Not all Nordhavns Not all Nordhavn’s are ocean crossers, Nordhavn Coastal Pilot 59’, twins, 15/16 kt fast cruise, 5’ draft, simple systems (albeit robust), modern layout, ocean capable from Alaska to Maine on its own bottom, can do the loop, easy for a couple, stand up engine room, should I go...

I like mine Wet, nothing hidden, plenty of room and not to hot. Nordhavn N5902 Coastal Pilot

Door lock If you look on your side door from the inside you’ll see a hole, it locks the door to prevent key access or something like that. I think it also works to lock your floor hatch to the engine room if my memory is still working ( at least on our 47 Europa) Mike

One word “stability” We had a 47’ GB Europa cruised comfortably at 18kts or 8 kts but if it was choppy rolling or confused you had to run fast, slow would wreck everything and everyone onboard. Most fast hulls don’t have stabilizers. If you’re going to be cruising 2-6 months (we do 9 - 10) get...

N5902 owner here. Getting a kick reading the comments and speculation from way back when. A little over 4500 nm on her from south Florida to the Chesapeake and now in the Bahamas. Will run forever at 8.5 kts or gobble diesel at 18 kts and does most everything we need for 10 months a year of...

I know this is an older thread but I just met with "the man" for all things boats in Charleston tax office re this exact topic. Best rate is Mt. P. Tax rate drops to 4 from 6 for 2nd residence (Primary also Mt. P).

Patience is a virtue! We have an 06 Europa 47 and love her but we are moving aboard full time and selling ours too... Glad your legal battle was positive, good luck on the upsizing too. Mike & Claiborne KARMA

Ha, no, that would be too easy AND smart!

You all helped with water maker installers in Islamorada so here goes again! Our Bose entertainment system doesn't work... We need a tech to diagnose and fix it; Islamorada the first week of January, Marathon the next 3. The radio has "worked" 3 times at least it made sound, it gets power etc...

Thanks, fortunately it is pre-plumbed...

Newbie here, want to purchase and have a new water maker installed on our GB47 while in the keys (January) before our 8 weeks in the Bahamas. Any suggestions? Thanks! Mike & Claiborne Ryan Karma GB 47 Europa

Thanks BandB. I grew up on the water, sailed, paddled and motored all over the South East and you are correct, Chicago to Grafton was an interesting place. Even with my OUPV and experience I would not have been fully prepared. Captain Matt reinforced the old addage of failure to prepare ... and...

In order 1977 Pizza Hut dish washer/manager, 1980 roofer/owner, 1985 salesman/manager, 2006 roofer/concrete maker owner.

The Captain Matthew Hahn Experience! Anyone looking for delivery/training or a great hand onboard should put this fellow at the top of their list. Captain Matt spent 4 days aboard Karma with Claiborne & I working us down to Grafton from Chicago. 1. Professional, 2. Prepared, 3. Patient, 4...

Newbie intro. Mike & Claiborne on Karma, GB47 Europa. Charleston based, Loop starts as soon as "Matthew" departs. Karma is in Holland, MI, we're in Asheville as evacuees (is that how it's spelled?). Will figure out how to resize photos for posting one day.

I think we were looking at the same boat, Lady Ann? We bought it! Doing the service and little piddly things now including props and bearings... Hurricane Matthew has disrupted our departure plans of this coming Monday. If you are delayed at all we will probably be leaving the following week.
