This is an excellent video! Your videography is polished; smooth drone work. And you captured exactly what owning a Nordhavn is like. I enjoy your channel and have learned a lot. You're good ambassadors!

Terrific Video guys, Very professionally put together and getting better all the time. I can tell you what I love about these Nordhavns. I love the Trawler look, I love the proper bridge feel from the inside and outside. The windows are shippy shaped like they were on ships in the 50s and sixties. The high up bow feels safe in big seas. The whole design inside and the beautiful wood finish and the right colour wood. I have a silly question, maybe you can both answer it or someone else. How come they are such great quality boats if they are manufactured in China?

*Kevin Walker* "How come they are such great quality boats if they are manufactured in China?" Shipbuilding has a long tradition in China. If you look around you can find people who take pride in workmanship anywhere, and PAE's owners have found good yards and supervised the work done in them well. They won't accept less than the highest standards, and the workers are compensated well for doing quality work. Pacific Asian Enterprises now works with yards in China, Taiwan, and -- most recently -- Turkey, so if any given subcontractor doesn't make the grade, they can take their production elsewhere. That's a good motivator.
