1986 Davidson 47

The Davidson 47 is a wooden cruising yacht built for extended passages and comfortable offshore sailing. At 47 feet with a 13-foot 10-inch beam, she combines classic design with proven seaworthiness. The hull construction and proportions support the kind of steady, manageable performance expected of a purpose-built cruising boat.

Below deck, the interior is finished in timber throughout. A single cabin and head serve the accommodation, with the layout organized around well-ventilated spaces and integrated storage. The cockpit is generously proportioned, offering room both for working the boat and for spending time outside in comfort.

Power comes from a single 48-horsepower Bukh diesel engine, known for reliability on long passages and fuel economy. A diesel heater extends the boating season across changing conditions. The boat handles efficiently under sail and with a small crew or solo operation in mind, the design favors ease of management over complexity.
