Shearwater Description

The Conser 47 is a beautiful, cutting edge design, high performance cruising catamaran. She was designed by John Conser and built by the Endeavor Catamaran Corp in Clearwater, FL. About 9 of the boats have been built, not all by Endeavor. Two of the Conser 47s are now in commercial recreational use in Maui, Hawaii and one of these "Paragon II", holds a speed record of 31 knots.

 This boat, hull # 6, “SHEARWATER” is definitely a beautiful high performance long-distance cruiser. She is ideal for a couple, a couple with two kids or two couples. Under sail she cruises at 8-10 kts  with a maximum speed of 20 kts!. She is very light for a 47 ft catamaran, (12,000 lb dry, to 15,000 lbs loaded). 240 plus miles a day are easily achieved. Her construction is Vinylester resin and triaxial fiberglass knitted cloth and Corecell foam core, vacuum bagged. Her bulkheads are constructed in the same way and integrally bonded to the hull and deck. This construction process yields a very light weight, and very strong and durable hull. With her light weight, close sheeting angles, long narrow hulls and twin keels, she is capable of good speed and very good windward performance, much closer than with most other cruising cats.

 Some other highlights of the design, boat and systems include: A light and airy salon and galley in the main cabin and two private cabins, one in each wing and hull. The mast is a Forespar rotating carbon fiber mast with auto rotate and manual control. The boom is a custom Forespar low profile aluminum boom. The mainsail is 1000 sf positive roach high tech mainsail. The main incorporates full battens, Schaefer Battslides and Airblocks. The jib is a full battened dacron with sheets lead aft in tunnels to the cockpit. In addition to the main and jib she carries a drifter and an asymetrical spinnaker and spare jib. Standing rigging is Aramid & SS rod rigging. The boat is powered by two Volvo Penta 2030 29 HP diesels. The deck is covered with Seadek 2000, a very real corklike, very durable non-skid surface and a real eye catcher.

 She is outfitted with a Spectra Watermaker and has two 100 gallon water tanks. She has B&G instruments and a B&G auto-pilot. She has the latest Garmin 5212, touch screen chartplotter and a Garmin High Definition Radar. She has twin helm stations, one port and one starboard. She can generate plenty of 12 VDCpower with two Air-X-Marine 400 watt wind generators, eight 80 watt solar panels and two 50 amp alternators. Her very big cockpit is totally enclosed with a beautiful, new bimini, top and sides.

 Her present owner recently completed a solo-circumnavigation on Shearwater. In 2008-2009 he upgraded and outfitted the boat for this circumnavigation at a price of $150,000 - half the boat is almost new!

Vessel Walkthrough

Shearwater's bright and airy main (bridgedeck) cabin is accessed from a tinted glass watertight door in the cockpit and festures the galley to port, fridge and nav station to starboard, and a roomy U shaped settee  that converts to a double berth forward.  The headliner and cushions were all replaced in 08/09 and the woodwrok is in excellent conditon.  Panoramic windows forward and aft and opening vents overhead create a great space for the heart of the vessel.

The hulls contain identical sleeping cabins and heads.  Forward in each hull is a fore and aft double berth on the inboard side.  Outboard of the berths is a raised flat area  that holds the engine room access door and is large enough for a single berth.  There are several lockers and storage shelves orund and aft of the berths.  In the after part of each hull are the heads with  electric toilets, sinks and separate showers.

A ladder leads up from each hull through a sliding companionway door to the cockpit.

The cockpit spans the full beam of the boat and has room to host a crowd,  A brilliantly executed aluminum frame and canvas bimini, with full side and rear curtains,  covers the entire cockpit and allows weather free access from the hull cabins to the main cabin.  Twin helms with full instrurmentation are located port and starboard in the cockpit and the hemsman is also protected by the bimini. All sail control lines are led to a central winch station aft.  Aft of the cockpit is a full beam trampoline for lounging, swim access, or dinghy storage.  Wide side decks with solid stainless steel double railings lead safely to the bows
