My Vagabond 47 'Untethered Soul' is for Sale
By Owner, Paul Stinson
The Vagabond 47, a heavy-displacement staysail ketch designed by William Garden, was built for crossing oceans in safety and comfort.
'Untethered Soul' at anchor
'Untethered Soul', built in 1983, is in ready condition for cruising and is currently berthed in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.
Elegance, performance, power - a true bluewater cruising ketch.
She's an ideal size for long-distance cruising and can be handled by one experienced hand.
Her lines show a powerful sailing hull with fine entry, strong shoulders and a clean run aft. The raised quarter deck gives her her 'salty appearance'.
She stays on her feet, and moves comfortably at 8 knots. A favorable sail-area-to- wetted-surface ratio assures good light air performance.
Her shallow 5'3" draft allows her to cruise the Bahamas with confidence.
The cozy salon...
and an even cozier double berth...
