NORSEMAN 447 CENTER COCKPIT CUTTER
Please see Blue Water Yacht in Photos
The yacht was purchased in March, 2005 for a two year South Pacific cruise:
The stiff hull and very dry center cockpit afforded us comfort and stability in reinforced trade winds. She excels to weather and her relatively flat aft sections allow surfing downwind. Robert Perry, her designer, still speaks of the model as “a masterpiece.”
Inspection will prove that the Ta-Shing yard spared no expense in her initial construction and upgrades have respected the designer’s commitment to safety and speed offshore. She has been carefully maintained by a mechanical engineer.
“Sensei” is a safe and swift offshore passagemaker and has been refit in 2007. She will be available for sale in
