OVERVIEW:

Blue Dragon is the second Nordhavn for this owner.  She has the Nordhavn bulbous bow, and the optional three-stateroom layout featuring two sleeping cabins forward that share the forward guest head.  The Nordhavn 50 is a venerable model in the Nordhavn line with a very attractive look and profile.   

The hull was painted royal blue in 2005.  In general, a linear polyurethane finish has color and gloss retention that exceeds gelcoat.

Retirement from boating is the reason that Blue Dragon is now offered for sale.  As a bonus, Blue Dragon currently has over 900 gallons of diesel fuel onboard.  Together with the proven transoceanic capability of the Nordhavn 50, Blue Dragon’s specifications make her a great family cruising yacht, and well suited for Northwest cruising as well as warmer climate regions.

Interior Layout - General:

Blue Dragon has the asymmetrical layout so that the interior space in the salon and galley benefit by the port cabin side extending to the port rail.

Enter the salon through the cockpit/aft salon door.  The dinette table and settee are to port, and a bottle locker just forward of the salon settee.  To starboard just inside the door is a locker for convenient jacket storage.  Just forward to starboard are two loose arm chairs separated by an end table type locker.

At the forward end of the salon to port is the galley, with generous counter space, and double bowl sink conveniently located at the outboard corner of the galley, and lots of drawer and locker storage.

Just to starboard of the galley is direct access to the master stateroom, down a few steps.  The engine room access door is in the aft bulkhead of the master stateroom.  The master has an athwartship double bed with hanging lockers fore and aft, drawer storage under and beside the bed, and a large dressing mirror on the forward bulkhead.

Access to the master head is to starboard inside the master stateroom.

To starboard outboard are steps up to the pilothouse.  The pilothouse has an impressive electronics console forward of the helm chair.  Aft of the helm chair are a large settee and dinette table.  There is a single watch berth up and aft of settee.  There are pilothouse doors port and starboard for deck access.

Forward and to starboard in the pilothouse are steps down to the forward door of the master stateroom, and access to the port and starboard guest staterooms.  Each of the two staterooms has over and under bunks.  Both staterooms have access to the guest head forward.

Deck Layout - General:

The transom has a very useful swim step and transom door to the cockpit.  From the cockpit there is access to the foredeck via the starboard side deck.  There is a boarding door in the bulwark of the starboard side deck about halfway forward.  At the forward end of the sidedeck are steps up to the pilothouse deck and Portuguese bridge, and foredeck. 

The Foredeck is well-designed for working.  Just forward of the Portuguese bridge are deck gear storage lockers.  All the way forward is the ground tackle handling area, where the windlass, Freeman anchor locker deck hatch, and anchor rollers channels are situated in an area of the deck molded to contain mud and debris.  All decks drain to the waterline to prevent streaking of the hull with residue.   

Following the Portuguese bridge to port allows access to the port pilothouse door and steps up to the boat deck.  The boat deck may also be accessed from the cockpit ladder aft.  On the boat deck are the tender, davit, and liferaft canister mounted in its cradle.  There is a lot of room on the boat deck for additional deck box storage and lounging.

Pilothouse
