Description
This Vagabond 47, designed by William Garden and built by Bluewater Yacht Builders in 1986. She is a robust bluewater cruiser known for its solid fiberglass construction and full keel with skeg-hung rudder, providing stability and seaworthiness. Great Ketch’s staysail ketch rig offers versatility in sail handling, making it suitable for long voyages. The interior features a spacious saloon, galley, and multiple cabins, accommodating both living and storage needs for extended cruising.
Great Ketch has had her standing Rigging replaced in 2014. New sails were cut in 2019 and are in good shape.
