1982 Vagabond 47

This 1982 Vagabond 47 is a William Garden-designed cutter with a full keel and heavy displacement hull built for bluewater cruising. The fiberglass construction combines classic design with substantial build quality, featuring a traditional clipper bow and teak detailing throughout. A Ford diesel engine rated at 80 horsepower provides auxiliary power, with a cruising speed of 6 knots and a maximum speed of 8 knots. The cutter rig with new running rigging and good sail inventory suits short-handed offshore sailing, supported by robust ground tackle including three anchors and 100 meters of chain.

The interior accommodates up to seven guests across two cabins. The aft cabin features a full-beam queen berth with ensuite head and separate shower; the forward guest cabin holds a V-berth convertible to double. Two heads and two showers serve the accommodation. A spacious saloon with U-shaped dinette and straight settee opens to a secure galley with teak cabinetry, double stainless steel sinks, a top-loading fridge and freezer, and a hot plate. Generous storage and bookshelves throughout support extended cruising or liveaboard use.

The boat carries a 12V and 240V electrical system with two lithium house batteries, four solar panels, a Victron charger, and a newly installed soundproofed Fischer Panda generator. Navigation equipment includes Raymarine instruments, depth and wind sensors, ICOM VHF and HF radio, and AIS. A Sony television and Starlink Large system were recently installed. Recent upgrades include new davits, a new SR 250 dinghy with 5HP Suzuki outboard, and new running rigging. The hull and decks have been freshly painted. Two manual and electric bilge pumps, a 2000-liter fuel capacity, 500-liter water capacity, and a life raft support extended passages.
