From the Builder
This model was created for owners who not only wanted to live aboard full time, but to do so in a completely self-contained manner that would allow them to remain free of marinas for extended periods of time. To this end, she was fitted with the water making and silenced generating systems appropriate for such a mission.
One of the other distinguishing characteristics is the inclusion of a “glass helm,” a feature more often found aboard megayachts. Four PC-driven touchscreen monitors and a fifth portable wireless monitor display all manner of information before the helmsman, including engine gauges, navigation programs, real-time weather and video camera imagery.
Another big-yacht feature is the 47’s mechanical room, which houses the ship’s sea strainers and fuel filters, her electrical panel and inverter, gauges and generator panel, a fuel polishing system and oil changer. This allows the captain/engineer to perform most checks and maintenance while standing in air conditioned comfort. The utility room forms an ante-chamber with a door entrance to the engine room, and also serves as home to the washer, dryer and trash compactor.
Behind the pilot house is another signature feature of the Great Harbour 47—her Watch Cabin, complete with queen size berth and ensuite head. Her main saloon features a settee and big-screen entertainment center. Step down into the tremendous galley for a look at her 23-cubic-foot refrigerator, electric cooktop and convection microwave. Opposite is a dinette that seats six and converts to a berth for two. The master stateroom features a full queen size berth and incorporates an office area.
The owners wanted their 47 to carry kayaks and a sailing dinghy besides their RIB tender: two kayaks mount easily on the rooftop and the ample boat deck provides a platform for RIB and hard dinghy set stem to stern.
