Vessel Overview:
From the windlass positioned at the mast base to keep chain weight low and centered, to the tanks, batteries, and ballast strategically concentrated, the Boreal 47 delivers a level of sea-kindliness few yachts can match. Dual watertight crash bulkheads, forward and aft, offer an added layer of security and make this yacht truly expedition-ready.
Yet all this rugged practicality is wrapped in a design that feels effortlessly elegant. The Boreal 47 achieves that rare harmony of form and function — purposeful without being utilitarian, luxurious without a hint of pretense. And if you’re searching for a true ultra-shoal-draft cruiser that’s as beautiful as it is easy to own and maintain, you would be remiss not to experience LUNACY firsthand.
LUNACY was purchased new in France in 2017 and proved her pedigree immediately with a North Atlantic crossing to New England. She was showcased at the U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis in 2017 and 2018 and earned top honors as Cruising World’s 2018 Boat of the Year. Since then, she has spent idyllic summers on the coast of Maine and winters exploring the Caribbean and southeastern U.S.
Professionally maintained and continually upgraded by the highly regarded Maine Yacht Center, LUNACY represents a rare opportunity to own a Boreal 47 that is fully proven, meticulously cared for, and ready for her next adventure.
Step aboard — and discover why sailors around the world consider the Boreal 47 in a class of its own.
2018 Boreal 47 is an aluminum, lifting keel sailing yacht designed for serious offshore and high-latitude cruising. It was named "Boat of the Year" in the U.S. in 2018
