Re: Vagabond 47

Dennis, I recently purchased a 1985 47'Vagabond. They're a very sturdy, seaworthy boat at it's best in winds over 20 knots. Beautiful under sail and lot's of comfort for a live aboard. No speed deamon but it will take you anywhere. Be sure to check the decks and prisms for leaks. The bowsprit can also have rot. Check all the chain plate bolts on the outer hull for rust. The chain plates themselves are glassed in on the inside and covered with woodwork, so if you have to change them it's a messy job. Good luck, Jack --Previous Message-- : Can anybody give me any info good or bad on a : vagabond 47 built by blue water yacht, : Tiawan. : thanks : Dennis : :
