Nordhavn

Full-Time Cruising on a Nordhavn 40

Who among us hasn’t daydreamed about the ultimate cruise? The one where you sell the house, put your furniture in storage, move aboard your boat, and cruise the world.

Big Nordy

You may have heard rumors of a new, much larger Nordhavn in the works. Well, the rumors are fact—the next new Nordhavn will be a 120, and construction is already well underway in China, with an expected launch date of mid-2012. Here are some construction photos just released by Nordhavn. Below you see an interior shot (looks like maybe one of the main staterooms) with some cabinetry and lacquer work already finished.

Norway

To begin preparing for a trip to Norway, I checked the weather (cool and rainy) and the charts (much farther north than I’d thought). But the most interesting part of my pretrip research was discovering that all the Scandinavian pop-culture references I could think of were Swedish.

Nordhavn 86If you’re considering a ‘round-the-world cruise, Nordhavn’s new 87’1/4-foot trawler might be just the ticket. The builder says that she should have a 4,000-NM range at 10.5 knots with the help of twin MTU Series 60 diesel inboards. A pair of 48-inch wheels attached to four-inch shafts shouldn’t hurt efficiency either.

The Return of the Motorsailer?

For a long time there has been a stigma attached to motorsailers: They’re neither good motoryachts nor good sailboats. But in a world where “going green” has become a chief concern and “the rising price of fuel” has become a clich, many manufacturers of both boats and engines are looking toward hybrid machines. And although most motoryacht builders are still staying clear of sail power in favor
