Description
This Barnett Offshore 47 was designed in Seattle and built in New Zealand. Its first life was as an offshore race boat, and its current life with today's owner (24) years as a cruising and "live-aboard" style boat. She is a South Pacific veteran as well as a Pacific Cup veteran.
When her current owner bought her in 2000 he extensively upgraded the boat. It's been re-powered, all kinds of systems added and re-upholstered inside. Her main sail is now in a Leisure Furl Boom system. She sports a bow thruster to easily manage her in and around marinas. Kiss Air wind generator, Panda diesel generator and solar panels keep the batteries up. A Splendide washer / dryer in the forward cabin makes keeping up with clean clothes a snap.
All her navigation electronics have been updated. In a survey three years ago she was described as a powerful ocean going sailboat in the hands of an experienced and capable owner.

Accommodations
The interior is expertly finished in matching teak with Kauri ceiling and a teak and holly sole. Abundant storage is built into every conceivable nook. The interior appears to have been originally designed as an offshore racimg layout (with multiple narrow berths) and which has now been beautifully converted to a more comfortable live-aboard configuration. Berths in the salon have been turned into nice book shelves and the forward cabin is now a garage with tools and a vise plus a washer/dryer. The layout is center cockpit, large aft cabin with two berths, one a twin and one a single. The passageway fore and aft on the port side gives large access to the engine. That same passageway on the starboard side is the aft head and shower. The galley is an "L" shape on the starboard. Forward is a lovely and comfortable settee and table. Ahead of that is a second head to starboard and the forward cabin has lots of storage being used today like a garage and utility room. Vacu-flush aft head with Raritan manual forward head. Cabin heat is Wabasto Airtop 5000 Diesel installed with new ducting.
