Dam Jeff! You sure don't let any grass grow under your feet! You get around my Brother! Your in my back yard now! Awesome video as always! Thanks for sharing!........ Oh And yes I saw the 3D Video also! Nice job! 😎👍⚓
Capt Rick! Hey amigo! The market is starting to shift a bit, there are a handful of boats becoming available. Glad you liked the 360. For people who really want to learn a boat by viewing, that is a great platform.
It's awesome to finally see a walkthrough of a US '40. Something i have my eye on for retirement in 2yrs. Just wondering how this layout compares in your experience to the 39CP and the new '41 for single handing and as a " starter " trawler. Thanks Jeff for the thorough walkthrough.
Could you just install a 15kw motor where the wing engine used to be? Use the Genset as a get me home engine that way? There should be everything for a shaft to be installed right?
Marti: The wing shaft was removed and the cutlass bearing tube sealed. You could install another wing engine. Most Power Take Offs require the drive off of the existing generator (which may not be large enough in this case) to ratchet on to the main shaft.
Thanks for the videos! Just a recommendation: myself and many others like the 1st person walkthrough style tours like Nick does on Aquaholic. It helps watchers get a better feel for the flow and layout and lets us feel like we are really on the boat! This is not to take anything away from your current videos because they are great but perhaps this is something you could experiment with.
Tyler: Thank you. I think Nick is awesome and is really good. This is an important marketing tool for JMYS and I appreciate your suggestion and encouragement.
Another enjoyable and informative tour Jeff, but I still have my sights set on a similar yacht to "paradise found", she would be a perfect yacht for my needs.
John: Thank you for your note. You seem to have a longing for a Nordhavn - good thinking. Paradise Found is a 60 - four times more money, but a very impressive trawler.
@@JeffMerrillYachts from what I have seen and heard about these "Tanks of the seas", Jeff you really do get what you pay for with nordhavn. I would say that I have been "influenced" a great deal by your video descriptions, tours and off shore teaching video's into probably making a future purchase of either a nordhavn or an outer reef yacht Jeff.
@@johningham4942 Thank you John. It is important to do your research and the internet can provide a great education. As you narrow down your choices it is wise to team up with a yacht broker who can learn what you are looking for and make arrangements to get you aboard and see how they feel. Please contact me directly if you are interested - Jeff@JMYS.com or 949.355.4950. Thanks for your nice note.
@@JeffMerrillYachts Thank you Jeff you will be my first port of call when I am ready to purchase a yacht, thank you for everything I have learnt from you and your wonderful channel!
Herby: If viewers want to comment, that is fine. We purposely don't include price or hours in the video, because it is possible that they might change. Thank you.
With an 18' and change air draft (mast and paravanes lowered) this would be a loop capable boat, although the 5'2" draft is borderline in many areas. However, what's the "wingspan" with the paravanes deployed? My first guess is about 40' or so. I like the price tag, although I'd like it better if I had the $$ to buy it LOL If I could, the major things I'd want to do would be to get the diesel furnace working, re-install the wing engine, add a shore power converter (for international use), fuel water separators between the mains and day tank and maybe upgrade the house batteries to LiFePo4.
Michigan: I don't know the actual pole tip to pole tip "wing span". Beam is 14'6" and the outriggers extend with an upward angle, but under 40' seems right. Good thing is you could buy it and not have to do anything. As you get more familiar you could start taking on improvement projects...or, just keep cruising. Thanks for your note.
@A Law True, but you still have to haul the things in, horse them around to hook up and (eventually) haul them out for replacement. I'd rather add FIXED weight for ballast and keep movable items as light as possible.
@A Law If I _never_ have to refill a battery with distilled water, it will be too soon. To me that is one of the biggest drawbacks to any of the lead-acid variants, or even liquid filled Ni-Cads that are available. One place I worked built chargers for F-16 starter batteries, water filled NiCads. Those batteries were a ROYAL PITA to keep and maintain even in a shop environment. I'll freely admit that may indeed be coloring my perception of deep cycle batteries.
Love the way the way the 40 is layed out the new 41 i dont like the way its layed out. I would rather see the pilot house more sepparate from the rest of the boat , i like a quiet office
Dan: A raised pilothouse has many advantages. I hear the 41 is selling well and very popular, more proof that PAE Nordhavn has a great design team and that they appeal to a broad base of boaters
Answered myself.. passive anti-roll paravane system. Found a video on another Nordhavn 40 where the owner explains the deployment and recovery - th-cam.com/video/EYp8eVApLrg/w-d-xo.html
You can put a shaft drive hydraulic unit on the generator the generator and add it to the shaft and and it would become a backup for the missing wing engine.
@@JeffMerrillYachts oh for sure an oceanvolt saildrive would be a way to go too. I think that will be the new way to go when the prices drop the technology is getting so good and regen on batteries at 6 knots is great.
Chip: Anything is possible, comes down to cost and location. I'm not aware of any 40's with a Seakeeper gyro. I believe they work better when centered.
Kyle: Didn't know that. His father had a family boat named KEMO SABE, so it is a family tradition name. Yes, Tonto from the Lone Ranger - always saved the day
The Yale Book of Quotations defines the Kemo Sabe as “faithful friend or trusty scout.” Another interpretation from The Lone Ranger days was that it was an English-ized version of "quien sabe" which means "who knows" in Spanish. To that, the Lone Ranger replied, "Tonto" which means stupid or silly. I couldn't find "slow thinking one" as any interpretation anywhere. Just sayin.
@@LiveTheStreetLife That is because where you got your interpretations were white authored. Case in point, I realize it was "Hollywood" But who knew more about their environmental situations? Tonto did. So it shows who was the slow thinking one.
Todd: Most single engine trawlers don't have a wing engine. Most Nordhavn's do, but plenty of other very capable trawlers rely solely on their main engine.
MrDamon888: Price, photos and specifications are posted on JMYS.com. We have a policy of not including numbers that can change over time in our videos, like pricing and engine hours. Thank you!
@@JeffMerrillYachts it's the frames..and size.. understanding it's age.. strange they didn't replace the backup engine..they must be shirt range sailers..I like this boat manufacturer in general..thanks
@@minnehonk1 The people who ordered the boat didn't have a choice. The sellers are the third owners. They stopped trying to fix the wing engine after spending thousands of dollars, which turned out to be a smart move since the engine was problematic internally. Instead of installing a new wing engine that they knew they wouldn't use in coastal cruising, they spent money elsewhere. Many of the components - shaft, propeller, etc. are included if someone wanted to add a wing engine. When you own the boat, you get to make those decisions.
With both sides of my family being in various commercial marine and boat businesses, I grew up on boats. I've seen thousands of boats. This is by far the ugliest boat I think I have ever seen. I would not want to be at sea in rough weather with all the glass on this boat. Floating greenhouses are at risk at sea. Enough said.
Threat: Interesting observation. With hundreds of Nordhavns out cruising over millions of miles they have proven their capability. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose.

CPcamaro: Good point, I should have. They are called "paravanes" and you deploy them to keep you from rocking at anchor and they also work underway.
@@JeffMerrillYachtsc
great review Jeff
Thank you very much!
You can put a shaft drive hydraulic unit on the generator the generator and add it to the shaft and and it would become a backup for the missing wing engine.
Chad: There are alternatives to wing engines, each has advantages and disadvantages.
@@JeffMerrillYachts oh for sure an oceanvolt saildrive would be a way to go too. I think that will be the new way to go when the prices drop the technology is getting so good and regen on batteries at 6 knots is great.
In the absence of the wing engine, I'd put in a seakeeper
David: You would have room, but the paravanes work for stabilization underway and a rest and are very quiet.
Jeff can a sea keeper go aft of the engine and the genset moved? Or is this a no-no for a 40' or all Nordhavn's?
Chip: Anything is possible, comes down to cost and location. I'm not aware of any 40's with a Seakeeper gyro. I believe they work better when centered.
@@JeffMerrillYachts Thanks for the response! I was always curious if the case.
About all that needs installed is a back splash at the sink in the galley. Didn't mention the range.

Is the original Pollock painting included in the price? 😎

The term that was made famous from Tonto, "Kemo Sabe", has been translated as; "Slow thinking one" ... Just Sayin.

Sand: Why not?
Isn't it a little risky to go off shore without a wing engine??
Todd: Most single engine trawlers don't have a wing engine. Most Nordhavn's do, but plenty of other very capable trawlers rely solely on their main engine.
