BOAT INFORMATION
The Stevens 47 is a fast, three stateroom cruiser designed in 1981 by Rod Stephens of the legendary Sparkman and Stephens firm. The Stevens 47 is arguably the most well-respected blue water, three stateroom sailboats produced and is highly prized on the brokerage market.
Her soft motion in a seaway, swift 200 nautical mile per day passages, and luxurious accommodations are unrivaled by yachts of a comparable vintage. The performance of these Stevens is legendary.
The hull shape and keel-rudder configuration make them surprisingly stiff and fast boats, well-balanced in any condition with a smooth motion offshore. "Bimm" has been owned by the same family since 1984 and is still very original. She has been up and down the coast and to Mexico in the past.
She only has 839 original hrs on her Ford Lehman diesel which runs great. She is due for new standing rigging. Her sails are 12 years old and still in good condition. A great choice for offshore cruising
