OVERVIEW:

Samba is hull #49, well into the Nordhavn 40 II series — perhaps the most capable 40-foot passagemaking powerboat ever designed — and has many of the basic system configurations, port light style, and other developments that followed hull #21, the Nordhavn 40 that circumnavigated in the 2001 “Around-the-World” voyage.  She has the well-proven Nordhavn dry stack exhaust system and gravity feed fuel system, producing one of the most reliable engine systems fitted on any yacht.

Samba’s owners have a passion for exploring Alaska and have becomes students of the region, adapting “Samba” for comfortable life aboard there.  A review of the equipment specifications will reveal that from her diesel heating system,  her navigation electronics package, and transmission trolling valve, to her Nordhavn paravane stabilization system, and custom swim step extension, she is especially well equipped for the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, but would serve very well in the lower latitudes too.

Samba has been tuned and refined over 11,000 miles and is ready to cruise anywhere in the World.  The average fuel burn over that distance – including generator and diesel heat – has yielded a 3-mile per gallon consumption rate.

She has paravane stabilizers providing simple, effective stabilization when needed, and increased fuel efficiency when stowed.  The owners report a deployment time of approximately 3 minutes, and a retrieval time of 5 minutes.  An added benefit of the paravane system is that it is also effective at anchor.

Samba has the optional flybridge and the standard Nordhavn 40 interior layout:  Enter the salon through a gasketed, dogged, aluminum door.  There is a dinette settee and table to starboard and an opposing settee with dinette table to port.  The galley is at the port forward end of the salon, and has granite countertops.  Just forward there are steps up to the pilothouse and down to the passageway access to the head and sleeping cabins.  The head, with separate stall shower is to starboard and the guest stateroom is to port.  Engine room access is through the guest cabin, although there is a mechanic’s and egress hatch in the salon.  At the forward end of the passageway is the master stateroom.  The master has a centerline double bed.   

The engine room of the Nordhavn 40 is legendary for its space and systems organization.

“Samba” has been cruised for three seasons in Alaska, and has received detailed maintenance and significant upgrades between each cruising season.  She exudes pride-of-ownership, and enters the market as her owners seek a larger Nordhavn.

Pilothouse

As it is with much of the interior accommodation the pilothouse on the Nordhavn 40 seems to come from a much larger yacht that functions well for extended period operation.  There is plenty of room for instrument placement on the console, and Samba’s electronics complement makes good use of it.  The forward windscreen has reverse rake for interior light glare reduction and water shedding.

Engines/fuel system:

The main engine, wing engine, and fuel system configuration are the same as fitted on hull #21, the “Around-the-World” boat.

• Main Engine (1880 hrs) – Lugger 668D, 105hp, continuous-duty rating, w/Twin Disc 3.9:1 transmission and 2” propeller shaft.  The same engine configuration that powered N40 #21 on the “Around-the-World” voyage, and other Nordhavn 40’s on other trans-oceanic passages.
• Main engine alternators – 1ea. 130-amp, and 1ea. 40-amp.
• Trolling valve on main engine for salmon fishing
• Stainless steel guard rail around engine
• Spurs line cutter on main shaft
• Wing Engine – Yanmar 3GM 30 with 1” propeller shaft and Martec folding propeller – providing a redundant propulsion system rather than a second source of propulsion linked to the main shaft. 
• Wing engine control cables upgraded
• 2ea. 460 US gallon vinylester resin-laminated fiberglass fuel tanks (920 gals. total).  Extremely durable.  Each tank has a sight gauge and a manhole size access port in the top.
• Centerline supply tank (2 gals.), gravity fed through ¾” fuel lines from the main tanks, and serves as a manifold tank for the main engine, generator, and diesel heater.  The large diameter fuel supply line reduces the chance of debris in the fuel causing a blockage.  There is a water drain fitting at the low point in the tank.  The centerline tank is also fitted with a sight gauge allowing cumulative fuel consumption from main engine, generator, diesel heating system to be accurately calculated over a 15-minute period.
• Dry stack exhaust with a keel cooler eliminates a main engine raw water cooling pump and raw water contact with engine. The main engine exhausts well above deck in moving air, avoiding the “station wagon” effect of exhaust being drawn into the boat from aft
• Isolated wing engine fuel tank – (10 gals.) The tank is fitted with a sight gauge and is independent from the main fuel system. It is filled by using the fuel transfer system so that any fuel transferred to it is filtered through the Racor 900 transfer filter
• Racor duplex #75-900 fuel filters with vacuum gauge for main engine
