Macintosh 47 Cruising Yacht For Sale

 

MACH 1, the original first McIntosh 47 yacht, the only one ever built with teak gunwale cap (toe-rail), is now offered FOR SALE! She has meticulously restored and (still a few things to complete) she is sail-ready and available.

Built scrupulously to best standards, with central cockpit and 1.5m freeboard, these yachts are superb for island cruising and ideally suited for serious off-shore use.

The Macintosh's spacious cockpit makes for very pleasurable cruising with friends while the coachroof, complete with brand new B&G sailing instruments, and foredeck provide much space to relax and, store cruising essentials along the solid toe-rail. The shaded aft of the cockpit further enhances the comfort and convenience while cruising.

The interior of the Macintosh 47 can easily accommodate 8 people in 2 cabins and convertible saloon seating. There are 2 heads with shower and bidet. The Master Cabin head is also equipped with large basin for laundry.

Auxilary power is provided by a 75HP Yanmar 4JH2-HTE inboard diesel, supplied by 165 US gal in 3 tanks, enhanced by a newly installed fuel delivery system to ensure clean fuel only is delivered from all three tanks. The motor is rarely required to charge the batteries because she has 400W of solar panels fitted.

There are many enhancements and upgrades employed whilst keeping to Tim Kings' original design concept for a solid, fast cruising yacht.

Read here the owner's full description of Mach I and the enhancements made.

Due to the excellent refurbishment and her very good condition this yacht is appropriately valued but a sensible offer may be entertained for quick sale.

Ready to sail value: US$68,000
