The VR 47 is a boat for connoisseurs, with a limited number of units produced and rare models available on the market!
This yacht boasts an extremely simple rig, designed to ensure high speeds and maximum maneuverability with a reduced crew, without compromising comfort while sailing.
Built in 1999, this vessel offers excellent performance both under sail and motor, ease of maneuvering, and great stability.
With only 2 owners since her launching in 2000, Taonana has always been used privately, never for charters or regattas.
In 2014/2015 her second owner completely refitted and upgraded her with a view to creating an ultra-light, ultra-fast short-handed cruising yacht. Thanks to her carbon/Kevlar composite construction coupled with her powerful, yet easily managed fully-battened rig, TAONANA now offers blistering performance on all points of sail.
