2022 Dufour 470 Ocean review
The Dufour 470 uses a single deep spade rudder on a stainless shaft. Ballast is provided by an L-shaped cast iron keel that won't snag when coastal cruising - something the Dufour 470 looks eminently suited for. The ballast ratio is modest at only 26.9 per cent, but similar to many modern designs, stability comes from the wide beam and big ...

Catalina 470
Bought my C470 in April, and love it. Wife and I now live aboard full time, it's really great for that. Only real complaint is that it has remarkably little storage for a boat of its size, and you have to get very creative in where and how you store things. Our boat came with the captain's chairs in the salon, but they take up way too much room, and further reduce storage.

470 ON ORDER, NEED OPINIONS
Nov 12, 2000. #2. 470 options. Greg, I have a 380 with in mast furling. I sail on a 470 and am familiar with them. If I were ordering one I would have in mind to go cruising. With that in mind, I would opt for the tall rig. I would get a standard hoisted main, with three reef points. In mast furling systems can be very difficult to bring in.
Lagoon 470 Catamaran Sailboat Review
Like the rest of the boat, the hull/deck joint is well engineered and capably executed. One of the most noticeable changes from the old Lagoon 47 to the new Lagoon 470 is in the shape of the deckhouse itself. In the new design, there's a vertical leading edge that combines with 14 windows to greatly enhance visibility and lessen the ...

Hanse 470 & 531 for Blue Water
We have started to look at the Hanse yachts, specifically the 470 and 531. Both seem much stronger and more suited to blue water. I particularly like the 470, would seem more manageable but still suited to our end use in the Whitsundays. Rather than adding more water capacity to either yacht how do other members rate watermakers, I am thinking ...

The second model offered by Hanse in its updated "e" series is the 470e, which shows off well the crisp deck styling and gets a real big-boat look with its flush foredeck.
