Accommodation Description:
This vessel features the desired two double guest cabin layout. The owner’s stateroom is on the same level as the galley, and it is located amidships, where the motion is least objectionable during passages and while at anchor. A king sized, walk-around berth, two hanging lockers and a spacious head complete with a shower/bath tub rival the space of most home bedrooms. 

Forward is a spacious guest cabin with centre line double sized berth, huge hanging locker, office area and spacious private head with stall shower. Comfortable stairs with hand rails lead from both the saloon and the cabin foyer, up to the private Pilothouse cabin which features a double berth, ample storage lockers and an adjacent toilet with washbasin and mirror. 
Additional stateroom features include:

• Magnetic retaining latches on all doors in cabins and heads

• Oceanair low profile roller screen and blackout shades

• Custom pillowtop mattresses in master cabin, guest cabin and pilothouse cabin; specially sized with 1″ gap all around to allow for easy bed making

Saloon:
Long a Nordhavn feature, the main saloon opens directly to the aft cockpit, which is on the same level. This design effectively expands the living area from the inside to the outside, and the cockpit becomes an extension of the saloon, even in foul weather. 

The asymmetrical cabin design allows for a wider main saloon and galley and features a wide side deck on the starboard side. A large, L-shaped settee and beautifully finished teak table with starburst pattern are adjacent to two comfortable reading chairs. Two bar chairs face the pass-through counter top in the galley, which is two steps down from the saloon. 

Pilothouse:
The Nordhavn 55 shows her serious side in her commercial-like pilothouse. Located amidships for minimal motion at sea, it provides excellent, 360-degree visibility. A full-sized Stidd 500-XL PNF Ultraleather and chrome finish power operated helm chair puts the captain comfortably in command of his ship, with all electronics and controls within sight and reach. The overhead above the helm chair has been finished in black “Majilite’ to reduce night running glare. 

Aft of the teak wood varnished destroyer type helm chair, an L-shaped settee and teak table with starburst pattern, elevated for superior visibility, will seat three to four crew members. Beneath the settee are full-sized chart drawers and additional storage. 

But the most surprising feature of the N55’s pilothouse is its private stateroom complete with private head with washbasin and mirror/cabinet, and double-sized berth. Perfect for the off-watch crew on long passages, this area will also serve as a private guest stateroom. 

Flybridge:
The Nordhavn 55 has been designed to incorporate a flying bridge as standard. Located directly over the pilothouse, it provides excellent visibility and is the ideal place to run the vessel in fair weather. “MV Skope” is fitted with the optional hard top which allows for protection from the elements as well as for mounting the extensive array of electronic aerials and radar arrays. 
Additional flybridge features include:

• Comfortable table and fixed settee with below seat storage

• Massive storage area forward of helm position accessed by two hatches in console bulkhead

• Two upgraded Stidd manual helm chairs, model 500-200

Galley:
With full-sized home-style appliances, abundant storage cabinets and generous counter space, the galley will please the most demanding chef.

Basement:
The basement is a forward machinery space, accessed via a hatch in guest cabin companionway.

Engine Room:
With a waterline of slightly more than 50 feet, the Nordhavn 55 has an efficient hull speed of 9.5 knots and under full load conditions, a range of 1500 nautical miles. The proven N55 hull form, a refinement of Nordhavn’s MFD (Modified Full Displacement) design, features fuller aft sections that reduce “squatting” when running at higher speeds. Added benefits include reduced pitching motion and increased stability. 

Main propulsion is provided by a Lugger L1276A 340 hp diesel engine rated at continuous 1800 rpm. This engine turns a 3-inch A22 drive shaft via a 4:1 reduction transmission. This amount of reduction allows the prop to turn slowly, greatly reducing noise and vibration. A dry exhaust, a signature design element of most Nordhavns, eliminates the need for a large through-hull and raw water pump, via a proprietary Fernstrum grid cooler mounted in recess in hull underwater, hull greatly reducing the risk of failure at sea. 
Additional engine room features:

• Main Engine: Lugger L1276A. 2C/MG5091 – 340 hp @1800 continuous

General Remarks:
“MV Skope” is a New Zealand Maritime Registered Ship, with all New Zealand Import duties and taxes fully paid. 

To illustrate how well this model was embraced by the passage making fraternity, and to highlight the popularity of the timeless design, robust construction and exquisite finishes, PAE/Nordhavn took over a dozen orders for the Nordhavn 55 before hull number one was even launched. The N55 still remains one of the most successful models in the Nordhavn range. 

“MV Skope” is a unique and highly desirable vessel, a once in a lifetime opportunity, fully bunkered, and ready now to offer her new owner’s an exciting and adventurous life change in style and total comfort.
