Nordhaven? So to contradict the theme of the post only the Americans would build an engine room as good as that.
What makes a British boat better than USA boat?

When you say which country does it come from, do you mean designed in or built in?
The American designed Offshore range of SD cruisers, the plus 60 footers, are a spectacular vessel in every sense of the word, and are Asian built. Their Quality control is right up to the mark.
The picture appears to be a big boat with a single screw, I couldn't which make. Great engine room though!

Yup, American she is. More pics here.
On a side note, it's amazing how good at marketing they are in Pacific Asian Enterprises: they founded a Company whose name says it all, but kept such a low profile on it that it's even unknown to most boaters.
You're not the first person I heard talking about their boats as American... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Hi Callum, I didn't read your post before posting mine.
I understood Country "built in" as the point of the original question.
Anyway, I beg to partially disagree with your view.
Nordhavn, Marlow and so forth and indeed well built.
But spectacular are other ones, like Wanderbird (the boat I previously linked).

Thats why I'm here, to expand my knowledge on these great boats, I read with great interest the voyage of the Nordhaven from Europe to New Zealand, what fantasic trip!!!
I am hoping to expand questions and theories to understand what makes you boaters tick!!
No one person has got all the answers

u r right no one boat has all the answers for everyone but quality is visible to all, I guess
as for Nordhavn I would say this was also an interesting marketing lesson too
