A must see at Dusseldorf ..........

Cor..... there's no pleasing some people /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif If it had twin 5000bhp turbines and surface drives would it appeal a bit more /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Each to their own, I agree with the interior but I never judge a boat on that, its like saying I wouldn't buy a house because the walls are magnolia, new build at this level you can pretty much have what you want really.

Still no match for that beast soon on its way, when do we get to see any in build pictures?

PS.... when your there next you couldn't just nip round the design office and snap off a few pics could you /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Sorry Trev, didn't mean to come across so dismissive. It's just not my cup of tea that's all, but I can see why others might like it.

New Magnum is just a vat of resin at the moment but should be something more boat shaped on 14th January /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Still does'nt answer the question as to how you get into the tender to release the crane lifting wires? Jump from the deck perhaps? A few months ago I was sitting on my boat in an anchorage and I watched a so called professional crew launch a tender from the flybridge of their large yacht. It swung around so much that the o/b engine smashed a saloon window. Then after much shouting they dropped it into the water but not before making a nice gouge in their hull gelcoat
IMHO, the best and safest place to launch a tender from is the bathing platform
 
I'd second that, looks all trick having fancy crane and flash dingy on the roof but from a practical view point pretty hopeless, even tender garages can be a pain on bigger boats when the boat is sloshing about trying to get the hook of the winch onto the nose of the dingy and then onto the rollers is a curse, much better Hi Lo hydrualic platform, motor over it in the lowered mode push button and up it comes, may not be exactly on right but you can jig it about onto the chocks.

I ve tried them all and platform is by far the easiest, suppose its why so many med boats have big uns cus they use the dingy all the time.

Is one of the considerations on the Fleming, the RIB is on the roof and Mrs N isn't that butch that she can keep it fendered off from the cockpit. Doesn't seem to be any explorer / trawler type doofer that has big enough space on the platform, perhaps because in bigger seas the platform is awash alot of the time.
 
It's not rocket science really.
The RIB can be brought alongside with a line, up to the nearer lateral door, where you can board it easily and release the wires.
Just a matter of having a long enough cable in the crane.

...on a side note, you pointed out another argument against big windows: the smaller they are, the lower the chances to smash them with the o/b engine!

I think you're all missing the point. This is probably the first expedition type yacht (of its size that I've seen) that also has some decent space for outdoor loafing. If I tried to sell the Nordhavn to Mrs PeteM there's no way she'd go for it but I think she could be tempted by this.

I actually think this would be a good live aboard yacht, she would definitely look at home in the med or somewhere colder.

BTW, if you look at the deck plan there is a tender garage with space for a decent rib and a jet ski.

Thats if the boat has one and it's got some steps as well /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Sure, but that's rather the norm than the exception, on any boat big enuff to carry a crane and tender(s) on the bow...
