About the BORÉAL 47

The Boréal 47 is a modern cruising yacht designed by Jean-François Delvoye and built by Boréal Yachts, with production records indicating builds from 2017. As a relatively new entry in the market with limited historical owner report data, specific long-term reliability trends are not yet established in the current corpus.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a comfortable, stable platform with a cutter rig, leveraging its high comfort ratio of 25.17 for manageable motion in moderate seas.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 22686.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 2.0, and a full/long keel configuration, the Boréal 47 exhibits strong inherent stability and robust hull form suitable for offshore passages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 462 and the Tartan 4400, as they share similar displacement ranges and full-keel or long-keel characteristics that prioritize stability and seakeeping over raw speed.
