Designed with the sea and cruising in mind, the Nordhavn 41 profile is necessarily low resulting in a sleek, attractive look. Double walk-around side decks allow easy movement topside during docking and mooring.

An AB Navigo 10VS (10.5′) tender is included fitted with a 15HP Tohatsu outboard. A beautiful 800-lb. davit is standard.

After Nordhavn’s Chief of Design Jeff Leishman designed the preliminary hull lines, profile and general arrangement plan, PAE engineer Phil Arnold worked on the CE Category A compliance as well as the structural engineering. A Computational Fluid Dynamic test program was then completed, and the hull form was analyzed and modified to maximize efficiency and optimize running angles with precision. The study resulted in significant improvements in performance, all of which have been incorporated into the final hull lines.

When building the N41, the selection of the finest equipment was used to provide virtually everything needed for successful cruising.  

Tavie is fitted with two Kubota / Beta Marine 85 HP diesels that are low pressure turbo-charged but mechanically injected. These engines routinely run over 20,000 hours in generator applications and are free of the electronic controls required
by larger HP engines.  There is no CPU to fail, just a beautifully simple, mechanically injected, but very clean burning, diesel engine. Each engine is capable of pushing the yacht at cruising speed and with large reduction gears and propellers in the most desirable location possible. The propellers are protected by a deep and long keel and supported by robust V struts for maximum 
strength.



In order to really experience the amazing sea keeping qualities of a properly designed displacement hull, stabilizing is essential.


Tavie is equipped with ABT TRAC 220 stabilizers with 6-sq-ft. fins. With her beautiful hull, low and purposeful profile and 4,000 pounds of lead ballast in her keel, she will provide an amazingly stable ride in the roughest of conditions.
