www.yoti.com.au...
From her teak decks to her unique Corinthian Blue hull, Galileo oozes style, comfort and the ability to stand out from the crowd all while offering seriously impressive performance. Being a First of this generation she is a sleek and sophisticated racer with all the comforts of a cruiser.
New Dyform rigging was installed just last year in 2017 along with a new racing Furlex furler. The Carbon racing main was also added new in 2017 and her wardrobe by Ian Short is comprehensive.
Galileo currently successfully races out of Pittwater to Cat 2 level, she is serviced regularly and professionally. Instrumentation including auto-pilot are by Raymarine. Accommodation offers that familiar welcoming quality that we have come to expect from this generation of Firsts. It consists of three big double cabins with the master cabin forward with private ensuite, a second head, big practical ‘L’ shaped galley, importantly a dedicated nav station and loads of storage.

Beautiful sailboat
I don't know if anyone reads these messages... I'm trying to find someone whose had experience on a First 44.7 and other boats of that size. I'm looking for a 40+ foot cruiser with blue water capability. I value being able to get to where you want to go as much as being comfortable. The First 44.7 seems to be a good choice, but I'd like to know if the First 44.7 actually performs better than say a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45 to justify getting one over a more traditional cruiser. If I can make 2 more knots and point 5 more degrees into the wind, that would be worth it... Anyone here?
Hello Jason... Happy to talk through the virtues of the virtues of the 44.7 over other options if you wish. We currently have a 44.7 for sale - in CAT if you are keen to take a look over.
You can contact me on 0437 397 298

@@yotisailing Hi, Thanks for replying. I'm in the US and can't just stop in. I'm really wondering if the sailing characteristics of the 44.7 is worth the tradeoffs of a less than ideal cockpit layout and the having to deal with an extra 3 feet of draft. I have no interest in racing, but the ability to point farther into the wind, especially at wind speeds above 20 knots, is a huge value for me. And I'd sure love an extra knot or two out of the boat... at least compared to a more traditional cruiser in that same size range. I can't afford to buy two boats and find out... Do you have any answers to these questions or could you put me in touch with someone with such experience? Thanks again. Jason
@@jasonmcintosh2632 Hi Jason... its a fairly simple equation, the 44.7 is an awsome racer / cruiser. It has a brilliant internal layout for cruising but the hull design makes it a fast offshore boat that will take you anywhere. If you can compromise on the cockpit the the 44.7 will give you exactly what you are looking for.
@@yotisailing Thanks. I'll be keeping an eye out for one at a good price. Jason
