Description
The true image of an offshore cruising yacht, the classic, beautiful William Garden Vagabond 47 Center Cockpit Ketch is a proven blue water cruiser.
One of Bill Garden's finest designs, the Vagabond 47 has set the standard for long-range voyaging sail boats: comfortable, capable, safe world traveler. Her beautiful teak interior lends a warm and inviting atmosphere for living, entertaining or voyaging.
She turns heads and commands attention everywhere she goes! She is not only good looking, but a vessel that was designed to be easily sailed short handed in almost any condition while giving the utmost comfort with it's 44,000 lb displacement. The Vagabond 47's loaded draft is only 5' 6" and yet she still handles well in light air and close to the wind and once a heavy displacement hull has a little way on, it will move steadily in the lightest of winds.
The ultimate liveaboard, cruising, weekender, or world cruiser, "Moonchild" represents the best value for top quality at a very attractive price. Check out her full equipment list and upgrades!
