Annapolis, MD
Hi, I'm Bernie Jakits. After 20 years of owning and running a successful brokerage in Annapolis, my partner Kate Christensen and I have merged our company with David Walters Yachts. We are happy and excited to be a part of something bigger and continue to live our passion that started long ago. When I was an engineer in the aerospace industry I had lots of time to read every sailboat review and follow every development in the industry. I dreamed of one day owning a distinctly different brokerage firm and it all came true when in 1997 I started RogueWave Yacht Sales It came out of a passion for the sea and love for the beautiful vessels that sail on her. My vision was to create a new kind of brokerage dedicated to honesty and integrity and desire to help people be successful and achieve their bluewater sailing vision. Kate Christensen joined me in 2001 to share that vision and bring her talents and expertise in business and marketing as well as her passion for sailing her Bristol Channel Cutter. Over 20 years, we built an incredible brokerage and consulting firm specializing in ocean going vessels and live aboard cruising sailboats. We have advised and guided over 800 Clients worldwide from as far away as Hong Kong, Brazil, Australia, Europe and everywhere between, so that they too can also achieve their dream of owning and cruising with a capable bluewater vessel to find and reach their own horizons. We have the experience and expertise required to really help people.
For over 45 years, I have sailed, delivered and worked on hundreds of different types of vessels. Representing many clients, I have sailed in the North Sea to Med, across the Atlantic, and in the South China Sea and the, Pacific, the Caribbean Islands and also both Coasts of the USA. Having owned and maintained over 3 million dollars worth of sailing vessels, I have vast experience with incredible sailing vessels from the Hallberg Rassy 53 or a Valiant 40 & 42, a Norseman 447, a PSC34, and a BCC28. I've sailed to many foreign ports and also lived aboard while raising a family. Kate and I have had the opportunity to have incredible sailing adventures aboard our boats from the amazing Bristol Channel Cutter to the Hallberg Rassy 53 and finally our Valiant 42 that we built new in 2008 when we were Valiant Dealers in Annapolis. We have sailed far and lived aboard; we have led the Caribbean 1500 to the Bahamas. We have raced to Bermuda. We have delivered boats from the North Sea to the Med and from Guatemala to Annapolis and of course from the Caribbean to Annapolis many times. Through that experience we can help cruising couples make the right decisions. I have decommissioned and shipped many vessels and put them back together again, for myself and also for our clients. I have upgraded each vessel we owned installing every system imaginable, and maintaining every boat properly. I have taught and advised clients so that they themselves will have a pleasant and rewarding experience. Being a fellow boat owner and having personally experienced both sides of being a buyer and a seller, I understand your concerns.
With these many years of experience I have come to know and appreciate what a truly high caliber blue water sailing yachts is and should be. As a licensed & bonded professional yacht broker, please give me the pleasure of helping you define your requirements and help choose your next passage making/offshore capable sailing or power yacht. My experience is gained from having had a 100 Ton USCG Master License, being a Captain on several ocean races, having been a Marine Surveyor, and of course my background as an MSME Mechanical Engineer. And most important of all, I have sailed over 100,000 offshore miles, on my own boats and delivering countless boats for client to about everywhere.
Now as the RogueWave Division of David Walters Yachts, Kate and I carry on the RogueWave traditions as Your Choice for Bluewater Boats! We continue to specialize in the bluewater boats we love; the vessels of quality, style, and substance.

The Outbound 46 is recognized as a wonderful cruising sailboat and passage maker. It was designed with purpose to be a great combination of offshore performance and liveaboard comfort. It is definitely a capable offshore bluewater sailing vessel with the performance to satisfy racing sailors with the safety can comfort to please the whole crew. She’s designed by the renowned racing yacht designer the late Carl Schumacher who is a well known designer of offshore racing yachts and famously the designer of the Alerion Express which might well be everyone’s idea of their last little sailboat. We think the Outbound 46 is a great bluewater boat by a semi custom builder.
We are pleased to offer this special 2004 Outbound 46 “Alaeris”. She is a unique vessel designed and outfitted for cruising “off the grid” cruising with DC power so you can even leave her on a mooring or anchored in the lagoon. Her owner purchased her new and specified all the systems with a single purpose in mind…sailing far! Alaeris is designed for independence and self-sufficiency with her 12v refrigeration and a DC generator, solar panels charging system, and 12 v watermaker. She has performed perfectly sailing free and far in an eight year circumnavigation! She’s been well maintained along the way and she has new sails and low engine hours!
After these eight years of cruising the South Pacific and Malaysia, and visiting amazing cruising destinations Alaeris’ owner was called back to work! Alaeris had arrived in Phuket and from there she was shipped on Dockwise to the states. She has just arrived in Annapolis and she’s being all detailed up for her next adventure. Read on!
We cannot say enough good things about the Outbound 46 as she is modern version of the traditional cruising yachts we love with all the critical features of a good offshore vessel. The Outbound is well built in China at the same factory that builds the Passport and the Nordhavn. The solid construction and with moderate displacement weight and a goodly amount of ballast give a yacht an easy comfortable motion in a seaway. Her pleasing lines and careful design specifications actually do spell performance. Her sailing characteristics are provided by a long waterline, moderate beam, high righting moment, and proper weight distribution. We all know that good sailing performance translates to added safety and confidence whether you are sailing downwind in a blow of beating off a lee shore.
The interior provides comfortable accommodations and the ability to load the boat up with everything you need. The companion way is just three easy steps down. The salon is a semi-raised salon with fixed windows that fill the cabin with light making if feel spacious down below. With a comfortable aft cabin at sea and the spacious centerline queen berth in the forward cabin that is super nice at anchor that is all you could want.

There is a seven foot long U-shaped dinette to port with a straight settee to starboard. The mid-section of the back rest of the straight settee drops forward to become a small table – great for a game of cards or a place for drinks! Book shelves with adjacent lockers are above both settees. The straight settee pulls out to convert to a comfortable sea berth when underway. As the tanks are low and in integral to the hull there is amazing storage under the settees as well as outboard.

HULL, DECK, & GROUND TACKLE The Outbound is built for offshore passagemaking! The hull is 100% hand laid fiberglass. The outer three layers were done with vinylester resin for blister resistance. In addition to the vinylester resin, the bottom has an epoxy non-permeable barrier coat. Knytex bi-axial cloth was used in the layup for added impact resistance. Additional reinforcement was added to bottom, turn of bilge and bow as well. While in the mold, heavy duty fiberglass longitudinal/floor/mast step/engine bed grids were glassed directly into the hull. All athwartships stringers, bulkheads, and furniture are glassed and securely bonded to the hull while still in the mold. Hull and keel were molded in a single lamination. The bulkheads are glassed to the hull sides with a water tight bulkhead forward seven feet aft of the stem head. The encapsulated keel has a 3500 pound bulb bolted to it (10,000 pound total ballast) for excellent righting moments. Three layers of glass cover the bolted on lead bulb. The deck was laid up and vacuumed bagged with Baltek Balsa core. Contrasting nonskid is molded-in and aluminum toe rail caps the hull to deck joint. High density foam is used in areas where hardware and deck fittings are installed. Chain plates, cleats, etc.). The solid watertight bulkhead seven feet aft from the bow gives you added confidence and security. The deck layout is ergonomically sound with unobstructed pathways from stem to stern. The cockpit seats are long enough to lay down on and narrow enough that you can brace your feet on the opposite seat bench and relax. The cockpit is deep and safe with high coamings and seatbacks so you are comfortable and relaxed on a passage. The dodger, bimini and side curtains offer protection from the elements and are in excellent condition. At anchor it is nice that the helm seat lifts for a walkthrough transom. The dedicated life raft locker is on the transom right where you would be able to climb in if you ever had to. On deck there are four dorades with cowl vents, eight opening deck hatches, and ten opening SS ports for excellent ventilation below. The pulpits and stanchions are 30 inches high. The stern pulpit is 1.25 inch stainless and wraps the entire stern to the amid ships lifeline gates. Stanchions are also 1.25 inches in diameter.
