The N41 is a beautiful boat. That said, does the N41 have "Position Hold" as a feature? That is a significantly helpful feature on the ICW and in the Canal System on the northern part of the Great Loop when waiting for bridge openings, waiting for locks to clear before entering, and maneuvering inside locks which can be complicated when occupied by numerous boats. Of course, "Position Hold" requires the addition of a stern thruster. At this price point and to truly obtain the status of an excellent boat, "Position Hold" and duel bow and stern thrusters should be standard features. These features equate to improved safety to the boat and its occupants and superior handling capability in confined and/or challenging areas on the water - including marinas. I simply offer these feature upgrade suggestions to a beautiful boat that can be elevated even higher in its performance capabilities. I also feel that a stern helm station in the cockpit would be an extremely helpful feature to assist in docking at a marina or hugging a lock on the port side. The pilot station only has a starboard exit door. That makes it nearly impossible for the person at the helm to assist with the ropes. On a calm day or inside a quiet lock, that is not a concern. However, on a windy day or within a lock with several other boats, the water is turbulent and boat movement is both excessive and unpredictable. A helm station on the port side in the cockpit would negate these concerns allowing both people on board, or a single handed boat, to be successful time and again.
Specs before drawers. Any most I look at I want to know engine hp. GPH at Cruze , cruise speed and top speed. GPM, or MPG. Fuel capacity and range. Priority 1 After that we can talk electronics floor plans ceiling heights etc.dishes and pillows. C’mon man Specs! Specs specs! Thank you :-)
thanks for posting, we used to spend lots of time anchored at Cat Harbor 1959-1967 on my grampas 42' Chris Craft.. Sea Cloud.....water sure looks cleaner than back then
My God, I have a Defever 49 as well, but I can't hear my engines at all. This boat needs some serious sound proofing. But I can agree, a Defever has perfect handling at sea. I guess this was a high speed test, I normally cruise at 6 kts and she is very happy with that.
On a boat of this size I feel trapped if I don't have pilot doors both sides of the boat. If this boat is spinning a starboard prop the helm station is on the wrong side of the boat ....
Its a great boat.. I wish the guest and the owners cabin would have been placed far away like a Hardy Aft cabin or Dale Aft Cabin.. Indeed a great boat.. on length like this love to see Nordhavn make a aft deck boat..
I really, really like this boat but 2 questions: at 10:23 that background noise, is that the AC? Finding it pretty loud. Also, the Venetian blinds, they don't appear to be contained inside of any baffle or track to prevent them banging back and forth against the windows when underway with any kind of a sea running, is that correct? Am also thinking that wooden slats on the blinds matching the interior would be nicer and less obtrusive than what you have now. But these are small points -for a 41' vessel she is spectacular, I'd blue-water in her without hesitation.
Very timely video. I'm comparing this layout to an N40. I personally like the layout of the 41 better. And definitely appreciate the hydraulic v paravane stabilization. It will be interesting to see how the more experienced Nordhavn community responds to this layout v a more traditional N40 or 43 layout. Again, TY for the timely video.
