Jim, I wanted to thank you for making this video. I love how you opened all the drawers and showed all the details rather than focusing on making the video artistic. Also, thanks to all you guys for making this boat. I’m still waiting to see how much I’m going to make off one big investment. If it sells for less than what I’m hoping, this might be the only Nordhavn I’ll be able to afford. Thanks for making it a boat that I’d be proud to own-something that wouldn’t make me feel like I settled. It really is beautiful!
So beautifully thought out and designed in every aspect. It is clear everyone who built and designed her is a master of their craft. She is gorgeous. I want one.
This interior is beautiful. The wood looks stunning and will deffinately stand the test of time. And the doors do indeed sound very good and everything seems high quality.
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.
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 ....
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.
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..
My hope is to someday have a blue water boat and the Nordhavn has been at the top of my list now for a couple years. I always come back to it when comparing. I still like/prefer a cockpit version trawler but this is beautiful. A brand new boat, for me, seems too expensive. I can buy more boat if I get pre-owned BUT, new is fantastic. This boat looks like a wonderful coastal cruiser and ICW boat with “legs”. Wow! Just now seeing the commissary! HOW MUCH. Hahaha....Here’s the question though, why this over the standard trawler designs? Is it about preference?
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.
I've been waiting for this video from the beginning and I am not disappointed. Just perfect, I love it, it is my dream, It's my dream, you just have to get the money. Is it very difficult to get the permits to drive it? to make great trips?
I can only speak for Germany, but I would assume it’s not that different in other countries. It would take me about 3 full days plus some additional studying to get the license, so not that hard/time consuming
What's the point of shipping this beautiful capable boat to the east coast (of the US I assume), when you are in one of the most beautiful and interesting cruising areas of the world ? .... like shipping your Overlander RV from Patagonia to California..... My wife and I are looking into a 50... but maybe this would suite us better ?? Great video .. thanks Jim
We have a number of clients taking delivery at the yard, your correct some truly world class cruising in the eastern Med! If you would like more details feel free to contact us Eric.leishman@nordhavn.com
For a buyer, they would be chosing their own wood and interior design if they weren't a fan. Nordhavns are known for never having one identical boat. For a 41 footer, a pilothouse would take up too much space. This seems to be a great layout for the size they were given
I also think the interior wood and materials are far more "timeless" and classy than a sunseeker would be. But I totally get your point. Looks like a modern boat.
@@blewyd I don’t think it’s that bad, to be honest. The saloon on the 40 is full width with not walkways either way, so I personally would actually prefer the layout of a 40, even with having no walkways and more height.
Nice yacht but for an American company why did you choose to produce this yacht in Turkey and not in America to support the local economy? I’m curious to know because I understand the stigma of a Turkish made boats are mostly low quality.
actually very high quality. American labor costs is too high to construct large boats at a reasonable price. Hatteras does it bit they are extremely high cost. This boat is at a very reasonable price.
its shocking to me how much is lost in terms of space and comfort from the original n40 to the n41. This boat, aside from the great loop, leaves a person with no real purpose to purchase in comparison to the older model.
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 :-)
The Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 has 3 staterooms but has no comparison to this Nordhavn 41 which is 100 times better looking inside. Looks like a studio apartment, everything you need is right there.
I like old school style I love nordhavn but not a fan of this boat. Too simplistic in layout and everything in a single space feels claustrophobic for me. As you cannot move and feel like you have different spaces. I get the reasoning for this design but I feel it’s just photocopying the industry instead of unique designing of interiors.
So what makes this an American company? Just management in the US? So this amazing boat is Turkish, not American. Nordhavn should change that. Unless still in cahoots with the Chinese.
And Apple, who makes iPhones in China is a Chineese company? What you said doesn't make sense. Apple is an American company, who designs and drives their business from America, but contracts many different manufacturers in China and countries around the world to build their products. Some products are actually built in the US. It's the same for a boat builder. Their business HQ is in the US, but they contract construction with various builders at sites around the globe, in Taiwan and Turkey for example. Why is that not an American company? They are not hiding where the boats are actually built. In fact, they are proud of their partnerships with the boatyards they contract.
Quite a disappointment. So small and lightweight I almost thought Nordhavn put a torqeedo engine in it and made it totally electric. This is a huge step down on previous Nordhavns. You could not live aboard this boat. Looks like a Princess weekender in layout and no proper bridge. I would not want to be in this boat in harsh Atlantic conditions. Probably why Nordhavn shipped it instead of ferrying. Well the aftermarket N41 will increase in price. Maybe this design is a one off.
