The CR 470 is a fractional sloop designed by Stephen Jones and built by CR Yachts (SWE) between 2003 and 2017. With a displacement of 29762.41 lb and a comfort ratio of 29.39, this vessel offers a balanced blend of performance and comfort, though the exact number of hulls built remains unverified in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and short-to-medium offshore passages who prioritize a comfortable motion and manageable handling over extreme racing performance.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.9 and a D/L ratio of 181.14, the CR 470 demonstrates moderate offshore capability, offering stability and safety for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than heavy bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Beneteau Oceanis 46 and the Hallberg-Rassy 462, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, beam dimensions around 14-15 ft, and target the same market of comfortable cruising sailors.
