The Nordhavn story has always been one of adventure and innovation. In 1999, PAE's naval architect Jeff Leishman introduced the Nordhavn 40, a small yet capable vessel that gained acclaim after completing a 26,000-mile circumnavigation in under 26 weeks without issues. This achievement informed the development of the Nordhavn 43, which combines lessons from the journey and 25 years of boat-building expertise. Unlike market-driven designs, the Nordhavn 43 was crafted to improve upon the Nordhavn 40 while offering a more accessible option than the larger Nordhavn 47.
Opal Lady is a well-kept, well-appointed vessel that is a testament to the intention of the 43. It has navigated extensively, offering reliability, confidence and comfort to its owners. From an engineering standpoint she is a dream, with multiple upgrades, fantastic access to machinery and systems that are well laid out and practical. Equipped with the 165hp Luger engine and Yanmar wing engine, coupled with 4,542L of fuel, she an ideal choice as a long-range cruiser in a very manageable size.
