Attention Nordhavn Holiday Shoppers!
By Jeff Merrill
There is probably nothing more appropriate than finding the
keys to a brand new Nordhavn packaged in festive wrapping paper and presented
as a gift for the holidays. Forget all of those silly car commercials with their
big red bows – get serious and give the gift of a lifestyle. It’s the gift
of a lifetime!
For you last minute shoppers PAE has several wonderful
solutions for you to consider, here’s a quick rundown by geographic location of
boats right near each of our locations worldwide…
Europe:
There is a nice stable of used boats available including: 40 Orplid,
40 Open
Time, 46 Frog Kiss, 47 Albatross, 55 Shogun, 57 Beyond
Capricorn, 76 L’Adagio and 76 Silvia M. And in the UK
we have a lovely brand new 56’ Motorsailer available for a quick getaway, just
dust off the snow on the deck. You can reach the office by e-mail at europesales@nordhavn.com or contact our European brokers, Neil Russell and Philip Roach, directly for
more details:
It’s summer in Oz and and in addition to the 43 Venture, we
have a pristine Nordhavn57 brokerage boat named Cobalt
Blue. There’s a number of new models our Australian staff can show
you. Please contact Peter Devers, David Flynn or Don Lees for more information:
There are several brokerage listings to choose from
including: 43 Nola Girl, 47 Winkin’, 47 Acqua Dolce and the 50 Ocean
Bear. You can’t go wrong with any of them, but I’m going to highlight the Nordhavn
40 Commander.
Contact Dave Balfour or Ben Sprague, our knowledgeable guys in Rhode Island,
for more details.
Southeast:
Again, a lot to choose from – the 35 Searcher,
43 Mysterry,
46 Poco
a Poco, 46 Satchmo, 47 Tumbili, 57 Total Return and 64 Shearwater,
but PAE just took a Nordhavn 50 in on trade so this is probably the one Santa
Dan would want me to push, the immaculate Grey Goose. Specs are in the works.
Contact our sales team, Andy Hegley, Ted Robie and Ray Danet, in the southeast
for more details:
I guess I have a special preference for my pals up in the PNW so amongst all of
the listings including 35 Arctic Tern, 40 Endless Safari, 43 Posada,
56 Nordsail
One, and 76 Inside Passage III, I’ve got two great selections that Barbara
Lippert and Don Kohlmann can help you with.
Here at our Southern California office we’ve got several
great offerings in the brokerage side of things – the 43 Rogue
Manor, 43 Helen B, 46 Navigator, 55 Honu Kai, 55 Moana
Kuewa, 55 Phoenix, 55 Anam Cara and 62 Saumlaki. We also have been paying a lot of attention to our trade-in Motorsailer 56
– ready to go sailing right now!
The sales staff in Dana Point is Larry Gieselman, Paul
Hutton, Gerry Edwards, James Leishman, Eric Leishman and Jeff Merrill. Here’s
how to contact them:
For details on all these brokerage boats – as well as
ones not listed here – please visit our brokerage section.
If you need to wait for your bonus check to clear before you
can chase after one of the above then I suggest you look at the 2012 Nordhavn calendar – a compilation of stunning photos to remind you each month where you
should be.
Go to the Nordhavn
store to order the calendar, hats, jackets, shirts, etc. Do your shopping
now to get your shipment in time.
For the readers on your gift giving list I have two recently
published Nordhavn books to consider.
Life is a Cruise by Larry Rick – the log of
Done Dreamin’ about the exploits of this rugged Nordhavn 40’s tour of the Pacific.

Life is a Cruise
The Unexpected
Circumnavigation – Part two from Australia to Oman by Christi Grab. Review forthcoming, but
while you are filling up your shopping cart you might as well order book
one as well.

procrastinate. If you want to email Jeff try jeff.merrill@nordhavn.com and you
