Everything about nordhavn is awesome. Even their RU-vid channel. Most companies youtube channel sucks and is a bunch of ads. Nordhavn makes actual good videos of what nordhavns are built for
at last! A boat builder who actually understands what people want to see on RU-vid - rather than 99.99% of other boat builders who think that prospective buyers just want to see boats skimming around on the water! More videos like this please Nordhavn
They have tons of videos on their website, Nordhavn.com. Just go to the "Interactive" tab at the top of the page, then click on videos. Nordhavn has been accused of being "too good" at marketing, lol. The truth is, the owners of these incredible boats are, without question, their marketing department. Close to 600 builds, and somewhere in the range of 6,000,000 miles traveled. There is a Nordhavn 46 (Kanaloa) on her 4th circumnavigation. If you want more, look into Nordhavn Dreamers...
I don't care if this boat builder is in North Korea, of course I know they are made in China, they do it right every time. Nordhavn understands blue water boats more than almost any manufacturer. Hello SeaRay and so many others, if you build a boat of this size you should have an OVEN, and a decent amount of refrigeration and freezer capacity. This is why Nordhavn makes so many boat makers look like harbor queens.
I've seen the 59CP at Bremerton Trawlerfest. Spoke to Eric Leishman at lengh about it. Fantastic boat for our needs. The layout below deck is perfect. Great work, Nordhavn team.
Great video. The perfect balance of relevant dialogue and good information. I was a skeptic of the CP before, but you have clearly demonstrated it is no slouch and a very capable boat. Thank you kindly Mr. Leishman. I am now a fan.
Great video-I can't wait to show my wife! She's a big Nordhavn fan and you stopped at two of our favorite places- Fort Bragg and Cambria/San Simeon!! I could see the Harbor Lights Hotel where we stay in Fort Bragg and Piedras Blancas where we visit the Elephant Seal colony!
I'm in Love. This would be perfect for Alaska where you do a Charter going either fishing, sight seeing and a one week or longer depending on time available for the customer. Also could run up the coast or back down for making other connections.
As a matter of fact, Fort Bragg WAS one of the filming locations for 'Overboard.' Other locations were Marina Del Rey; San Pedro Bay; and Newport, Oregon.
Hi Ed: The 59 can do the Great Loop if a hinge is installed on the radar arch bringing it under the 19'1' needed to clear a bridge leaving Chicago. The draft is around 4.75 feet on the 59, recommendations for the Great Loop vary from 5 to 6 feet max draft. The length is not a problem, it has been done in 70 footers. Check out various websites that have further details.
Love this boat but not sure what the point of the rear deck area is, Seems a waste of space. If you put a tender garage there instead with sunpads on top it would change the whole feel of the boat. You wouldn't need the crane and you could then fit out the upper deck as an amazing outdoor entertaining area. Which is the only thing that Nordhavns lack.
If this helm station is indeed enough for a CE category A boat, why then you waste so much space on other smaller and bigger Nordhavns for pilot-house?
Sounds like the only thing this boat can't do is make the jump from California to Hawaii. If I understand correctly, you'd probably want a full displacement hull in very rough water, but as long as you stay within 1000 miles of your next full tank of fuel, and make judicious use of radar and weather tracking to avoid the worst of it, you can go pretty much any place with this boat.
Even with the biggest fuel bladders, Los Angeles/San Diego to Hawai'i seems a stretch. Of course, it's possible if you keep it under about 6 knots, but then, why not just get a sailboat? Oops, come to think of it, Nordhavn does make a semi-automated motorsailer, but personally, I'm just too old for frikking sails and lines or else being heeled over all the bloody day and night. Oh, well.
Does this company have an aversion to colour? As Henry Ford said; 'You can have any colour so long as it's black. In Nordhavn case it's white, why? For the money these boats are i would suggest the customer should be able to specify the hull colour, no? For me, i'd love a cobalt blue. While i'm 'critiqueing', the style of interior is that of a 1930's racing yacht - ALL of it. Nice if you like looking at the same thing. Any chance of getting a younger interior designer in. Same with the flybridge. A 64N i looked at was all white with, wait for it, lime green skipper seats. I think Nordhavn are really restricting their market with this dated design. Funnily enough, all those that have these boats always promote the slow cruising speeds and travel range first. Sorry Mr Leishman I shall not buy one 'till you change. For me, the boat looks as if it has been designed for the navy, coastal patrol operations or similar.
Darkly painted hulls produce heated interiors, oftentimes to the point the AC runs overtime (wasting gallons and gallons of fuel and the noise irritating the guests as well as other boats at anchor nearby) and still not overcome the heat load. The seat cover colors are bespoke to the customer. The interior wood cladding ditto. If you don't like it, you can buy a Cheoy at twice the price and pay about $14,000+ (no joke) for a hull repaint. As for it's designed use, Nordhavn makes no claim as to it being a Bering Sea challenger or a San Diego to Hawai'i commuter. It's right there in the name= "CP", eg, COASTAL pilot.. In my case, I could definitely use this boat as a regular fast commuter from Marina del Rey to Santa Catalina or Ensenada or even up to Monterey. As for your critique of "slow cruising speeds", that is in fact the point of Nordhavn boats in general. I have in excess of 200K miles at sea and I am here to tell you that pounding along at 20 knots upsets your stomach, dislocates your liver as well as your peace of mind and causes your liquor to slop out of the glass. A serene eight knots with active stabilizers will get you there with everything intact, not to mention fewer broken parts, and a heck of a lot less strain on your wallet. Happy sails to you.
@@fazzaz31 Your reply sir, is the biggest load of flimflam i have ever read - with respect. 1, Do you know the basic physics of heat transfer? I do, i am an engineer. There's 3 for you to look for. 2, If i am buying a motor cruiser over £3million, the cost of a respray, interior design etc., is neither here or there. 3, What's the point of motoring at slow speeds unless you love bobbing along like a wine cork endlessly looking a nothing but water? 4, 'Pounding along at 20kns upsets your stomach, dislocates your liver' blah, blah, blah. So does doing 8kns in a force 6+ Why do the more sensible length boats, 30mts and longer all aim for between 12-15kns cruising speed? Marathon runners run faster than a Nordhavn. 5, Re; Trim tabs; You really must go out in a force 6+ and see how ineffective the SLOW operating units they are - hyraulic or electrical. Good try Fassy baby, best i can give you is c+, more work needed here..
