Used North Wind 47 Sailboats for Sale

The North Wind 47 stands as a definitive example of the "Spanish Swan" era—a period when the Barcelona-based shipyard aimed to compete directly with Northern Europe’s premier builders by producing heavy-duty, meticulously finished ocean cruisers. Designed primarily by the prolific naval architect Angus Primrose, the North Wind 47 was engineered for long-distance voyaging, characterized by a high-volume hull and a robust layup that reflects the shipyard's origins in industrial construction. While North Wind later became synonymous with the "Deck House" concept designed by Nautatec, the 47 belongs to the classic generation of center-cockpit cruisers that prioritized structural integrity and a secure, deep-cockpit configuration over the contemporary trend of lightweight, performance-oriented hulls. It is a vessel built for momentum and stability, rather than high-speed sprinting, making it a perennial favorite for sailors looking to traverse the Atlantic or the Mediterranean in comfort.
