OVERVIEW:

Patience  is hull #45, well into the Nordhavn 46 series — perhaps the most capable 46-foot passagemaking powerboat ever designed, as proven by the cumulative miles logged , including eight Nordhavn 46 circumnavigations. She has the well-proven Nordhavn dry stack exhaust system, producing one of the most reliable engine systems fitted on any yacht. 

Patience has the master-stateroom-forward layout.  Enter from the aft salon door into the salon with a straight settee to starboard and L-shaped dinette settee and table to port.  The galley counter is forward of the port settee and the steps down to the hallway and up to the pilothouse are to starboard.  The pilothouse has a steering station and instrument console befitting a passage making yacht.  There is a folding helm seat, settee, a dinette table, and a watch berth aft and above the settee.  The guest stateroom with over-and- under berths is at the bottom of the hallway steps to port.  Engine room access is through a comfortably sized door in the guest stateroom.  Across the hall from the guest stateroom are the aft and forward heads.  At the forward end of the hall is the master stateroom with a centerline bed and voluminous organized storage.

On deck, Patience is true to her purpose.  The cockpit is of moderate size with transom and starboard side boarding doors.  Up a ladder forward in the cockpit and through a Lewmar hatch provides access to the boat deck.  The bulwarks are high from the cockpit up the starboard side deck to the Portuguese bridge.  There is a door through the Portuguese bridge bulwark to the foredeck with its stainless steel safety rails and low bulwarks.  The forward ground tackle handling area is equipped with a Maxwell 3500 vertical windlass, anchor washdown, stout mooring cleats and hawse pipes aft of the double anchor roller.  There are deck drains and freeing ports placed appropriately to quickly purge any solid water shipped aboard.

She has paravane stabilizers providing simple, effective stabilization when needed, and increased fuel efficiency when stowed.  A deployment time of approximately 5 minutes, and a retrieval time of 5 minutes. Often, the deployment of the booms alone will provide enough inertia to dampen moderate roll.  An added benefit of the paravane system is that it is very effective at anchor.

Patience is being offered for sale by the original owners who have complete records of her history.  She has 6200-plus hours on the main engine, which is a beneficial number relative to her age, especially for a Lugger engine which typically runs 20,000-30,000 hours before a major overhaul

She also has a 40,000 btu Webasto hydronic diesel heating system which was renewed in 2009.

The bottom was painted in August of 2011.

Owner’s Comments:

“We worked with PAE from the very beginning of the construction planning.  During that process we designed in access to every available space to maximize storage. As we prepared to put her on the market, the volume of goods removed nearly filled one room in our condo, affirming out design success. She has been a home to us, we have loved her and she has carried us and served us well for many sea miles from Mexico to Alaska. Along the way, we have cared for her, observed regular maintenance intervals, and replaced and upgraded equipment during that time.  It is very important to us that she have a good home.”  

Salon:  

There is an L-shaped dinette settee and table to port, convertible for dining, coffee or cocktails.  A long longitudinal settee to starboard makes a perfect sea berth.  The settee cushions are upholstered with leather, and are beautifully broken in with many years of durable service to go.

• 6ea. opening windows

• Dinette table has a fold out leaf and hi-lo pedestal with slide for coffee table conversion.

• Teak and spruce floor

• Custom bound edge area carpet with sound attenuating pad

• Leather settee upholstery

• Window blinds

• Ship’s clock

• Sony TV

• Bose speakers

Galley:

The galley is best described as perfectly functional at the dock or at sea.  A galley can be too small, but it can also be too large.  This one is just right -

• Double stainless steel sink with deep bowls

• Grohe faucet with removable crane/sprayer

• Jenn-air four-burner electric cooktop

• Sub-Zero below-counter refrigerator

• Sub-Zero below-counter freezer

• GE Profile microwave

• Frigidare dish washer

• GE trash compactor

• Seagull water purifier spigot mounted at galley sink

• Corian counter tops

• Teak flooring

• Custom bound edge area carpet

• Overhead locker storage

• Drawer storage

• Full louvers on locker doors

Pilothouse

As it is with much of the interior accommodation, the pilothouse on the Nordhavn 46 seems to come from a much larger yacht and is designed for extended periods of operation.  There is plenty of room for instrument placement on the console, and Patience’s electronics complement makes good use of it.  The forward windscreen has reverse rake for interior light glare reduction and water shedding. 

• Bulkhead mount stainless steel destroyer wheel covered in hide

• Bow thruster control

• Drinks refrigerator port side

• Settee with dinette table –  leather upholstery

• Pilothouse watch berth aft of settee with leather upholstered cushion

• Teak and spruce floor

• Side door access to deck port and starboard

• Ritchie Steering compass

• Clock and Barometer

• Wood flip-up padded helm seat

• 12-volt windscreen defogging fans

• Ship’s electrical distribution panel

• Stereo speakers

• Bound edge carpets

• Overhead vent hatches

Master stateroom

The master stateroom is at the forward end of the hallway.  It is comfortably spacious and loaded with locker and drawer storage space.  The owners specified that the standard vanity area aft in the cabin be built with additional drawer storage space instead.  The resulting supplementary storage volume is one more feature that makes Patience so attractive as a permanent live aboard as well as a long passage maker.  

• Centerline bed with access to stowage space beneath

• Custom Handcraft Mattress Company (HMC) mattress

• Hanging large hanging locker to starboard

• Other storage lockers with full louvered doors

• Standard vanity seating area is all drawer space

• Changing seat to port with storage below – leather upholstered

• Teak planked hull ceilings

• Vanity mirror

• Bound edge carpets

• Overhead hatches

• Opening ports port and starboard

• Book shelf space

• Dorade vent

• DC cabin fan

Guest Stateroom

A notable feature of the master-stateroom-forward layout is great engine room access through the guest stateroom.  The engine room door is very close to the stateroom entrance (please see photo).  The guest stateroom itself is very utilitarian living space that includes extendable width over-and-under berths, large hanging locker, and a work desk with book shelves above. 

• Over-and-under berths

• Work desk with book shelves above

• 2ea. opening ports with insect screens

• Engine room access through an insulated door

• Large hanging locker

• Drawer storage below berths

• Bound edge carpet

Heads

The forward and aft heads are to starboard in the hallway between the salon and the master stateroom.  The head and shower configuration on Patience  is a very practical one.  There is a common shower stall between the two heads.  It allows for more room in each head.  The shower has a seat for convenience, and a very deep pan to handle sloshing underway.  The shower has an opening port and stowage locker as well.

The toilets are freshwater flush. 

Each head has:

• Corian counter tops

• Grohe sink fixtures

• Exhaust fan

• Door for access to common shower

• Vanity mirror and lockers

• Drawer stowage

• Freshwater water foot pump and spigot in addition to pressure water fixtures

• Opening port

• Raritan fresh water flush toilets (new in 2005)

Hallway

• Splendide 2000S combination washer/dryer (new in 2005)

• Teak and spruce floor

• Bound edge carpet

• Steps are hinged to provide storage under

Engines/Mechanical and Fuel system:.

The John Deere based Lugger engine and its well-engineered peripheral systems, including the dry stack exhaust, provide the capability and confidence to make long passages.  The dry stack exhaust configuration eliminates the raw water pump and its rubber impeller used with wet-exhaust systems.  The dry stack is a complete closed cooling system that circulates the fresh water/antifreeze mixture out through a keel cooler on the bottom of the boat, and back to the engine again. It’s expensive to install vs. a wet exhaust system, and is found primarily on commercial boats. The closed cooling system pump has metal vanes and runs for many thousands of hours.  The dry stack keel-cooled system allows running through eel grass, plastic, and other debris without affecting the system cooling capacity.  A wet exhaust system can ingest debris, blocking the cooling flow, or damaging the impeller of the raw water pump.

• Main Engine (6204 hrs) – Lugger L-668D, 140hp w/Twin Disc 3.9:1 transmission and 2” propeller shaft. 

• Wing Engine  – Yanmar 3YM 30 with 1” propeller shaft and Martec folding propeller – providing an independent, redundant propulsion system rather than a second source of propulsion linked to the main shaft. 

• Wing engine control is in pilothouse

• 1000 Gal. Fuel capacity. Each tank has a sight gauge

• 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

• Fuel transfer system with in-line Racor 900 filter is used for moving fuel from one tank to the other for trim, or for filtering contaminants.
