Overview

About this vessel

The Norseman 447 Center Cockpit sailboat is a highly regarded Bluewater cruiser known for its robust construction, thoughtful layout, and excellent sailing capabilities. Built with high quality craftsmanship, the Norseman 447 has earned a reputation among serious sailors for comfort, seaworthiness, and versatility. Designed by Robert Perry, the vessel features a strong fiberglass hull with a moderate displacement, providing both durability and a comfortable ride in various sea conditions. The center cockpit layout enhances safety at sea and maximizes interior space.

With its proven Bluewater pedigree, spacious interior, and thoughtful design, this 1989 Norseman 447 Center Cockpit stands out as a classic choice for sailors seeking adventure and comfort on the open sea.

Entering from the center cockpit, there is an open main salon area with the galley to port and the navigation station to starboard. The Main Salon Features a U-shaped dinette to port and a settee to starboard. Forward of the salon is the guest stateroom which features a V-Berth, ample storage and an enclosed head with vanity. The Galley is aft of the salon on port, and a forward-facing chart table is opposite on starboard. All the way aft is the master stateroom. There is an ensuite head on port with vanity and a separate enclosed shower. Numerous opening hatches and port lights plus the exquisite joinery keeps her light and airy throughout.

The Norseman 447 is celebrated for its balanced sailing characteristics, providing a blend of speed, comfort, and easy handling. The cutter rig configuration offers versatility and manageable sail plans, making it suitable for both short-handed and long-distance passages. The in-boom furling makes for easy sail reduction while still carrying a full battened sail. The boat's solid construction and well-protected cockpit inspire confidence in challenging offshore conditions.
