Re: Dusseldorf report - Nordhavn - 1

pitch a Nordhavn against a semi submerged container and my money would be on the Nordhavn.



Just say how much, and I'll put mine on the container anytime.
It's not so relevant how strong the hull structure is. GRP, not being flexible, is bound to crack.
For oceanic passages, steel is the only way to go imho.
Besides, what is driving that prop on port side? The genny maybe?
If so, it's good to know that modern diesels are very reliable.
I wouldn't fancy being left with that propulsion only in gale 8 - and maybe the stabs not working because connected to the main engine?
Overall, definitely a nice boat, though.
