I LOVE boats that look like boats inside rather than a luxury hotel, those are nice too but THIS IS A BOAT! lovely.

[@v12vanquish]

yah looking at a lot of boats that are expensive you see tons of glass. The interior starts to look like a museum instead of a transatlantic boat

[@Ob1sdarkside]

Came for the classic nordhavn, wasn't disappointed.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

We aim to please! :D

Classic Nordhavn count : 3

[@The_Real_Zaineman]

@@AQUAHOLIC Nick, Silly question, Besides from being stupid, could you run both engines at the same time ? Would this increase speed ? what would happen ?....I looked at the Nordhavn 52 and it looks like the "wing engine" propeller's thrust would just get caught in the thrust of the main propeller and provide no additional energy or thrust. (This is based on my many years of study in fluid dynamics) your thoughts ? .... Z

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@The_Real_Zaineman Once a displacement boat hit its maximum hull speed (which it will with the main engine) the small engine wouldn't add any more.

[@EverydayProjects]

@@AQUAHOLIC For anyone else who may be wondering how to calculate the maximun speed in knots for a displacement hull, here it is: One and one half times the square root of the waterline length in feet. Example: What is maximun speed in knots of a 49' displacement hull? Square root of 49 = 7 7 x 1.5 = 10.5 Kts Fantastic tour as always, Nick!

New drinking game. Whenever you hear the phrases "Little Ship" or "Classic Nordhavn" take a shot! Another superb video.

[@TheByard]

My old boat had several drinking games but one stood out. She is a Dunkirk Little Ship. I'll drink to that and to the Dunkirk Spirit. PS Someone did give out some Dunkirk Spirit plaque's that had a miniature attached. Very handy in an emergency!!!!!!!

I love the ultra rugged style. Totally at home in a vicious North Sea storm. Boats like this speak deeply to our masculine love of adventure. They aren't designed to drop panties in a warm harbour, but to test your limits of endurance. A man's boat.

I know squat about boats but I love these videos. This boat lacks the dedicated party spaces of larger boats but with some well placed deck chairs one could certainly get by. I would feel secure in a little ship like this one.

[@marks9772]

I like this for the fact the burner and oven are gimbaled. If you are actually going to be at sea, and not anchored up or a marina queen, then having this on a gimbal is very practical.

Within the first few minutes of watching this I thot this is a small ship and indeed u mentioned it later in the video. I love this nord built. I think I would feel really safe on it. For a 43' capable of 3000 miles range is indeed awesome. Nice wholesome interior. Well done Nick. :)

Rust is normal for an engine room that's from 2011. Ask any marine surveyor and they would say the same thing. It's just surface rust that is cosmetic. People buying a Nordhavn knows that this isn't a deal breaker.

Very nice! Only ‘missing’ feature is somewhere to relax outside while the boat is underway. I don’t imagine those wooden folding seats are comfortable for very long.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you're enjoying it! :)

[@grahamholland7323]

I'm late to the party for this video Nick, but that is a PROPER little Nordhavn. Am I wrong for loving a fast sports cruiser but also harboring a love to pootle at 7 knots going for days and days discovering new things all the time? Great vid Nick.

[@darthkek1953]

Some boats are harbour queens, others are mistresses of the sea.

[@8Ryanaugust]

This is my dream boat. You’ll never find another 43ft that feels so much like a home away from home while also having amazing utility and capability.

[@saosaqii5807]

It seems like yachts get exponentially more expensive just by adding a few feet in length so if you want a decent sized yacht for a relatively “cheap” price buy 43 foot or buy second hands in decent shape

[@godspeedjourneys2661]

I love the size of the galley and cabins for a 43, however, I'm more of a Princess Yacht guy. All the wood reminds me too much of visiting a grandparent's cabin. Nonetheless, nice video and great to be able to see different boats. Keep it up!

[@blewyd]

This wood will look good forever and last forever while the princess, while modern right now, might look weird in 10-15 years. Thats why Nordhavns hold their value so well on top of their superior build quality.

[@darthkek1953]

You have to think of the wood-look as "nautical". I love it personally.

[@didgerb72]

I love the term "Proper little ship feel". When your standing a 4 or 6 hour watch at the helm, or lookout on the Bridge wings. You spend a lot of time up in or around the Wheel, or Pilot House/Bridge. When I think of a ships - Bridge. I'm standing watch, on a truly sturdy Ocean going vessel. I picture Superyaghts with the latter two helm areas. Except when they have a Helm area that wouldn't look out of place on a Cargo or Cruise ship. Or a Tramp Steamer. Superyaghts are the rich distant cousins of the tramp Steamer. Cruise ships have ports and set scheduled routes, like a Cargo ship. However a Tramp steamer plods here or there picking up trade, in any port with no plan. Just like most Superyaght owners, can just wake up in a beautiful bay. Lift the anchor, and request the Captain to get underway for another beautiful bay. They might have a tiny schedule, but not set in stone. Why I love the Superyachts, and Trawler yachts (like Nordhavn), which have that "Proper little ships feel". As they are vessels, built with the comforts of home, and practicalities of a true 'go anywhere - blue ocean cruiser'. Rather than the opulence and status symbols, of the shorter range super yachts, and super yacht fast cruisers. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a beautiful tri deck Super yacht. Filled with style and grace. I think a beautifu Trawlet yacht esp Nordhavn 120 has the perfect best of both worlds about her. I cannot wait for the 148ft to be launched. Huge lottery Euro millions jackpot. I'd buy Aurora Nordhavn 120. Shes my fav.

[@Rayraywheelz]

Nordhavn always seems to be more innovative with the space on their smaller boats, this one is a great example

What a fantastic little craft this is. It’s amazing what they can cram in, yet it still doesn’t seem cramped. It’s a bit slow, but 3,000 miles range is phenomenal

Lovely "little ship", with great range. Perfect for getting away from it all for - I imagine - quite long periods. I tend to be drawn to "classic" boats, but this Nordhavn 43 very much fits the bill for my taste, and in a modern vessel too. As usual Nick, a great tour; informative and comprehensive. I could be very tempted were she just a little faster - 15 to 18 knots would be good. Thanks for the tour. I look forward to more.

I'm starting to do a ton of research on nordhaven boats. The beginning to realize that maybe there aren't that many of them out there and the few of them that are are becoming famous by name because I keep saying a lot of the same names show up in different videos. It doesn't bug me it just is kind of interesting to see. Or. Maybe there's a small number of North Havens that become very famous while the majority are silently out there happily carrying their people along. It's just an observation

[@Maulinator69]

I'm in the market for a new boat and tbh I'm really torn between the Nordhavn 43, the 47 and the Beneteau Swift Trawler 50. I've sailed 10's of thousands of miles since my early 20's and my last boat was a Grand Banks 46 Classic which I needed to sell for what proved to be a successful business investment. Now, I spend my time between Denmark where I have a home with my Danish partner, the UK and the Mediteranean where I love to summer... so you can see there's a diversity of waters to sail. My gut is telling me to go with the Nordhavn because I love the little ship look and sturdiness of these boats... but my heart and my younger partner is drawn to the Beneteau which does have a lot more deck space to enjoy the climate around the Greek Ionian islands and further afield. Thank you for your wonderful Aquaholic yacht tours which really are not making my decision any easier lol.

I imagine the name is of Scandinavian descent - Norhavn - in Danish would be pronounced Nord-ha-uun. - which the literal translation would be north harbour. My major thought with this boat is that the finishes (dark wood) and the chunky looks, actually make the space look smaller compared with an EU built boat of same size.
