Beautiful boat. For the price, though...I think I'd probably look for a Bearing 65...there's something about a steel hull and commercial build specs that are appealing.
Understand your steel comment. In the meantime, Bering is still a relatively young company having only 4 announced deliveries scheduled in 2022. In my view that's not enough to prove their workmanship. On the other hand, Nordhavn has announced 850 hulls delivered, with 200 logged Pacific and Atlantic crossings. I would probably put money on Nordhavn instead. Fleming also has long history. The ship quality has a lot to do with the shipyard crew experience. I think Nordhavn only recently after pandemic have Turkish yard to built their smalless 41 footers while their Xiamen South Coast Shipyard and Taiwan yard both with decades of fine yacht building experiences are still building all the larger ones. Nordhavn accumulated their boating building experience across decades of business starting from boats around 40'. That's a much better way to establish proper yard crews.
For me it's the practical path. Far more nordhavn than bering on the used market I look at these now thinking about 20 years from now when I hope to get one
@@tmroan6119 Before I would even consider Nordhavn, I would want to partner with an owner who is taking a delivery and have a certified naval surveyor look it over with a fine tooth comb. What was discovered on their N120 Aurora was a disgrace.
Nordhavn Facts is worth watching. It puts another perspective on the Brand and the management of the company. A used yacht where any problems have been sorted is obviously the way to go
Absolutely stunning yachts. Yes I done 20years with the RNLI as crew and loved the good and the bad times and so wish I had joined the RN but my dad insisted I done my apprenticeship first. Still love the sea and always find myself near it on my travels 🤣
Great name! This company really blows my mind because they build some of the most capable explorers out of Fiberglass. Also I did not expect them being built out of Asia, giving the European builders a run for their money.
Love Nordhavns absolutely the beast of the oceans. Thanks for the great video. Ps. The engine room of a nordhavn needs a dedicated crash course sessions to understands the different systems in the engine room and fuel transfer mechanisms. Thanks again and keep them coming please. stay safe
the rougher the weather the better, there was always spare rum when 'tot's up', (always sorted the 'nozzers' from the 'badgemen' ) I worked in the galley on a type 22 A/D frigate on my last draft, the southern ocean is a pig

Love Nordhavn. I would want something like the 120 because I got my kids and my kids and I want to have fun. But if I was totally going to just cruise, maybe fish a lot and was going to cold water like the North Atlantic and Antarctica, this would be my choice. I would need 3 staterooms and space for 2-3 crew. This and a Fleming, or a Hinkley. 72-85 for range.
She has the same layout flaw the vast majority of Nordhavn's have, only a starboard side deck. If she had full side decks both sides of the superstructure then I would consider her.
@@ianwilde5379 I have breathing problems so the extra distance of moving around without matching side decks is my issue. Sitting there at anchor and some twit roaring up to the port side where you have no access to try to get a fender between because there is no side deck.
