I remember seeing one of these boats and thought it looked pretty good. A very moderate performance cruising boat from a good yard. $110,000 for one of these seems very low if it is in good condition might ba quite a bargain.

This is the Mac 47 I have bought. It is hull no.4.
Survey will be done soon but we have agreed on terms and everything surrounding it as long as the survey is good.
I missed that sailboat data of the draft. Will have to go back and look again. I like the layout of this boat. This is the 3rd different layout I have seen of the Mac 47. The
interior of this boat needs some
work - got some water staining on her here and there and some general scuffs around the
wood work. I plan to take all the
varnish off, sand it all down and re-varnish the
interior wood work.
I am also planning to take the keel off - so far no one recommends this but I want to be sure. I have no experience at this but I would think that at 35 years old taking the keel off for an inspection and reseating/sealing with modern sealants would be no bad thing?
I am going to get the
mast stepped so we can check everything to do with the
mast and replace whatever needs it.
Finally I am going to do a complete makeover on the
electronics - replace everything with 2021
electronics package and NEMA 2000 backbone through the boat.
Then I will be heading down the Red Sea and onto the
East coast of
Africa.
