The Nordhavn 35 was designed and built primarily as a two-person yacht, with a convertible dinette for occasional overnight guests.  Her looks are striking – this is a purpose-built boat with an unquestionable pedigree.  At 35-feet she has the detail and attributes of much larger yachts.

The pilothouse is aft with the trawler mast placed just forward of the windscreen.  Enter from the cockpit through the commercial grade Diamond Sea/Glaze Dutch door into the salon/pilothouse.  The first impression is of warmth and solid craftsmanship. “Nordhavn Eagle” has an L- shaped dinette with fixed teak table to port. There is a settee to starboard with helm bench seat and helm station forward.  

The helm station has an impressive console, well-proportioned for a logical and legible electronics display.  The single lever engine control and bow thruster joystick is located right on the console to make running or maneuvering in close quarters a breeze.

A bookcase aft and to starboard in the pilothouse has a cover that hinges down to provide a stand-up chart table for laying out paper charts. The visibility from the pilothouse is exceptional.    

The U-shaped galley is just forward to port and down two steps from the pilothouse, making communication between the salon and galley easy.  The galley is equipped with a Seaward Deluxe propane stove and oven, an upright refrigerator with freezer, a GE Carousel microwave, double stainless steel sinks with Corian countertops, and abundant storage lockers.

The head with its separate stall shower is to starboard opposite the galley. The head itself is a Jabsco “Quiet Flush”.  The shower has a bi-fold door, seat, and single handle mixing valve.

The owner’s stateroom is forward of the galley.  It features an athwarthship queen bed with access on three sides, nightstands on both sides, lots of locker space, and a separate changing seat forward.  Access to the chain locker is forward of the changing seat.   

The interior is well-lit throughout.  There are hatches, windows and dorade vents for abundant light and ventilation.  The galley and owner’s stateroom are appointed with laminate bulkheads trimmed in teak.  The amount of storage in lockers and drawers throughout is extensive. 

The engine room is located below the salon/pilothouse floor and is accessed through a sound-insulated door with viewing port. The salon sole has a large hatch, which lifts up for all machinery access. 

Outside and aft is a large cockpit fully covered by the boat deck for weather protection. There is a molded-in swim platform along with a drop-down hinged swim ladder.  

For access to the foredeck and boat deck, there are side decks outboard of the pilothouse with high stainless steel rails.  The boat deck above the pilothouse is accessed via folding steps on the mast and is the perfect place for tender storage.  

The trawler mast and boom are designed to serve as a dinghy davit. The mast is also equipped with a crow’s nest for 360-degree unobstructed viewing.  The mast is hinged to tilt forward to reduce bridge clearance, or for overland shipment.

All of the stainless railing is 1.25″ diameter tubing, beautifully welded and polished.   The only exterior woodwork is a teak cap rail above the transom. 

The cockpit is completely covered by the boat deck overhang. Two cockpit doors – one aft and one to starboard – provide access to the swim platform. There is a large hatch in the cockpit sole for easy access to the lazarette.  Inside the lazarette there is access to the hydraulic steering and autopilot motor along with the hot water heater and house batteries.
