Norseman 447 Center Cockpit

The Norseman 447 effortlessly combines speed, sea-kindly performance and a comfortable luxurious interior that is ideal for long-range passage making. The Norseman 447 has an efficient cutter sail plan with a straightforward deck layout that can be easily sailed by shorthanded crews. The hull shape is designed for excellent windward ability and light air conditions, qualities critical to today's concept of a modern performance cruiser.

One of Bob Perry's best yacht designs, the Norseman 447 incorporates a fine bow with a broad powerful stern to create an easily driven hull form that will stand up to sudden increases in wind speed by accelerating rather than healing. The Norseman 447 has ballast to displacement ratio of 44% and a sail area of 937 square feet combined with a modern underbody (long chord fin keel and a full skeg hung rudder).

The Norseman 447s were built in the Ta Shing yard, the finest boat building facility in Taiwan renowned for their skilled craftsmen and strict quality control. The construction of these yachts is unparalleled; they are known for their robust fiberglass construction, fine teak joinery and for fitting only the best hardware available

The interior plan is well thought out for both offshore work and comfortable harbor living especially the center cockpit version which has a bright airy tri-cabin 2-head layout that offers a centerline berth in the owners stateroom and full head room throughout (6'4"+). The interior joinery is beautifully executed in solid teak with elegant flush cabinet design and satin varnish finishes.
