Swedish builder Cr Yachts produced this performance-oriented 47-footer from 2003 to 2017, establishing the Cr 470 as a capable offshore cruiser with racing pedigree. Designed by Stephen Jones, this fractional sloop demonstrates the Scandinavian approach to serious sailing with its substantial build quality and well-balanced proportions. The boat's fin keel and spade rudder configuration, combined with a healthy sail area to displacement ratio of 22.87, delivers impressive performance both upwind and reaching. At nearly 30,000 pounds displacement with substantial ballast, the Cr 470 carries herself well in challenging conditions while maintaining the stiffness needed for spirited sailing. The hull design achieves a theoretical hull speed of 8.67 knots, making her competitive in both cruising and club racing scenarios. With a comfort ratio of 29.39 and capsize screening value of 1.9, this yacht strikes an appealing balance between performance and seaworthiness for extended offshore passages. The GRP construction reflects modern boatbuilding standards, while the 78-horsepower auxiliary provides reliable power for maneuvering in tight quarters or motoring in calms. This combination of characteristics makes the Cr 470 well-suited for serious cruising couples or racing enthusiasts seeking a capable platform for both coastal and bluewater adventures.
