46 Nordhavn 2002, SALTY
Though the 46 Nordhavn’s design and name refer to the sturdy North Sea Scandinavian fishing boats, Nordhavn’s heritage is in the line of “rugged, elegant bluewater Mason sailboats” that PAE (Pacific Asian Enterprises) co-founder Jim Leishman designed and were built in Taiwan through the 1980s. The 46 Nordhavn originated as a school project for Jeff Leishman, naval architect and was launched in 1989 as the market shifted from sailboats to power, with increasing interest in long distance trawler yachts capable of ocean voyages. Nordhavn grew to establish a reputation for safe, comfortable, and economical trawlers capable of passage making anywhere in the world. SALTY is a full-displacement trawler with a reliable, economical 140hp Lugger diesel inboard, along with a new 2021 30hp Yanmar wing engine with folding prop. She features all the systems and electronics for worldwide voyages and enjoys the legendary status of a “modern classic”—a beautifully proportioned ocean-going yacht. Directional stability is enhanced with 4,800 lbs. ballast in the full-length keel and active NAIAD fin stabilizers for roll stability. Keel pipes provide engine cooling.
Some of the advantages of full displacement trawlers are their long-range capability; designed and engineered to go the distance with heavy, full displacement hulls and a relatively small diesel main engine allows more space for fuel onboard for greater range. They are more fuel efficient, since full displacement hulls don’t require the thrust needed to get up on plane. SALTY holds 1,000 gallons of fuel. Trawlers move slowly, but steadily and sturdily with ballasted keel and NAIADS, plowing through seas instead of nosing into wave troughs. The 46 Nordhavn is extremely seaworthy with a raised deck pilothouse and Portuguese bridge with a 3-sided walkway protected from green water sprays coming over the foredeck in heavy seas, by waist-high bulwarks. And trawlers are known for their spaciousness, not only for livability, but loads of storage for provisions—another advantage for long passages.

Every decade or so a yacht is designed that is extraordinarily successful by all measures. Lines and proportion are wonderfully pleasing, while at the same time highly functional. Aesthetic attraction is universal, performance is exemplary, and the ideal balance between subjective and objective qualities are achieved. One design having all these qualities is rare and it invariably becomes a classic by which others are measured. In the highly specialized world of oceangoing recreational power boats, the Nordhavn 46 has achieved legendary status of a modern day classic.
Not built to dock in a marina, the Nordhavn 46 can, and will, take you anywhere you wish to venture. Owner’s know their Nordhavn 46 can take them across the bay, down the coast, through the canal and across the stream. Several have taken the journey across oceans with little fanfare.
The Lugger single engine is considered to have an engine life expectancy of over 20,000 hours. Nordhavn has been cruising the world and there has never been a reported incident of a main engine failure causing serious concern. The new (2021) Yanmar wing engine has its own transmission, shaft, and folding propeller capable of pushing the boat at 3-4 knots. Adequate “get home” engine by any measure.
Do not miss this Nordhavn 46. She is ready to leave tomorrow for new adventures. No disappointments. Well cared for by a fastidious owner, his change of plans dictates the sale.
