Sold, I know, but I still enjoy watching your videos especially of the 56 MS or better if you ask me, the 56 TS. A Nordhavn trawler with a sail plan and the addition of the Hundestedt (sp?) propeller, just makes this vessel so practical and efficient to me. My dream boat, one I cannot afford sadly. While I am partial to the sailing cockpit version, I am impressed by what the prior owner did with the layout of the galley and by reconfiguring the guest stateroom by providing for a day head which I feel is very beneficial. And BTW, I like all of your tours which are appreciated because you point out things that may be overlooked by some.

I've always wondered how much can such a big boat make on sails alone? I assume that the purpose of the sails is mostly to supplement the engine to reduce fuel consumption and extend range, but in case the engine malfunctions, without a second engine you have to rely on sails alone, and it's such a heavy boat. All in all I have to say I really like this nordhavn, never understood why there aren't more of them around.
@JeffMerrillYachts Жыл бұрын
Darkest: The sailing in light wind is the real news, most sailboats can handle a blow. The sails are to enjoy peace and quiet and travel far, but you can also balance/offset with the engine propulsion. Sails are a primary or back up, same with the Lugger main. There should be a lot more of these, I am a very strong proponent of the Nordhavn 56 motorsailer and wish there were dozens of them out cruising.

Absolutely gorgeous in her old school style. I do wonder about the use of freshwater toilets with a fairly small water storage. I know she has a large capacity water maker but why use so much energy to make water when salt water is free. 66cm head room in the engine room is problematic, especially for older owners, changing filters would be a back breaking task. Induction cooktops are the very best but they use a massive amount of energy and all those lead acid batteries must weigh a “ton”. More solar panels, regenerative gearbox/prop and LiFePo4 batteries would lessen the need for the generator.
@JeffMerrillYachts11 ай бұрын
8949. Thank you for outlining your thoughts. What type of boat do you own? I appreciate your thoughts, but, like everything on a boat there is always another view or way. Freshwater toilets are very common and for a sailboat of this size 350 gallons is a lot of flushing power. I find the engine access superb compared to the engine "lockers" on so many sailboats. AGM batteries are safe, practical and yes, very heavy - this is a full displacement boat that has 17,500 pounds of ballast in the keel - the battery weight is not a factor. The next owner can do all of the upgrades you suggest if they feel they are needed, this yacht has served this couple for over a dozen years and the solar and Lithium upgrades were not available or as common when Perlandra was built. Check out the generator hours on our website, it has not been overworked! Thank you for watching

I delivered a 56MS from Puerto Vallarta to New Zealand. It was comfortable and easy to sail even singlehanded. The controllable pitch prop makes it an excellent motorsailor.

Been watching your videos since you were with Nordhavn specifically. I love the 56ms, so pretty and useful. Personally I would want the sailing cockpit for nice cruising days but I get to each it’s own. Love the hull #1 vids you made. ‘Kindred Spirits’ (2nd round) and Pitch perfect’ 56ms looked like a good ones and good price. I would have to name it ‘someday’ apparently. Blueish hulls look great on the 56ms. Are they/will they (Nordhavn) still making these? Guessing tariffs possible issue. I also really love your videos of Diesel Duck 382 ‘Jubilee’. I think those are gorgeous and very safe passage makers. That little guy was an amazing price for what it was. Thanks again for the great videos and you are making future yacht owners when you do them. PS. Let me know how to be an intern sir.

Captain Fred: Thank you for your fun message, I like the concept of your offer, but alas, it will probably be a gentle no. Cal II-46, like all Cal's a classic. Yes, sheet in and go while you can!

Motorv8N: Thank you very much! She is a great a beautiful vessel, all I had to do was share what I saw, this yacht speaks for herself!

This is the only Motor- Sailer that I would own. Reason? Engine room access and the amount of refrigeration she has Not that everything else she has wasn’t wonderfully thought out… 2 steps up to-the head? Haha

Hi Frank! Thank you for watching and commenting. This really is an awesome yacht - the unlimited range is just one of the side benefits of a gorgeous vessel that has been thought through detail by detail and obviously lovingly cared for!

Nordhavn sure does build 'em pretty. Further proof that while money may not buy happiness, it darned sure makes misery more enjoyable.

Facul: Well said, and this is really a great Nordhavn that has already provided a boat load of happiness to the current owners - misery stays ashore.

I’ve commented on this boat several times, it’s such a beautiful boat. If it would’ve been within my means, I would’ve bought it immediately. I’m so jealous of whoever purchase this boat.

Sonny: It was a great transaction with wonderful sellers and buyers. You will likely see more of Perelandra as the new crew start to explore. Thank you for your note!

I'm looking for a nordhavn 56, but I don't like the choices the owners made on outfitting this one. I'll give this one a pass.
@fastskipper777 Жыл бұрын
Can I ask why? I am really curious. I don't own a boat but always want to learn.

Rvail: Thank you for watching. I love the choices they made (as have most of our viewers). This is one of the nicest Nordhavns I have listed and I LOVE their choices.

less your face and more video of the boats. It's like you are a fast talking used car salesman. I've subscribed for years and the only way I can watch the videos is to mute the sound. Love your videos otherwise. Thanks for the effort
@JeffMerrillYachts6 ай бұрын
PD: Noted. Appreciate your comment, but I'm not going to change being in my videos, it's how I do this. Might I suggest you turn off the sound ? You might get a kick out of the closed caption option - usually hilarious mis-interpretations. I have a short amount of time to tour an entire boat, of course I have to speed up my speech. The words I say are not made up, it's a fact based presentation and I'm not asking anyone to buy anything, so I don't think your used car comment is warranted. Thanks for watching.
@lardal15022 ай бұрын
I think you need to be in your video for perspective and judging space on the boat. The salesman comment is unwarranted. I think you are a sailsman though. I think a small day head in the pilothouse to ort of the rear door would be a good option. There would still be room for a barrel chair in front to port.

Can you sail this boat without the engine or generator to help support the electrical load?
@JeffMerrillYachts9 ай бұрын
Pepe: With sail alone you are able to make electricity through solar (underway or at anchor). With the generator and main engine alternator you can make electricity, sorry not clear what you are asking.
