1986 DAVIDSON 47

The Davidson 47 is one of New Zealand's most respected offshore racing yachts, and this 1986 example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Kiwi sailing history. Designed by the legendary Phillip Wilson, the Davidson 47 was built to conquer the world's most demanding offshore passages - and it shows in every line of its purposeful hull. Stretching 14.4 metres with a beam of 4.2 metres and a working draft of 2.28 metres, this monohull is engineered for performance, stability and speed in the Southern Ocean conditions New Zealand sailors know all too well. Berthed in Seaview, Wellington, she is ideally positioned for Cook Strait crossings and South Pacific offshore campaigns. With accommodation for one cabin, this is a dedicated racing machine rather than a floating hotel - every design decision prioritises speed and seakeeping over comfort. The Davidson 47's offshore race record speaks for itself, with sister ships having competed at the highest levels of New Zealand and international ocean racing. At NZD $220,000, this is an exceptional entry point into genuine blue-water offshore racing pedigree. Inspect today - yachts of this calibre and provenance rarely remain available.
