1999 Frers VR Yacht 47

The Frers VR Yacht 47 is a purpose-built cruising sailboat designed for sailors seeking performance and efficiency under reduced crew. The design emphasizes a clean, manageable rig that prioritizes speed and handling without sacrificing comfort at sea. Built in 1999, the boat has remained in private use throughout its ownership history and has never been chartered or raced.

The yacht accommodates three cabins and features a carbon and Kevlar composite hull that contributes to light weight and responsive performance. Her fully-battened sail plan is engineered for power and ease of management, allowing capable sailing on all points of sail. A single diesel engine provides auxiliary power and maneuverability.

A comprehensive refit undertaken in 2014 and 2015 brought the boat to a contemporary specification. This included upgrades focused on reducing weight and optimizing the yacht for short-handed cruising, reinforcing her position as an efficient, high-performing offshore platform.
