The Sydney 47 CR (Cruiser Racer) represents a sophisticated evolution of the Australian performance yacht, successfully bridging the gap between a podiumfinishing grandprix racer and a refined bluewater cruiser. Designed by the esteemed naval architecture firm Murray, Burns & Dovell, the 47 CR was conceived to offer the same hull speed and handling characteristics as its more Spartan sibling, the Sydney 47 (Grand Prix version), but with a significantly enhanced interior and a deck layout optimized for shorthanded sailing. Built during a period when the brand was synonymous with IRC dominance, the 47 CR utilizes hightech construction techniques, including vacuumbagged Eglass and foamcore sandwiches, to maintain a high strengthtoweight ratio. This model specifically targets the "fast cruiser" market, where owners demand the ability to participate in major offshore events like the SydneyHobart while maintaining the amenities required for comfortable family vacations.
