Overview of the Vagabond 47, Classic Bluewater Ketch/Cutter (62 LOA) The William Gardner designed, Vagabond 47 Ketch/Cutter is a world renowned, serious, classic, bluewater cruiser. She is a head turner. When she enters any anchorage or marina her form & function will capture everyone's eye and light passions for truly classic bluewater cruising in style. Her name is "Paradise". She is a one owner boat. Her present owners have lived aboard her, cherished her, maintained her, cruised the Western Atlantic and Caribbean, and raised their family aboard her, from 1984 to present. She is truly a part of their family history, and now she can be a part of yours. She was designed and built by William Gardner for strength, comfort in crossing oceans, short handed sailing ease, and for bluewater stability with performance. Her heavy displacement and ballast, (respectively 40,000 lbs and 12,000 lbs), purposeful full keel and large attached rudder, insure straight-arrow tracking and positive directional control under all circumstances. She has a golden colored solid teak deck which has been very well maintained and is in excellent condition. She carries a strong, functional and very distinguished bow sprit. And her signature transom with dual portlights supports a powered boat-lift platform for the Boston Whaler and doubles as a great loading platform for transferring cargo, crew and provisions, and also serves as a swim and diving gear platform. She is ketch/cutter rigged for the highest possible degree of flexibility in setting and controling sail area and maintaining sail & helm balance. She is easily handled under sail or power by a couple or short-handed crew, in all wind strengths and on all points of sail. Her massive rudder lets her turn on a dime. Inside and below her classic honey colored Asian teak joinery abounds, from the large comfortable main salon and galley, to the two cabins each with an adjoining head. She can sleep a small army of nine. Aboard you will see the amazing care and craftsmanship she was given, from her furniture quality teak and holly sole to the handsome cabinetry and lockers, (which are literally everywhere), to the sculpted teak beams and braces supporting the deck & headliners. Stained glass, large brass barometers, a woodburning fireplace?..its all here. She is equipped with a reliable Perkins model 4-236 85 HP diesel and a Kohler 8 KW diesel generator. She carries 210 gallons for fuel in two tanks and 370 gallons of fresh water in two SS tanks. In addition she can replenish her fresh water supply at anytime with her onboard watermaker, conveniently located beneath the main salon floor. She sports many cruising necessities and conveniences, including two fully interfaced, Raymarine 12 inch, E series chart plotters, 48 nm radar, auto-pilot, 3000 watt inverter, AM/FM/CD with 3 separate power amplifiers and 12 hi-fidelity speakers spread throughout the boat and cockpit, dual heat & air conditioning units, actual wood burning fireplace with chimney, two heads each with a shower, plus a bathtub, 4 oversize reversible, opening hatches, over 20 opening, bronze, portlights, plus an 11 ft fiberglass Boston Whaler tender and a 35 HP outboard carried rigged and ready on the powered boat lift. My friends, if you long to own, sail and live aboard a serious bluewater cruiser, if you long to cross oceans or sail around the world in security, comfort and style, then by all means, come and see this boat. She will capture your heart and imagination. And she will let you realize your dreams of true blue water sailing with security and comfort, and at a truly affordable price.
