First 47.7
Conceived by the famous Kiwi designer Bruce Farr, the 47.7 is every inch a performance yacht, from her big fractional rig to her deep fin keel. Without getting too technical, you can get an idea of the 47.7’s performance from the fact that these boats compete in the top class in most of the races they take part in.
The 47.7 is a good-looking boat from every point of view, with hi-tech fittings on deck and lots of glossy, curvy woodwork below.
High performance doesn’t mean you compromise on comfort. With a length overall of 14.8m/48ft6 and a beam of 4.5m/14ft9, the First 47.7 has acres of deck space and a huge cockpit. And for those used to the cramped accommodation of smaller, older yachts, the real revelation comes below deck – an exceptionally roomy saloon with headroom of over 2m/6ft6.
