Nordhavn 56 Motorsailer – NORDSAIL ONE – Trawler Tour

Few sailboats have the potential to cross oceans with equal ease under both sail and power. The Nordhavn 56 – NordSail One is a rare design that beautifully marries the potential to sail forever with a main engine power plant engineered by the passage making trawler leaders at PAE/Nordhavn.

NordSail One is the first of the series and led the charge that resulted in a further seven hulls to follow. The cost to order a new motorsailer today would exceed two million dollars and require a long wait.

Approaching NordSail One, you will admire an elegant looking sailing yacht with a roomy forward deck and a trawler like pilothouse that combines the salon and inside helm station. The transom has a molded-in swim platform and you ascend a few steps to arrive in the raised (and covered) cockpit which initiates the upper level entering the saloon and inside helm.

Her sailing performance is genuine, with a balanced sail plan and powered winches for ease of control. One brilliant innovation is her forward sailing helm station outside and ahead of the pilothouse. There is a large steering wheel on a binnacle with the essential navigation read outs mounted for quick reference. This outside well has a teak grate and comfortable seating, affording the skipper a great view of the sails and surroundings. This provides a secure center cockpit with excellent visibility and surprisingly easy sail controls.

The headsail is adjusted via a hydraulic furler and hydraulic primary winches and has a high cut foot for a clear view along the horizon. The full batten mainsail is stowed in a Leisurefurl boom that is supported by a Navtec hydraulic rod boom vang. There is an assortment of Lewmar electric and hydraulic winches to simplify sail trim adjustments. Sheet controls are on deck and on the mast. NordSail One also has the optional cruising spinnaker package. Any sailboat can travel with strong winds, one of the amazing attributes of NordSail One is how well she moves in a soft breeze. She is well balanced and stiff, but lively as well.
