I vote this couple as the coolest Nordhavn couple ever. Thank you so very much! I do wish I could own one.

I am helms detail person and this 52 helm is a CAPTAINS DREAM:) The ability to see everything at a glance to include the outside, bak system display in the sleeping area, great helms balance with systems on the ground level, mid is the maps, radar and top ceiling layout, great layout. I never miss a boat /yacht show and this helm compares to yachts that cost five million dollars! Im not sure what this one cost, but in my opinion new its about two million.

Great video. A pleasure to listen to someone who knows what he/she is talking about. It’s always better to hear from someone who actually owns a trawler, rather than a well-intentioned KZbinr who borrows one for a few hours.

If you are interested in learning and watching their travels the MV Dirona website has proved to be absolutely amazing to me. I have it bookmarked and am currently reading through their entire odyssey. These two are a well oiled machine and the improvements they made to their boat will be the first thing on my mind when I travel down to Dana Point to discuss my boat purchase.

Something you may consider. The majority of old salts hardly ever do is take stock of what you have and eliminate those things you never use. In some cases get rid of the old and replace with new. Everything evolves including tools. For$70 bucks I recently saw a set of combination open ended and closed ratchet set. That one tool eliminates two other tools. On a boat weight is money you know that.

In my business we use a remote management system to monitor servers and networks that will not only alert us of a problem but a potential problem so then the administrator can get ahead of something and keep it from becoming an issue or dismiss it as being benign... it all depends on how it has been configured. Would you say that what you're using to manage the boats systems is very similar?

Greetings from Vancouver Island. I live on Discovery Passage and I love seeing Nordhavns go by. My favourite so far has been the Tofield's 52, without the flybridge. Do you have problems docking your 52 because you obviously have more windage? Also, does the John Deere, you have, perform better than the Luggers, economy wise?
