Raindance II is currently situated in one of the world's premier cruising grounds, Fiji. She exhibits exceptional motion at sea, consistently reaching speeds of 6-8 knots whenever the sails are hoisted in reasonable wind conditions. She’s ready to keep sailing wherever you want to go.

If you don’t already know, this boat was designed by Robert Perry, one of the best offshore cruising yacht designers of this era. Perry dubbed the Norseman 447 his “masterpiece” and this boat lives up to that claim.

She’s a cutter rigged, performance cruiser with a 2 cabin, 2 head layout. The interior on this boat is stunning with solid panelled teak and white accents everywhere. The aft master cabin has a TRUE king size bed which I’ve yet to find on any other boat in this size range. It also has its own en-suite head with a large separate shower stall.

She has a large U shaped galley equipped with a 2 burner stove, refrigerator, freezer, double sink, and all the storage you’ll need just an arm reach away. It’s an epic galley! The salon is as beautiful as the rest of the boat with a large settee to port and one to starboard. The forward cabin is a large double berth guest cabin with its own en-suite head.

The large engine room is accessed from the passageway to the aft cabin, as well as from the separate shower in the aft cabin.
