I had my Vagabond 47 for over ten years and my family did a two-year voyage together from the Sea of Cortez, down Central America, through the Panama Canal and around the Caribbean.....then back again. She was a fantastic boat with loads of storage and easy to sail. We also had four adults and four children aboard, yet it didn’t feel cramped! I’d buy another Vagabond in a heartbeat!!

Thanks for sharing your story! That sounds like an awesome trip, definitely great to hear other people's experiences with vagabonds 😁

Beautiful boat! Your cockpit enclosure is EPIC!
I'm seriously looking for a Vagabond, 47'-51'
'Belaying pins' are also known as Marlin spikes.

It sure would have been nice to have the covered cockpit! We had a very nice dodger system, but one in a while it became a waterfall down our back!

When we found our Vagabond with the hard top cockpit, we were so thrilled! It is very comfy in all seasons!

I just subscribed. I'm hoping my wife and I will be doing something like this in the next couple years. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do with her.

Thanks for subscribing! It's been quite the adventure so far. We love working on her, so we wouldn't have it any other way!

Thinking about buying one of these to refurbish- ours is damaged by a starboard list into water in a storm- will have to replace all electrical, refurb engine, and replace head etc. Do you think its worth the invest?

[@LifeintheWind]

That all depends on what you're buying price is, sounds like a salvage price, in which case it might be worth it. Of course, it also depends (in my opinion) on how much of the work you are willing/able to do yourself, otherwise it won't make much sense financially I think.
