The Warwick 47 stands as one of New Zealand's most respected bluewater cruising yachts, designed and built by Warwick — a name synonymous with serious offshore capability and no-nonsense Kiwi craftsmanship. This 1990 example stretches 14.24 metres on the waterline, carries a generous 4.85m beam and draws 1.70m, proportions that deliver genuine sea-kindly stability without sacrificing interior volume. Two dedicated cabins make her a practical choice for extended cruising couples or small crews tackling coastal passages and beyond.
Wellington is a tough proving ground — yachts that live and sail here earn their credentials in some of the most demanding conditions New Zealand waters can throw at a vessel. This Warwick 47 is priced at NZD $160,000 with a recent reduction signalling genuine vendor motivation. Warwick yachts hold their reputation well among experienced sailors who understand that offshore pedigree matters when the weather turns.
If you're searching for a proven, capable cruising yacht with the kind of structural integrity that only decades of considered design and quality construction can deliver, this is a hull worth inspecting seriously.
