The Malö 47 is a modern Swedish cruiser designed by Leif Ängermark and built by Malö Yachts in 2011. As a single-year production model with an unknown total build count, it represents a specific iteration of Ängermark's design philosophy, featuring a cutter rig and substantial displacement of 31085.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced cruisers seeking a robust, heavy-displacement vessel for coastal and offshore passages, particularly those who value the versatility of a cutter rig for single-handing or short-handed sailing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 31085.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 1.72, and a fin keel, the Malö 47 is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering stability and safety in heavy weather conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other heavy-displacement Scandinavian designs from the early 2010s, such as the Hallberg-Rassy 43 or Nauticat 43, due to similar emphasis on seaworthiness, comfort ratio of 36.38, and conservative capsize ratio of 1.72.
