Twin helm stations are positioned well aft, providing the skipper with unobstructed 360-degree visibility and keeping the entire cockpit area open and inviting for guests. Each helm features a new touchscreen Raymarine chartplotter that delivers full navigation, instruments, radar, and autopilot controls right where you need them. A central multifunction display and windlass control are neatly mounted on the cockpit table console, allowing seamless operation and monitoring from either side. Sheets are led aft directly to the helms via Harken hardware, with a Harken 46, 2-speed electric winch on the port side coachroof dedicated to the main halyard and reef lines for effortless single-handed or short-handed sailing.The spacious cockpit seats 6–8 comfortably in the shade of the bimini around the large, folding leaf cockpit table, creating an ideal social hub for dining, relaxing, or enjoying the breeze. Everything is thoughtfully placed for safety, comfort, convenience, and enjoyment, making the cockpit a true highlight of this model.Descending below deck, drop down the wide companionway and you enter a bright, open interior that feels far larger than 47 feet and is refreshingly cool at the dock thanks to (3) zone AC units.The salon features a generous U-shaped settee to port with centerline bench seating around a large table that comfortably seats (8). Hull ports and overhead hatches flood the space with breeze and natural light, while indirect LED lighting creates a warm evening ambiance. Storage is abundant under the settees and in dedicated cabinets.Seamlessly integrated on the port side is the dedicated nav station—a full-size chart table with leatherette work surface, laptop space, and easy access to all electrical panels and electronics. It’s perfectly positioned for the navigator yet doesn’t intrude on the living area.Opposite, the galley is a true chef’s workspace with Corian countertops along the starboard side of the salon. Double stainless sinks with fill-in pieces if additional countertop space is desired, or flip one over to reveal a cutting board. Large top & front opening fridge and top-loading deep freezer that provides the opportunity for longer term provisioning. A (3)-burner gimbaled stove with oven, and massive storage throughout, soft-close drawers, upper cabinets with all new hydraulic hinges, and sliding waste/recycling bins make for a very well-equipped galley.Forward Owner’s Suite:Continuing forward, the generous owner’s cabin features a wide island berth with premium high-density foam mattress, reading lights, and excellent storage (large hanging lockers port and starboard plus drawers beneath the berth). A dedicated desk/vanity with mirror and lighting makes it perfect for work or getting ready. The ensuite head is spacious, with a solid-surface countertop, NEW marine toilet, and if desired you can separate the shower stall with a folding plexiglass door.Aft Cabins:The two identical aft cabins each offer large double berths (approx. 6’8” x 4’8”), hanging lockers, hull ports, opening ports into the cockpit, and private access to their own ensuite heads with showers. Storage is plentiful, and the layout keeps the cabins private yet easy to access. The starboard aft head is also new, while the port aft head has a brand-new pump.Condition & Comfort:Even though she’s a 2017 model, the interior looks exceptional—showing very little wear and tear thanks to meticulous care. The Alpi teak joinery was recently re-varnished and glows beautifully. Three independent air-conditioning units (Cruisair, approx. 34,000 BTU total) keep the entire interior cool and comfortable when plugged in at the dock.This (3)-cabin/(3)-head layout delivers privacy for three couples or a family, maximum living space, and true turn-key cruising readiness. It’s a proven, light-filled design that feels like a much larger yacht.Interior Comforts and Amenities• (3) AC units approx. 3400 BTU total — V-berth unit oversized (new 2024)• Quick 110V water heater (also heated by engine)• (3) electric heads (2 new, 3rd rebuilt with new motor and pipes in 2026)• Interior salon cushions (2024)• Custom V-berth mattress (2025)• Interior varnished (2024)• Faucets (new 2024)Galley:• White Corian countertops• Eno 3-burner stove/oven• Large top and front opening fridge with freezer• Separate large chest freezer• Espresso maker• Force 10 gas BBQ• Force 10 charcoal BBQ• (3) 10 lb propane tanks (2 in dedicated vented locker)• Hydraulic lifts on all cabinets (new 2026)• Cutlery, dinnerware, pots and pans includedElectronics and Navigation• (2) Raymarine dual display GPS (2025)• Raymarine Quantum 2 Doppler radar (2025)• Raymarine autopilot• Raymarine multifunction displays (wind/speed/depth)• Raymarine VHF• (2) Olympic 135 magnetic compasses• Quick digital windlass control with chain counter — located in cockpit for easy anchoring• Starlink Mini mounted on solar arch• Running lights (New 2026)Entertainment:• Fusion MS-AV700i stereo• Bose sub and cube speakers in salon• Clarion marine speakers in cockpit (New)Electrical Systems:AC: 110V / 60HzDC: 12V / 24VBatteries:• House bank: (2) Victron lithium ion smart batteries – 12V 200Ah (Professionally installed 2025)• Engine battery: EXIDE ES950 12V 85Ah• Bow thruster and windlass bank: (4) 12V AGMCharging & Electrical Equipment:• (2) BlueSun 440W bifacial solar panels on custom arch(2025)• 340W solar panel on cabin top• (3) Victron MPPT 100/30 solar charge controllers• Victron Orion XS DC-DC 1400 50A converter/charger• Dolphin Booster DC-DC 12/24V 30A converter/charger (for 24V bank)• Victron VE Bus BMS (battery management system)• (2) Cristec automatic battery chargers 12V/40A• (2) 30 amp shore power cords• Christec battery isolator• Windlass and bow thruster breakers• House and engine battery bank ON/OFF master switches• True Power Plus 2000W inverter (2024)• 12V outlets in each cabin, salon, chart table, and galleyDeck and Hull Equipment• Hull type: fin with bulb and spade rudder• Keel: shoal keel (5’4” draft)• New Rudder Bearing (2023)• Custom stainless steel solar arch and dinghy davit with integrated lights and Starlink mount• Lofrans X3 1700W 24V vertical windlass (2025)• Main anchor: Mantus M1 85 lb anchor with Mantus 316L stainless steel anchor swivel, 220’ of chain and additional 150’ of rode (2024)• Spare anchor 1: Delta 44 lb with 200’ of chain• Spare anchor 2: stainless steel Delta-style plow• Double stainless anchor roller• (6) aluminum mooring cleats• Deep anchor locker• (8) flush over-deck hatches• Salon side windows (new 2024)• Large forward deck storage locker• Stainless steel bow pulpit and pushpit• Stainless steel lifelines and boarding gates port and starboard• Forespar outboard motor lift (2024)• Canvas and isinglass (2024)• Cabin windows (2024)• Cockpit cushions (2025)• Mooring lines and fenders (new 2025)• Teak inlay on cockpit seats and swim platform• Hot and cold deck shower in cockpit• Vented propane locker with (2) 10 lb bottles (1 spare) — solenoid control in galley• Shrouds inboard for easy deck access• Dehumidifier (2025)• Dinghy Carib (newer 2023) with 15HP Yamaha Enduro (2025)• Socket set and other toolsSafety Equipment• EPIRB (new 2024)• Life raft, Seago Seamaster (8) pax canister (2024)• (4) fire extinguishers• Emergency tiller• Rule 1100 GPH automatic bilge pump• Manual bilge pump• Life ring• FlaresSails and RiggingSails:• Mainsail: Ullman sails, fully battened with (2) reef points (2024)• S.A. main: 456.14 ft² / 42.38 m²• Jib: Ullman sails, furling with UV strip (2024)• S.A. fore: 523.95 ft² / 48.68 m²• S.A. total: 980.09 ft² / 91.05 m²Rigging:• Rigging type: fractional sloop• Deck-stepped, double spreader, anodized mast (67’ bridge clearance)• Standing rigging (2019)• Running rigging (2024)• Main halyard (new 2026)• (2) Harken 50 (2)-speed winches• (2) Harken 46 (2)-speed winches (1 electric)• Harken mainsheet track on coachroof• Harken genoa tracks with adjustable lead cars• (18) line jammers• Most Harken blocks (replaced 2024/26)• Profurl C420 headsail furlerMechanical Equipment• Engine: Yanmar 4JH5E, 54HP• Watermaker: Schenker ZEN 30, 12V, 7.9 gal/h (2024)• Bow thruster: 24V Quick BTQ 185• Windlass: Lofrans X3 1700W 24V (2025)Safety Equipment• (8) person life raft (new 2025)• EPIRB (new 2024)Engine Info• Yanmar 4JH5E 54HP engine• SD60 saildrive• Gori (3)-blade folding propeller with Shaft Shark line cutter• Starter motor (new 2025 + spare 2025)• Alternator (new 2024 + spare 2025)• Heat exchanger (2025)• Engine display (2025)Tankage• Fuel: 54 gallon• Water: 163 gallon• Holding: 60 gallonOwners Comments and Boat History• Boat had complete refit in 2023• Boat had extensive ongoing upgrades in 2024, 2025 and 2026This is a fantastic sailing boat.
