French shipyard Boréal introduced this aluminum-hulled 47-footer in 2020, designed by Jean-François Delvoye for serious offshore cruising. Built with the demanding conditions of high-latitude sailing in mind, the Boreal 47 2 features robust aluminum construction that can handle ice encounters and remote-water exploration that would challenge fiberglass hults. The boat's cutter rig configuration provides versatile sail handling options for varying wind conditions, while the combination keel and centerboard design offers both stability offshore and shallow-water access to remote anchorages. At nearly 47 feet overall with a displacement of over 30,000 pounds, this is a substantial cruising platform built for extended voyaging rather than weekend sailing. Notable design characteristics include excellent directional stability from the spade rudder configuration and respectable performance under sail despite the cruising-oriented displacement. The comfort ratio of 30.74 indicates a motion that favors seakeeping over speed, while the capsize screening value of 1.86 falls within acceptable parameters for offshore work. Boréal's reputation centers on building expedition-capable yachts for sailors planning arctic passages, circumnavigations, and other ambitious long-distance cruising adventures where reliability and strength matter more than racing performance.
