Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

LivelySea-kindly

Her light displacement on a moderate beam gives 23 — a moderate, middle-of-the-road motion.

Comfort ratio 23

CoastalBluewater

2.04 — right around the 2.0 line, the edge between coastal and offshore.

Capsize screening 2.04

LightHeavy

132 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 132

EasygoingPowered-up

20.1 — plenty of sail for her weight; lively and quick to respond.

TenderStiff

25% of her weight is ballast — on the tender side; she'll heel readily and want a reef sooner.

Light and lively — happiest day-sailing and coastal-hopping in settled weather.

The Beneteau Oceanis 47 is a 14.6-meter masthead sloop designed by Finot-Conq and Nauta Design, built by Beneteau since 2025. It features a fin keel with a bulb and dual rudders, displacing 10,981 kg. The eighth-generation Oceanis 47 prioritizes offshore performance and modular cockpit layouts, including an L-shaped cockpit with dual central tables that convert into a sun pad.4:06 The boat offers optional interior versions with four cabins/four heads or five cabins/three heads, and multiple interior mood options.6:30 It can be equipped with a shallow keel option, classic or performance mast, and various sail configurations including a furling main, self-tacking jib, Code 0, and asymmetric spinnaker.10:53 The Oceanis 47 is priced near $500,000 and has a CE Certification of A10, B11, C12. Compared to the Island Packet 439, the Oceanis 47 emphasizes modern interior volume, deck space, and performance in lighter air due to its lighter displacement and fin keel.3:48 Aboard SVN solovelanet, the Oceanis 47 was noted for having fewer winch positions compared to the Dufour 48, which has six winches.11:35
