Broker Comments:

PATRIOT is one of the most stunning Downeast cruisers ever built.  The fit and finish of the interior is outstanding.  She will impress even the most decerning yachtsman.  The joinery is exceptional, and the soft goods enrich a naturally beautiful environment.

 

The hull shape delivers both economy, and performance.  Happy to run in the 15 to 24 knot range, she can hit 27/28 knots when desired.  The hull shape slices through waves nicely.  Since new the vessel has averaged around .97 nm/gal.  Docking is very easy with the bow and stern thrusters.

 

The electrical system is state of the art with lithium house batteries that can run the various systems, including the lower deck air conditioning system, for almost 10 hours.  This system allows for a very quiet life aboard while running silent in battery mode. The generator is available when needed.

 

As you read through the listing you can see that all top-end, very reliable and name brand equipment was used in the outfitting of PATRIOT.  The extra investment when she was built, ensures long service life and trouble free use. 

Builder's desciption:

Modelled on the success of the Abaco 40’s unique performance and seakeeping characteristics, the Abaco 47 o­ffers a larger platform with more accommodation for extended cruising. Designed by Mark Ellis, the Abaco 47 utilizes the same proven hull form used on the Abaco 40. ‑ its innovative hull configuration allows the Abaco 47 to plane at low speeds (12 knots), affording a wide cruising speed range as well as extremely fuel-efficient performance.

 

The Abaco 47 is powered by a single diesel engine. The single engine series utilizes a Caterpillar C18 1136 hp diesel and will cruise in the low teens to mid 20 knot range with a top speed of approximately 30 knots.  The propeller and rudder are protected by a skeg that provides grounding protection, excellent stability and tracking in a seaway.  

 

The variable speed bow and stern thrusters provide excellent handling and maneuverability.  The Abaco 47 interior features a spacious master cabin forward with ensuite head and separate shower. A guest cabin with head to starboard with twin single berths.  The galley, to port, is open to the pilothouse providing plenty of light and ventilation, featuring separate refrigerator and freezer, induction cooktop and microwave oven.  The spacious pilothouse provides excellent visibility and seating comfort for dining and entertaining. Large sliding doors open aft, creating a seamless connecting between the salon and the generous cockpit seating area. Bruckmann Yachts will builds the Abaco 47 to order (semi-custom), allowing each client to personalize their yacht to suit their specific requirements.
