa. Or, simply roll up the jib in over 20 knots of wind and sail with mainsail alone up to 30 knots without needing to reef. The mainsail flattens out with several strokes of the hydraulic backstay. The J-46 is easily sailed by one person with minimal fuss. How well does this boat sail Five of her less sophisticated J-44 predecessors sailed upwind to Bermuda in the rough 1990 race faster than all Swans between 48 and 61 feet in length. There is no other offshore cruising yacht of its size to compare with the all-around qualities of the J-46, considering the important attributes of seaworthiness, strength of construction, performance, ease of handling, and liveaboard comfort.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

What does cash option mean?

The major lotteries in the United States offer two jackpot payout options: annuity and cash.

The annuity option is paid out over time. There is an immediate payment and then 29 annual payments after that, increasing by 5% each year. The cash option is significantly lower than the advertised jackpot, but it is paid in a lump sum. You don't have to wait decades for all the money.

In some states, like New Jersey, you can win a lottery anonymously. That wasn't always the case, but now winners are able to stay anonymous under a law that was signed by Gov.
