2007 Nordhavn 47

SEABIRD is for sale by her original owners who traded their Sparkman and Stephens sailboat to embrace life under power with a solid vessel that could take them anywhere. They took delivery in California and have traveled north to Alaska, south to Mexico and Central America, through the Panama Canal and the Caribbean, and crossed the Atlantic on her own bottom. Two glorious years were spent cruising the Mediterranean before shipping back to the US as on-deck cargo. A veteran of four different summer trips to Alaska and extensive ocean cruising, SEABIRD has travelled more than 40,000 miles, and since 2018 has enjoyed a more coastal lifestyle along the US west coast and the California Channel Islands.

SEABIRD is hull number 50 of this incredibly popular design. She is a 2007 model year, commissioned for delivery and handed over for first use in 2008. The most commonly desired features for a 47 are a flybridge with fiberglass stack and crane, and a two-stateroom, two-head interior layout — SEABIRD has these and much more.

She is one of the last five to be built and delivered in the U.S. Significant improvements developed over the first few years of production include 24V electrical, a full-size watch berth in the pilothouse, an opening hatch in the master stateroom, and the best equipment selections such as a Steelhead crane, improved Northern Lights generator panels, Lugger wing engine, fiberglass stack enclosure for the dry stack exhaust, saloon flat screen television lift and ABT TRAC active fin stabilizers. She also has SidePower electric bow and stern thrusters. With her Village Marine 600 GPD water maker, generator, air conditioning, abundant provisioning storage and Sub-Zero refrigeration and freezers, you can anchor remotely and enjoy life away from civilization for extended periods.

The cockpit provides an outdoor space for fishing or relaxing. You can enter aft from the swim deck or along the starboard side mid lower deck. The swim deck is a lower deck platform for easy water access by tender, kayak or swimming, with a large hinged swim ladder, two U-rails aft serving as fencing and two L-rails outboard for boarding support. A large built-in hinged entry door securely divides the swim deck from the cockpit. The cockpit is a long and wide mostly covered outdoor area with a large hatch access to the lazarette below. The covered starboard side deck transits outside the saloon forward and up to the Portuguese bridge.
