 NORDHAVN Tech
The Nordhavn Owner’s Manual
You are off the archipelago of Tierra del Fuego. You have taken on 600 gallons of diesel and discover water in the fuel
dirty water
now what?
Building an adventure yacht that
can take you and your crew around
the world in safety and first-class
comfort is no simple task.
By necessity, a Nordhavn is a complicated
piece of machinery that requires a high
level of skill and knowledge to operate.
Understanding this, Nordhavn creates a
custom owner’s operation manual with
detailed schematics for each boat that
explains in great detail how each system
aboard works.
propulsion and many others. In addition to
everyday procedures like starting the
engines, operating the thrusters and
launching the dinghy, the manual also
provides quick and thorough answers when
an owner needs to find a valve or a fuse,
needs to know how the gravity-fed fuel sys-
tem works or needs to know how to operate
the emergency bilge pump or fire system.
iary systems, complete with detailed specifi-
cations, maintenance suggestions and dia-
grams. Before I was halfway through, I was
sold – a manufacturer capable of creating
such a manual would simply have to be
one helluva manufacturer.”
It’s not enough to hand the owner
the keys to a boat like a Nordhavn
and say “bon voyage.”
Providing own-
ers with an industry-leading manual enables
them to quickly climb the learning curve and
begin enjoying their journey whether it’s just
down the coast or all the way across an
ocean. You can’t put a price on peace of
mind, and the Nordhavn owner’s manual
provides that and much more.
It comes as no surprise that the boating
media has taken notice. Renowned boating
journalist, Capt. Bill Pike, had this to say
about the Nordhavn
owner’s manual:
“Talk about thor-
oughness. A prelimi-
nary section on law
enforcement hit
everything from
radio procedure to
boating safety. A con-
struction summary described laminates, the
hull-to-deck joint and lots of other nitty-
gritty items an owner bent on understand-
ing, maintaining and making passages
aboard a yacht would want to know. Then
came the good stuff – approximately 150
pages dealing with engineering and auxil-
“Every boat we build
includes a certain
level of customization
by the owner,”
says Jim
Leishman, Vice President
and co-owner of Nordhavn
yachts. “This is one reason
we have two dedicated sys-
tems engineers on staff
who inspect every boat and write a manual
specific to each boat. Many well-seasoned
boaters have told me the manuals we pro-
vide are the best they’ve ever seen.”
