Ultima was designed by Angelo Lavranos who began his career as a naval architect working for Angus Primrose in the United Kingdom and then Sparkman & Stephens in New York, before setting up his own business design office in Cape Town, South Africa in 1975. Lavranos is at least in part responsible for world-class designs of the S&S Swan 40 and 48. Shortly before we bought the boat I wrote to Mr. Lavranos who graciously replied “The Compass 47, was built mostly by Compass Marine in the late ’70s & early ’80s in Cape Town under my supervision. These were a first-class product.”

The most traveled and popular large cruiser from South Africa, Compass 47 has an interesting history. Many of the 50 produced were bought and sailed to Europe or the Americas to be sold as a way to get money out of apartheid South Africa. Virtually every Compass 47 built has crossed at least one Ocean, and most of them two or more and at least three have circumnavigated. The boat was the class winner in the ’82 South Atlantic Race and ’85 Beachcomber Race showcasing her speed and stability.

This is indeed South Africa’s most classic and pedigreed big boat. We found Ultima after a three-year long boat search done while working on other people’s boats. When John proposed to us that we start doing some training passages we knew we needed a thoroughbred bluewater cruiser that could sleep at least 6 and found her on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In similar circumstances to John’s description of finding Quetzal in Sailing a Serious Ocean, his sister, Liz and brother-in-law Trevor had a look at her before we could get there and gave us a helpful assessment. We made the trip up to see her as soon as we could and once we set eyes on her we knew that she would be the perfect boat for us. After several hours going over her and some careful negotiation, we bought her for a steal.

Upon purchase, we knew very little of Ultima’s recent history. She was obviously sailed to the US in the ’80s. We knew from the yard where we found Ultima, she had been sitting on the hard virtually untouched for the last 3 years. The last major work done on her had been the brand new 54 horsepower Yanmar Engine install done in 2015 by the yard. After a brief sea trial with the new engine, she was hauled and there she sat until we found her. The previous owner must have had big cruising dreams to install such a nice engine, but they never materialized. According to the listing, Ultima had undergone an extensive refit in 2010 with the entire electrical system being rewired, heads rebuilt and plumbed, and new bottom paint. It also stated that in 1995 she was stripped to structural glass dried, hand-laid with 3 layers of cloth and polyester resin the barrier coated before receiving 5 coats of bottom paint.

During our time in the yard at Spring Cove Marina, we changed out the plastic thru-hulls for bronze, replaced steering cables, life-lines, standing and running rigging. The rest of the summer was spent painting the decks and bottom, varnishing teak inside and out, replacing headliners and floorboards, fitting new electronics and getting her ready to once again do what she was built for, head offshore and cross oceans.

Ultima, a 1981 Compass 47, was built in Cape Town, South Africa by Compass/Anchor Marine. Ultima is constructed of solid fibreglass with longitudinal stringers and a keel-stepped mast. She features moderate displacement with a long fin keel and rudder on skeg. Dual companionways allow for easy access to a large, protected cockpit and midship deck.

Her bright interior layout is a 3 cabin and 2 head configuration that is comfortable and roomy with long portlights and several hatches that line the cabin top. The Main Salon has a centerline drop-leaf table and straight settee to starboard and U shaped settee to port. There are pilot berths outboard and storage under. The L shaped galley is to port with a walk-thru to the aft cabin to port and head to starboard. Across from the galley is the Nav. station with a third, single berth stateroom next aft on the starboard side. V berth is forward with hanging lockers to starboard and enclosed head next aft to port.

2019: We had Spring Cove Marina build a bulkhead at first fitted by PVC tubes and then a custom made stainless steel support arch. We replaced all of the warped plywood coated in vinyl with white PVC sheets custom cut. They are lighter, flexible and if they wet, they won’t warp.

Review of Compass 47

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. Some boats has a hull made of Wood.

The boat equipped with a masthead rig. The advantage of a masthead rig is its simplicity and the fact that a given sail area - compared with a fractional rig - can be carried lower and thus with less heeling moment.

The Compass 47 is equipped with a fin keel. The fin keel is the most common keel and provides splendid manoeuvrability. The downside is that it has less directional stability than a long keel.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.91 - 2.01 meter (6.27 - 6.57 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

The boat is typically equipped with an inboard Perkins 4.108 diesel engine at 50 hp (37 kW). Calculated max speed is about 6.1 knots

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

What is Capsize Screening Formula (CSF)?

The capsize screening value for Compass 47 is 1.79, indicating that this boat could - if evaluated by this formula alone - be accepted to participate in ocean races.

What is Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed?

The theoretical maximal speed of a displacement boat of this length is 8.2 knots. The term "Theoretical Maximum Hull Speed" is widely used even though a boat can sail faster. The term shall be interpreted as above the theoretical speed a great additional power is necessary for a small gain in speed.

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Compass 47 is about 310 kg/cm, alternatively 1739 lbs/inch. Meaning: if you load 310 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 1739 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

Sailing statistics

This section is statistical comparison with similar boats of the same category. The basis of the following statistical computations is our unique database with more than 26,000 different boat types and 350,000 data points.

What is Motion Comfort Ratio (MCR)?

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

What is a Ballast Ratio?

What is Displacement Length Ratio?

What is SA/D (Sail Area Displacement ratio)?

Maintenance

When buying anti-fouling bottom paint, it's nice to know how much to buy. The surface of the wet bottom is about 51m 2 (548 ft 2 ). Based on this, your favourite maritime shop can tell you the quantity you need.

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)

The COMPASS 47 is a popular cruiser from South Africa. Of the 50 that have been built, 7 are cold-molded PLY and the remainder in solid FG. Variations include center and aft cockpits, sloop and ketch rigs.
