lies ready for the next destination. A long-time boater, Richard Ackerman has logged over 250,000 miles on both sailboats and
powerboats. After owning a number of different boats, Ackerman is a Nordhavn devotee, thanks to the overall quality and "outstanding customer support."
Nordhavn designs for speedy, safe
journeys in all waters.
It's easy to
imply that bigger engines will get you to
your destination faster. But experienced,
passagemaking sailors know better.
Nordhavns are designed for optimum sea-
worthiness, in other words, safety and
comfort are not sacrificed for speed. Yet
with its superior design, a Nordhavn can
often reach a destination hours or even
days ahead of a larger, more powerful boat.
made by a well-respected builder, had sus-
tained life-threatening damage because
since it was built with big twin engines to
go 15, 20 knots, as a function of that
design, it had smaller rudders. It was
much bigger than my Nordhavn, but its
rudder was one-quarter the size. So when
they tried to go fast in somewhat rough
seas, the boat started to pound. If they
went slow, they couldn't steer the boat and
the boat would broach. It was, as I was told
later, a very harrowing experience for the
professional crew."

enjoy. I like crystal. We have crystal vases,
crystal glassware, crystal everywhere.
When we head out, the crew puts everything

stable, so I had the crew leave the crystal
out. We went 1,000 miles this summer,
across to Maine and back, and not one vase
moved, not in 20 knots, not in 30 knots."
Nordhavn seaworthiness is quickly becoming
the standard by which all other passagemakers,
offshore and coastal, are judged. See for your
self how Nordhavn can make your journeys
safe, comfortable and luxuriously relaxing.

Just ask Nordhavn 64 owner Richard
Ackerman. "My Nordhavn is truly a small
ship," says Richard. "She performs unbe-
lievably. Now I saw a really beautiful, 105'
boat come limping into port after getting
battered by seas - the same seas we had
just crossed without incident. This boat,
Nordhavn also designs for
comfort,
and Richard was able to take
this aspect of his Nordhavn one step further.
"My Nordhavn has a very large, elegant
interior and it gives me the opportunity to
