Designed by renowned naval architect Ted Brewer, the Mariner 47 represents a thoughtful approach to blue-water cruising from the early 1980s. This substantial sailboat combines traditional seaworthiness with practical cruising amenities, making it well-suited for serious offshore passages and extended coastal cruising. Built by Mariner Yacht Company with fiberglass construction, the Mariner 47 features a fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration that provides excellent directional stability while maintaining good performance characteristics. At 47.5 feet overall with a displacement of 29,500 pounds and 11,500 pounds of ballast, this masthead sloop offers the weight and stability that experienced cruisers value for ocean passages. The boat's comfort ratio of 34.35 indicates a motion that favors seakindliness over speed, while the capsize screening formula of 1.79 falls well within the range considered appropriate for offshore sailing. With only seven hulls produced during its production run beginning in 1980, the Mariner 47 Brewer remains a relatively rare find that appeals to sailors seeking Ted Brewer's proven design philosophy in a substantial cruising platform capable of handling serious passages with confidence and comfort.
