Koopmans 47

Bluewater cruiser built in 1992

Sturdy and very seaworthy bluewater-cruiser from the drawing board of dutch designer Dick Koopmans. This Koopmans 47 has been built by a professional shipyard (Spiro Ships from Enkhuisen in the Netherlands). Solid construction in seawater-resistant aluminium and hull painting in AWLGrip (hull was repainted in 2000 at Wrede). The shaft drive, the hull shape with S-shaped bulkhead, the watertight collision bulkhead in the fore ship, the massive skeg in front of the rudder blade and the high ballast ratio (ballast: approx. 7,000 kg) make the Koopmans 47 a reliable, safe "heavy duty" yacht for long-distance cruising in uncomfortable conditions. Well protected, deep cockpit with high coaming, sprayhood and sprayhood attachment (converts to a doghouse in bad weather). Beautiful, massive and well finished interior in teak with frames and fiddles etc. in solid wood. 3 cabin layout with split saloon on two levels, forward owner's cabin, two aft cabins and two heads compartments.

This Koopmans 47 was custom built for her first and only owner and has many modifications and special details. The yacht is equipped with a wind generator, wind steering system, a sprayhood that can be converted to a doghouse and a shortwave radio system. The cockpit layout is designed for one-handed sailing: All winches including the central mainsheet winch are accessible from the helm station. In beautiful interior she offers an amazing amount of comfort and storage space.
