Dear Ken
So you have been in Ireland. Should you ever grace Britain with your
presence it would be great to get together for a drink or two. As to
Bjork's ownership of Sans Souci, I am not exactly a fan of her music
but if she is serious about cruising - and in a Nordhavn at that! - she
definitely goes up in my personal sympathy rankings.
On a different note, having wandered the Southampton Boat Show, I could
not help but noticing that many of the manufacturers of larger vessels
make quite a deal out of the fact that they keep structures as low as
possible in order to preserve stability. Now, this might have come up
before - and I have no doubts in the stability of a Nordhavn whatsoever
- I was just wondering how they do keep their yachts stable with these
towering wheel houses etc.
The question is, of course, whether your 68, for example, really is
that much higher than a comparable boat of similar size. But when I
look at a Trader 64, let's say, with her 'single storey' construction,
a Nordhavn must be taller for sure. Also, Nordhavn themselves mention it
in their promotional material that their yachts 'tower over' others.
What are your thoughts on this? Did this question come up when you discussed the boat with them?
Yours
Peter
