Hi Jim, On the next version maybe consider skegs so you can dry her out now twin props and rudders are standard. Opens a world of anchorages, harbours and safe hidey holes... also a 41 motor sailor or a way to use a kite would be ideal..
The N41 is a beautiful boat. That said, does the N41 have "Position Hold" as a feature? That is a significantly helpful feature on the ICW and in the Canal System on the northern part of the Great Loop when waiting for bridge openings, waiting for locks to clear before entering, and maneuvering inside locks which can be complicated when occupied by numerous boats. Of course, "Position Hold" requires the addition of a stern thruster. At this price point and to truly obtain the status of an excellent boat, "Position Hold" and duel bow and stern thrusters should be standard features. These features equate to improved safety to the boat and its occupants and superior handling capability in confined and/or challenging areas on the water - including marinas. I simply offer these feature upgrade suggestions to a beautiful boat that can be elevated even higher in its performance capabilities. I also feel that a stern helm station in the cockpit would be an extremely helpful feature to assist in docking at a marina or hugging a lock on the port side. The pilot station only has a starboard exit door. That makes it nearly impossible for the person at the helm to assist with the ropes. On a calm day or inside a quiet lock, that is not a concern. However, on a windy day or within a lock with several other boats, the water is turbulent and boat movement is both excessive and unpredictable. A helm station on the port side in the cockpit would negate these concerns allowing both people on board, or a single handed boat, to be successful time and again.
Sorry folks, because I’ve been a big fan of your designs for some time, but this one disappoints on several levels. The N40 & N43 where the smallest serious trawlers with a real pilothouse that worked. They were the smallest serious trawlers with a Portuguese bridge that worked. They were the smallest serious trawlers with a decent flybridge that worked. There is no mention of a dry stack on this model, so I’m assuming the wet exhaust is now the only option. The pilothouse is the office of a trawler. Now the helm / galley / salon looks like every other open space Euro-design. I wouldn’t come into someone’s office and start cooking my lunch or put my feet up to lounge; and I wouldn’t come into someone’s galley to handle my business. All of those features were serious assets that are now gone. As someone who is operationally limited to lower 40’ boats, I’ll have to look elsewhere to find those assets.
This is obviously a much different vessel then the boats you mentioned. Personally I would prefer additional cabin/bridge space and skip the Portuguese bridge. The 43 due to its size and materials had to be getting to expensive. This is a twin engine fast trawler. Open concepts are very efficient in boats under 50'.
Mr. Mystery, they're measuring sound levels underway at various locations on the boat. By way of reference, "normal conversation level" is considered to be 68dB. See: www.hearnet.com/at_risk/risk_trivia.shtml
I cringed when he walloped the anchor in at full whack on the windlass and it slammed back into its rest position. Absolutely no mechanical sympathy whatsoever. You’re taking the windlass from flat out to a crunch stop and quite possibly he left the chain bar taut and left the strain on the windlass. When it’s at the water line bring it in a foot at at time (let’s call it half a metre or 50 centimetres for our metric cousins) until it goes over the bow roller and sets itself correctly for stowage. Then inch it in leaving just the merest slack which you can take up with a safety line. Result the windlass is never overstrained and ready for you to rely on in all conditions.

She is a lovely boat. I would love to put her through her paces where I live (right next to the North Sea in England)
Reminds me of the Beneteau Swift Trawler and the Grand Trawler accept better built and nicer looking. Love Nordhavn Yachts.
Exactly. They took a Nordhavn, which was either top-tier or in a class by itself, and turned it into a Beneteau 😳
Brilliant. Thanks
I still like that 59 Coastal Pilot that seems like a good boat to start with
Jim forgot the beer?!!! Make him walk the plank! 😁

Perfect vessel for the North American Great Loop!!
What is the height of this boat with the mast up and how much does she draw?
Awesome! That's some tight turning circle!! I was ready for a cold beer after that too :)
Awesome!
So exciting 🍻🍻
This yacht is very nice looking.
congs with hull#1, Jim!
really wish I could hear something!
very nice!
Couldn’t see what was the max speed achieved and other details on the chart plotter

I agree with Jay , the pilot house is my office , i would not want distractions trying to enjoy my ride
Lekker man lekker
Such a clear explanation of what is going on. Oh a sea trial ... anything else ... results .... impressions?
CAUTION EAR PHONE WEARERS........ITS LOUD!!!!!
2600rpm? Twin engine? Beautiful boat^^
U
Fantastic dream boat but ....o demir oyle atilmaz haci.
That's a nordhavn for you. Doing 71 knots and looks like it's doing 10... Amazing boat.
WHAT??
Those numbers you see are Decibles ( Noise levels taken in different areas of the boat ).
NOT Speed.
@@b.atwater3904 no kidding!!!
@@thereissomecoolstuff Some people just don't get humor.
What's the purpose of using that mobile application ?
Looked like a db app

Yikes to the video and audio quality 🥺 boat is beautiful though

It is not a Nordhavn if it doesn't have a portuguese bridge.
