1979 VAGABOND 47

The 1979 Vagabond 47 is a timeless bluewater cruiser designed by the legendary William Garden, celebrated for his mastery of the raised quarter deck - the signature feature that gives this vessel her distinctive, salty seafaring character. Built on a robust fibreglass monohull with a 3.8m beam and 1.8m draft, she is built for serious offshore voyaging with the stability and presence of a true ocean-going passage maker. Below decks, the Vagabond 47 comfortably sleeps five across well-appointed berths, making her equally suited to extended liveaboard life or long-distance cruising with family or crew. Power comes from a dependable Ford Lehman diesel engine, long regarded as one of the most reliable blue-water powerplants ever fitted to a cruising vessel. A generous 380-litre fuel capacity ensures extended range between ports. The Vagabond 47 has earned a loyal following among experienced long-term cruisers worldwide, and this example represents exceptional value at NZD $250,000. If you're drawn to vessels with soul, provenance, and genuine bluewater capability, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an iconic design at an accessible price point.
