1982 Norseman 447

The Norseman 447 is a Robert Perry design built for serious offshore cruising rather than cost-cutting production compromises. Constructed by Ta Shing in Taiwan, the boat features high-quality hardware throughout, including fittings from Harken, Schaeffer, Forespar, Maxwell, and other established manufacturers. At 44 feet with a 13-foot beam, the yacht is sized for capable blue water passages and achieves a cruising speed of 7 knots with a single diesel engine.

The yacht accommodates two cabins and two heads, laid out for practical ocean voyaging. Interior spaces are designed around the demands of extended offshore cruising rather than showroom appeal. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 9 knots and is built to handle the physical and practical requirements of long passages with a small crew.
