The Delphia 47 is a fractional sloop designed by Andrzej Skrzat and built by Delphia Yachts (POL) starting in 2009. With a displacement of 31526.0 lb and a beam of 14.7 ft, this vessel represents a modern, robust cruising platform, though the exact total hulls built remains unconfirmed in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize a stable, heavy-displacement platform with a fractional rig for manageable sail handling. Its substantial ballast of 11096.6 lb and low capsize ratio of 1.87 make it particularly well-suited for bluewater passages where safety and seakeeping are paramount.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 31526.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.87, the Delphia 47 is inherently stable and well-suited for offshore passages, provided structural integrity is verified.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other modern European cruising yachts from the late 2000s with similar displacement and fractional rigs, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 462 or the Beneteo Oceanis 46.1. These boats share the Delphia 47's focus on interior volume and offshore capability, though the Delphia distinguishes itself with its specific Polish build quality and heavier displacement.
