I thought that the thing about the Nordhavn 41 and 51 was that they were production style , complete with stabilisers and electronics, for a set price. I assume that the standard stabilisers are hydraulic. Why does your brother-in-law want to vary the standard spec? Just interested in the...

I asked Santa for updates to this thread as my special present this year. What do you think my chances are?

A pleasant holiday cottage on the lake front with changing views? What’s not to like?

Do they connect to your anodes for galvanic protection as presumably the plates are exposed to salt water.?

I agree. I owned a ST 42, which was a great boat although some of the same issues raised by Bouba also apply. I just don’t see what the 47 is trying to be. For my money the 52 was the apex of the range and is still holding its value well. Maybe one day...

Volvopaul all the way. Great technically and very sensible in regard to only foing what needed to be done based on time and usage.

Well, I know that I am going to get shouted at but.... the last published accounts for the RNLI (31/12/13, they are very slow to publish 2014) show Investments equal to £280 million which represents over 2 years charitable expenditure. So whilst it is a charity close to our hearts and one that...

A course on mayonnaise usage on board?
