Windflight is a one owner, exceptional Nordhavn 68. The boat was set up to be handled by just the two of them.
This Nordhavn 68 aft pilothouse is the most popular version, giving her a majestic profile on the exterior, and additional lower deck space in the interior. The walk-around layout eases handling of fenders and lines when docking. The full hydraulic system allows precise handling even in windy or tight conditions.
Windflight’s interior shows off the beautiful classic custom joinery the Ta Shing Yacht Yard in Taiwan, is known for. Custom furniture in the salon harmonizes with the interior joinery beautifully. Crown cut panel veneers are book matched throughout the interior.
The main engine is a Detroit Series 60 and the Wing engine is a John Deere-based Lugger. The Northern-Lights generator powers all of the yachts systems while cruising in remote locations.
The electronics and every system throughout the boat were designed with minimal integration in mind to minimize a malfunction in one component from affecting others. She has been outfitted with long range cruising in mind and the owners experience is evident throughout, designed after the 1000's of miles cruised by the current owners.
