1998 Randesund Clipper 47, 745.000 DKK

OFFERS ACCEPTED

A robustly built ocean-going sailboat with plenty of space and potential—built on a hull from the Norwegian shipyard Randesund Båtbyggeri and fully refitted by the first owner.

Randesund Båtbyggeri in Norway was responsible for the design of the Clipper series, which was developed as sturdy long-distance cruisers inspired by classic ocean-going vessels. The boats are known for their sturdy construction, safe sailing characteristics, and spacious interior, making them well-suited for both long-distance cruising and extended stays on board.

The design features distinct classic lines with high freeboard, a sheltered cockpit, and a robust underwater structure. The combination of substantial weight, a deep ballast keel, and a sturdy build results in a stable and comfortable boat, built to handle long distances and demanding conditions.

The Clipper 47 is a spacious and solid 47-foot sailboat that prioritizes strength and comfort over speed. The construction is heavily reinforced with a single-laminate fiberglass hull and a cast-in lead ballast weighing approximately 8 metric tons.

The deck is constructed with laminated timber beams, 22 mm marine plywood, and 5 layers of 450-gram fiberglass fabric, resulting in a very strong structure. The entire deck is insulated with approximately 70 mm of insulation and lined with 5 mm Perstorp interior sheathing.

The rig is a classic ketch rig with wooden masts; the mainmast is full-length, while the mizzenmast is not. The sail set consists of a mainsail, mizzen, jib, and jib sheet—all sails are from Bainbridge.

The interior is spacious and practical, featuring a bright cockpit, a large salon, a functional galley, several cabins, and ample storage space, making the boat well-suited for both family use and extended stays on board.

This Randesund Clipper 47 is hull number 11. The hull was originally purchased from Randesund Båtbyggeri in Norway and delivered to Nyköping, Sweden, where the first owner—a trained carpenter—completed the construction and outfitting of the boat himself over a number of years.

The construction period spanned from 1991 until the launch on June 15, 1998.

The first owner kept the “Maria Therese” until 2021, when the current owner purchased the vessel and sailed it from Nyköping, Sweden, to Denmark via Bandholm and Korsør to its current location in Nykøbing Sjælland.

The boat presents an exciting project for the right buyer, as its basic structure is exceptionally solid, and an upgrade of the equipment and systems could bring the boat up to a standard that matches its strong foundation.

The engine is a Perkins M-135, installed in 1997. The hour meter reads approximately 385 hours, but the engine has not been in operation since the current owner took possession of the boat. It is estimated that the engine has run for an additional 200 hours or so in total. The engine was last serviced by Odsherred Marineservice on November 20, 2025.

The current owner has also installed a Webasto heater, solar panels, and a new Green Cell 3000/6000 inverter.

The Randesund Clipper 47 is not a typical mass-produced boat, but a solidly built vessel based on the hull design by Norwegian boatbuilder Colin Acher, with plenty of character and potential. For the right buyer looking for a spacious and robust long-distance cruiser with a classic look, here is a boat with a strong foundation and many possibilities.

The boat is being sold solely due to a frustrating situation involving a herniated disc.
