Yeah I've seen them before. I don't like the look my self; different folks: different strokes.I have never seen a Nordhavn 46 with a front mast used for a crows nest before. I thought it was a motorsailor at first, but the broker said there is no sail. Kind of strange. Kind of cool. Can't afford it so I guess it doesn't matter.
No, I should of phrased that differently. I meant a fiberglass guy to patch the thru-bolt's and wire pull holes on the deck.Are you suggesting that the masts are fiberglass? Maybe on your new Nordy, but not this old girl.
I'm sure your able to remove it, but you'll need a fiberglass guy.
Or a Photoshop guy. This is one of those boats that I don't miss the forward mast for appearance. If the pilothouse were more aft, maybe, but not this one. I think it looks more balanced without it.
Yep! Hit it right on the head. The forward mast totally wrecks the all the aesthetic value of the whole boat IMO.Or a Photoshop guy.

It looks better without the mast and crow`s nest. It would look worse without them stuck on a rock in a dodgy anchorage.
the 46 has really classic looks ...
with the fly bridge and the Crows Nest not so much.
as much as I love a fly bridge there's no way I would want one on a N 46

Sails and flying bridges don't usually go hand-in-hand.
Flying bridges interfere with sails, besides significantly increasing boat costs and unwanted windage.
One of the reasons I got into trawlers is to get rid of sails!..
To each their own.
Yeah, I couldn't imagine all the clinking and clanging going on well underway. I've also spent many ours on tuna towers ain't that bad as long as you making some sort of headway.Having spent many hours in Tuna towers it really isnt a good spot to be, I would remove a lot of that clutter.
