GENERAL LAYOUT

Enter through the cockpit/aft Dutch door into the salon.  A hanging locker is immediately inside, to starboard, and the salon lays out forward connecting with the galley.  The multi-functional dining/coffee table and settee is to starboard, and the joiner-work that includes a built-in AV console with barrel seats on either side incorporating additional component storage to port.  A Samsung flat screen television with surround sound is located centerline facing forward.

 

The galley counter is extended to provide an area for eating while seated in the two bar chairs provided, all supplementing the upgraded appliance package.   

 

To starboard of the dining area is another Dutch door for easy galley and utility room access and stairs up to the pilothouse.  Forward of the pilothouse stairs is access to the utility room and engine room, as well as the hallway leading to the main electrical distribution panel, master stateroom, guest stateroom, and pantry.  

 

First in the hallway to port is the master stateroom with king bed and bath ensuite.  Just across the hall is an extra-large pantry with room for ship’s stores and cleaning items that is secured with a mesh cover for possible rough seas.

 

Forward of the pantry is the guest/day bath which can be joined to the forward guest stateroom by closing the hallway door just aft of the bath door, making this an ensuite bathroom.

 

Access to the guest stateroom is all the way forward.  The guest stateroom includes a centerline queen bed with access to each side, copious amounts of drawer & locker storage, and a changing seat on the starboard side.

 

A hatch in the forward cabin sole accesses the forward machinery space containing plumbing and mechanical systems, including hydraulic components, water makers, water heater, freshwater pumps and black/gray water pumps and other mechanical equipment.

 

Back to the stairway access down to the utility room, which is forward of the engine room, there’s a separate washer and dryer, an additional freezer, locker and drawer storage, a vanity with sink, and the oversized engine room door with a window. 

 

Returning up the steps to the salon, and immediately aft, are the steps up to the pilothouse.  The pilothouse of Piredmus provides the perfect gathering spot for the crew to sit on a raised settee, looking over a wide instrument console and two very comfortable Stidd helm chairs which all help create an extremely inviting operating environment.

Headroom:  6ʹ-10”

 

The asymmetrical interior layout takes full advantage of Piredmus’ 18-foot beam, while still providing enough space for a secure and spacious side-deck with a deep bulwark on the starboard side. 

 

Entering from the cockpit through the aft salon door you’ll notice the dual color vertical grain cherry wood.  The salon is furnished with an L-shaped dinette to starboard and two barrel chairs to port.  There is bound edge carpet with integral anti-skid backing over the cherry and ebony cabin sole.  Lots of natural light enters through five side and two aft windows of engineered glass.  The aft Dutch door also has upper and lower windows and a roll-out Phantom screen mounted in the frame.

Headroom:  6ʹ-10″  

The salon joins the galley at its forward end.  Piredmus features a rectangular galley.  The unique granite countertop has a stunning pattern that harmonizes with Piredmus’ interior motif.  The countertop is extended at bar height for dining space using the two appropriately designed cushioned bar stools.  There is a clear visual connection between the salon and galley for easy socializing.  The galley includes all the appliances necessary for efficient meal preparation.  A full-size upright refrigerator and freezer (with automatic ice maker), each with two drawers, along with an additional freezer in the utility room and drink refrigerator in the pilothouse provide plenty of cold storage for long passages.  The storage space in the galley is supplemented by a large pantry in the hallway.

 

The induction cooktop and electric oven eliminate the need for large propane tank storage, or the hunt for propane and compatible fill adapters in distant ports.  

 

Headroom:  6ʹ-8″

 

The owner’s stateroom has a bed measuring 80″x60″ with an upgraded custom hinged mattress and a large amount of storage distributed in lockers and drawers, finished in striking two-tone cherry woodwork. 

 

Two large rectangular port lights allow natural light in, and sliding drapes provide privacy.  There are reading lights on either side of the bed, and a full height dressing mirror on the inboard bulkhead.

 

An overhead hatch is fitted with Oceanair insect and shade screens.

 

Maretron touch screen display mounted at head of bed forward allows monitoring of ship’s systems while underway during rest periods.  

Owner’s Bath: 

Headroom:  6ʹ-10″

 

The bath ensuite to the stateroom includes a granite topped vanity with a stone vessel sink and Grohe fixtures.

 

The toilet is a Tecma “Silence Plus” freshwater flush version.  Each toilet has an integral macerator so that evacuating the black water tank is much easier and reduces the chance of clogging anywhere in the plumbing.  

 

The shower has 6ʹ-10″ headroom with an integrated fiberglass seat.

The pilothouse of Piredmus is the showpiece of this impeccable vessel providing a spacious gathering place with dining abilities in addition to being the operational center of the vessel with a modern, extensive, and elaborate electronics package allowing for comfortable, safe and enjoyable navigation of the vessel. Upgraded oversized windows offer unrestricted views in all directions.

 

Aft of the pilothouse working area is a large office with desk providing ample storage which can be converted to a queen bed by way of a slide-out support and mattress toppers.  This allows for either additional guest sleeping capacity or the ability for the captain to rest near the pilothouse during overnight passages.  There is a head with toilet, sink and mirror on the starboard side reducing the need to leave the pilothouse during operations.  A large full-height storage locker is centrally located for access from all areas of the pilothouse.

 

The settee can easily accommodate 3-4 crew members with quality site lines forward and to both sides while seated at the starburst pattern table.  The view is enhanced by a wide forward windscreen of engineered glass, of a rating that permitted the removal of the standard center mullion resulting in a greater unobstructed view through the front window.

 

A drink refrigerator sits under the starboard side section of the settee.

 

Twin Stidd helm chairs add the convenience of easy conversation and an extra pair of eyes on the water and the navigation instruments.  Chart plotter, radar, Maretron monitoring and cameras are displayed beautifully on four 19″ Hatteland X Series monitors with interchangeable connections to the vessel operational system providing flexibility to suit any operational style and includes the TV entertainment system if desired.  These main glass displays are supplemented by extensive systems displays on both the upper and lower dashes.  A separate speaker system can provide sound through a variety of inputs.

 

In addition to all lighting, computer screens and instrumentation being dimmable, a dimmable overhead red-light system allows eye-sensitive lighting during nighttime operations.

 

The upper and lower dash panels are mounted using continuous piano hinges to facilitate easy access to components behind them for any maintenance requirements. 

 

Redundancy is present for all the essential navigation, machinery, and operational data for safe navigation and efficient operation of Piredmus.  For a detailed description of the electronics complement, please see the heading “Navigation/Communication Electronics” below.

 

The pilothouse overhead panels are upholstered in matte black smooth leather finish, which along with the reverse slanted windscreens and instrument dimming capabilities, are designed to reduce light interference during nighttime passages.

 

A large overhead hatch in the pilothouse and two smaller hatches in the head and office are fitted with Oceanair insect and shade screens to provide fresh air.

 

Dutch doors on both sides of the pilothouse offer easy access to the upper deck and the wing operation stations for docking of the boat or access to other areas of the upper decks.  The sole is micro-grooved cherry and ebony wood covered by a bound edge carpet easily removed for cleaning.

 

Headroom:  6ʹ-10″

 

The head is located aft and to starboard, and is a great convenience while underway, and to accommodate guests onboard.

 

There are three exterior control stations supplementing the main control console in the pilothouse:  port and starboard “wing” stations just outside the pilothouse that allow outstanding sight lines along the full length of the boat, and are particularly useful when docking.  The aft station in the cockpit offers another option when reversing into a slip or Med-mooring.  All stations are equipped with thruster controls, main engine control, engine start and stop buttons, horn, an anchor windlass control and red night lighting.  When Med-mooring, the anchor chain can be paid out while backing toward the quay.  

 

The long foredeck easily handles the 14’ inflatable tender on Piredmus.  A Steelhead ES1500 davit (equipped with a mast light for nighttime operations) with a weight rating of 1500 lbs extends to easily launch the tender from either side of the foredeck.  Piredmus offers a Marquipt ladder for boarding the tender after launching.  Once launched, the tender mounting chocks can be removed to create a flush foredeck.  Two fiberglass kayaks are supported outside the foredeck rails on mounting brackets.

 

Having the pilothouse positioned aft produces a great sense of the boat’s position relative to maneuvering while docking in addition to reducing the vessel motion effect on the occupants in heavy seas.  

 

The stainless-steel framed Bimini cover surrounding the pilothouse has integrated awnings over the side doors and covering for the seating area aft of the pilothouse.  A large three burner, stainless steel BBQ on the aft pilothouse deck is sure to be a favorite place to grill and eat.  Access to the pilothouse roof for maintenance is up a ladder aft starboard through a zipped hatch in the awning. 

 

Piredmus is configured with a single main propulsion engine, and an auxiliary single “wing engine”.  This configuration has been standard on all Nordhavn models up to 68ʹ since the first Nordhavn 46 in 1988.  It has proven to be the most fuel efficient and very reliable configuration in the Nordhavn 40ʹ to 68ʹ size range over decades of long-range cruising millions of miles, including numerous trans-oceanic passages and circumnavigations. 

 

This arrangement is most often configured as keel-cooled with dry stack exhaust for the main engine.  Keel-cooling eliminates the need for a raw water pump with a rubber impeller.  Only a freshwater coolant mixture circulates through the cooling system without raw water being introduced to any engine component, and with it the possibility of ingesting various forms of debris.  The freshwater cooling system pump is metal vaned, and durable for many thousands of hours before replacement.

Piredmus’ navigation/communications complement is based upon a “best-of-breed” approach to component selection:

 

 

Piredmus is equipped with one of the most advanced Maretron monitoring systems for a vessel of its size.  An infinitely flexible system allows the operator to customize the displays for numerous monitoring scenarios to safely operate the vessel and provide the helmsman critical information with a quick glance due to the color coding of the data provided.  The current owner has designed two comprehensive primary viewing screens – one when the vessel is docked/anchored and the other when underway.  This is supplemented by numerous other detailed informational screens for the many onboard systems.  

 

The primary monitored components are as follows:
