Her impressive 277-gallon fuel capacity and 225-gallon water tank enable extended voyaging without reliance on frequent port stops—this boat can cross 1,400 nautical miles on a single tank of fuel—and the efficient horizontal shaft drive and Smart Fuel System™ ensure reliable propulsion and fuel management. The gourmet galley makes life aboard both elegant and practical. With abundant storage throughout, chain plates are easily accessible for inspection, and thoughtful features like the Convertible Cutter Rig™, the 47LRC is a true liveaboard-ready yacht designed to cross oceans in safety and style. This is the kind of boat you can sail around the world with ease. She has been well maintained by her owners and is comfortable with AC throughout and a new generator.
