Full Description
Accommodations
- The Kaufman 47 cutter rigged cruiser is a quality built monohull with beautiful lines quite similar to a Swan. Mike Kaufman the designer of this pedigree vessel designed a sleek and fast yacht while still maintaining her comfortable and luxurious accommodations below.Starting forward and aft of the chain locker is the Master Stateroom. V-berth with filler, hatch above for light as well as ventilation and abundant storage with a settee, lockers, drawers and hanging locker to starboard. Her lovely teak joinery surrounds you with ceiling strips lining the hull sides as well as shelving. New linen headliner above and numerous Prisms add to her light interior while her teak gives her warmth. She has a dual access head to port that can be accessed from the Master cabin as well as from the Salon. This is a large head with vanity and toilet separate from the shower stall.
- Walking aft we now enter the Main salon; here she has a convertible U-shaped dinette to port that can convert into a double berth when needed. Her centerline table with drop leaves is accessible from both the dinette and the settee on starboard. Outboard of the settee and dinette are shelves and lockers. Aft of the settee on starboard is the aft facing navigation station followed by the second head. This head also has dual access from the salon as well as from the starboard aft cabin. Opposite the head to port is the U-shaped Sea galley with updated Corian counters. A private stateroom follows with hanging locker, storage, dressing settee and double quarter berth. An identical third private stateroom is to starboard with hanging locker, storage and small settee but also has private access to the aft head.
- The interior features beautiful teak joinery and cabinetry throughout as well as teak and holly sole. Some areas may require refinishing of the woodwork but all is solid and only needs cosmetic updating. Numerous hatches and prisms add plenty of light and venitlation as does her updated white headliner. She has 6'4" headroom.

The rugged keel centerboard system houses the board entirely in the lead casting. The board is currently secured in the up position so her keel draws 4'10". The rudder structure was designed to stand by itself, without the skeg in the event the skeg is broken away. The shroud chainplates and bolt pattern spread the load over the chainplate bulkhead, which in turn spreads loads well out aft along the hull skin through two widely spaced bulkheads.Indigo was originally a fresh water boat for much of her life in Wisconsin

47' kaufman/kha shing cutter cutter.

Major Price Reduction. Asking $39,900. Owner says "This Boat Must Go". Call and make your best deal now.
The Kaufman 47 was designed as a fast cruiser on the design board of F. Michael Kaufman Associates in Annapolis. Together with Robert Ladd, the Kaufman/Ladd team designed a number of highly regarded boats; Skye 51, Skye 54, Finya 53 and the CT47/49. Most of these elegant cruisers were built in the eighties in Taiwan and many at the venerable yard of Kha Shing.
There are a number of these yachts currently cruising the seven seas, as they were some of the fastest, most comfortable and elegant yachts of their day.
Begorrah is in overall good condition and has a number of updates and upgrades. She is a cutter rig with good sails, and low hour 2006 Westerbeke diesel engine. With her under five foot shoal draft, diesel generator, air conditioning, and microwave, she makes cruising and living aboard a breeze. Her 2004 updated electronics and good canvas complete the a package.
Begorrah has a teak deck which is reported to be original. Her seven old world style deck prisms have recently been rebedded. This yacht with a new teak deck would be asking $80,000 or more. However, the owner has decided to offer her at her current asking price representing a $30,000 credit that would allow a new owner to sail her for a few years, then have the option of replacing with a new teak, or to remove and refinish with a non-skid fiberglass deck surface.
You will be hard pressed to find any other 47 foot performance cruiser offering this level of build quality with Begorrah's amenities at this price.
Call now to arrange your private appointment to see and inspect her in Florida.

Begorrah has been owned by her current owner since 1992. With 2004 electrical gear upgrades and a 2006 new engine installation there is much that is current and updated on her. Her sails are in very good conditon and her rig is believed to be sound.
Her interior woodwork and design has detail that you just won't find on the production boats of today. Attention to detail and craftsmanship are self evident when you come aboard.
Her 7 deck prisms which create a soft light and bright and cheery interior have leaked water in the interior over the past year. These prisms have recently been rebedded, but there is some work needed with interior woodwork to restore her to her original condition. Feel free to call to discuss in detail some of the areas that will require attention.

Bluewater Sailboat – Kaufman 47
The Bluewater Sailboat Kaufman 49 cutter rig is a well-built monohull with elegant lines reminiscent of a Swan.
It has all of the qualities you’d expect from a high-quality, high-performance monohull. It is provided with all of the amenities of a luxury monohull. The Kaufman is an easy pick with its traditional architecture and plenty of conveniences. A Kaufman sailboat is a wonderful choice whether you’re planning a long-term journey or just want to spend a couple of days in the bay.
Mike Kaufman’s hull design is a hybrid of a Beneteau 456 and a Hylas 49.
A Kaufman Bluewater sailboat is an excellent purchase for a sailing lover. The 47′ hull is frequently the ideal size for a family. It has a pronounced fin keel. The rigging and stern rail are both in excellent shape. The keel is strong, and the cabin is roomy. It boasts a lot of storage, a large l-shaped couch, and a roomy rigging system. The Kaufman’s interior features plenty of storage and a comfy Viking-style arrangement.
Performance
The Kaufman 47 is a high-performance bluewater cruiser. She is a real thoroughbred, designed by Kaufman and Ladd and built by Kha Shing. Her moderate underbody is highlighted by a lengthy keel section and a full skeg hanging rudder. She has three spacious private staterooms, two heads (one with a separate shower), a U-shaped Sailboats Galley , and a spacious salon. The teak inside is exquisitely polished.
It is apparently comfortable and speedy for their day and is similarly built to Swan 47. One of the most typical performance cruisers of the day. It’s an excellent go-anywhere offshore cruising boat. On average 150 miles a day through it all are covered.
The low-slung, strong appearance of Kaufman and Ladd designs is often admired. Other examples are the Skye 51 and the Albin Nimbus. The Kaufman 47 is finely balanced, making it easy to sail on autopilot, and it also sails well with just a headsail, giving it an easy way to cross oceans. The hull has taken a beating, including a punch on the chin from a ferocious Italian tornado.
Quick Notes
The Kaufman 49 is the same boat as the Kaufman 48, but with a reverse transom. And there’s no disputing that the S&S Swan 47 influenced the Kaufman 47. They’re difficult to tell apart when they’re side by side. The cockpit, for example, is significantly more comfortable in the Kaufman.

Kaufman 47 is a 47 ′ 0 ″ / 14.3 m monohull sailboat designed by F. Michael Kaufman and built by Kha Shing Enterprise Co. Ltd. between 1986 and 1988.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Keel/CB optional. BU=4.83’
