Her impressive 277-gallon fuel capacity and 225-gallon water tank enable extended voyaging without reliance on frequent port stops, while the efficient horizontal shaft drive and Smart Fuel System(TM) ensure reliable propulsion and fuel management. Below deck, the hand-crafted teak interior, spacious staterooms with ensuite heads and separate showers, and gourmet galley make life aboard both elegant and practical. With abundant storage throughout and thoughtful features like the Convertible Cutter Rig(TM) and slide-out generator access, the 47LRC is a true liveaboard-ready yacht designed to cross oceans in safety and style.
