Boattest.com Review
Overview
The Nordhavn 60 is a full displacement expedition cruiser designed primarily for owner-operators intending to cross oceans. Its design priorities emphasize safety, structural strength, and ample storage capacity to support extended periods at sea without resupply or landfall. This vessel is built to endure long passages with a focus on reliability and comfort.
Hull Construction and Structural Integrity
The hull of the Nordhavn 60 is constructed from fiberglass using an intensive hand-laid lamination process that takes six to eight weeks to complete. The hull is significantly reinforced, with thicknesses reaching up to six inches in the bow and keel areas. Rather than minimizing weight, the build incorporates substantial ballast—21,800 pounds in this model—to enhance stability and impart a solid, tank-like feel underway. The construction approach prioritizes durability suitable for ocean crossings.
Engine Room and Mechanical Systems
Access to the engine room is available both from the cockpit hatch and a companionway adjacent to the galley. The crew quarters are situated just outside the engine room, featuring a single berth with six feet one inch of headroom, storage, and a privacy curtain option. The engine room itself is meticulously organized and cooled by Dayton blowers and intakes. It houses a single 325 horsepower John Deere main engine connected to a straight shaft turning a five-bladed bronze propeller with line cutters. The propulsion system includes a PSS shaft seal with raw water cooling and a dry exhaust routed through the on-deck stack, avoiding saltwater exposure to the engine. The engine mounts are isolated to reduce vibration, and the exhaust is insulated for noise and heat management.
Fuel and Auxiliary Systems
Fuel capacity is substantial, with four main tanks totaling 2,250 gallons and a 31-gallon centerline aluminum day tank designed for gravity feed and precise consumption monitoring. The day tank features water sensors and a complex manifold system with Raycor filters and vacuum gauges for fuel management. A 110 horsepower John Deere wing engine provides independent, redundant propulsion with its own shaft and propeller, fuel, electrical, and control systems. The vessel includes two Northern Lights generators (20 kW main and 12 kW backup), hydraulic systems for thrusters, stabilizers, anchor windlass, and emergency bilge pumps, as well as a Seafire fire suppression system integrated with engine shutdown controls.
Lazarette and Mechanical Access
The lazarette is accessed through a watertight door and offers headroom between 3 feet 8 inches and 4 feet. It contains battery banks connected to inverters capable of powering all onboard electrical systems independently of the generators. The compartment also houses air chiller systems, steering gear with an emergency tiller, and well-organized wiring for ease of maintenance. Additional mechanical spaces include a water maker, hot water heater, water pumps, freshwater manifolds, gray water pump, and bow thruster mechanics, all arranged for accessibility and serviceability.
Pilot House and Navigation
The pilot house features a spacious layout with 6 feet 10 inches of headroom and fine wood finishes including cherry and ebony decking. The helm station is professionally arranged with redundant controls and instrumentation, including engine and wing engine controls, depth finder, satellite and intership phones, stabilizer controls, thruster sticks, autopilot, infrared camera, and multiple display screens. The steering is managed via a 30-inch destroyer wheel connected to a hydraulic system with dual rams. Seating includes adjustable Admiral series helm chairs, and large tempered glass windshields reduce glare. Additional amenities include a settee and ample storage.
Deck and Exterior Features
The Nordhavn 60 has an asymmetrical deck layout with a single 20-inch wide starboard side deck protected by 38-inch bulwarks and overhead coverage. Boarding gates and grab rails enhance safety during docking operations. The Portuguese Bridge features a wind control station with engine and thruster controls and leads to the foredeck, which is equipped with high bulwarks, stainless steel rails, and a robust ground tackle system including a Maxwell 3500 windlass, 400 feet of high tensile chain, and a polished ultra anchor. The flying bridge is accessed via stairs from the Portuguese Bridge and includes a helm station with Furuno displays, autopilot, stabilizer controls, and comfortable seating. The boat deck accommodates a 14-foot Novarina RIB and a twin V cat inflatable, both launched via a hydraulic davit system. Additional storage for kayaks and paddleboards is provided.
Performance and Handling
The Nordhavn 60 is designed for steady, long-distance cruising rather than speed. The main 325 horsepower engine achieves a top speed of approximately 9.8 knots at 2200 rpm, though typical cruising speeds are lower to maximize range and fuel efficiency. At 1800 rpm, the vessel cruises at 8.7 knots with a fuel burn of 8.7 gallons per hour, providing a range of 2,250 nautical miles. Slower speeds extend the range up to 6,000 nautical miles at 5.6 knots. The wing engine, rated at 110 horsepower, offers reliable backup propulsion with a top speed of 5.4 knots and a range exceeding 1,900 nautical miles at full throttle. Maneuvering in tight spaces is facilitated by thrusters powered by the wing engine, and the vessel's substantial weight contributes to a stable and controlled handling experience.
Conclusion
The Nordhavn 60 exemplifies a well-engineered expedition yacht built for serious ocean passages. Its robust construction, redundant systems, and thoughtful layout prioritize safety, reliability, and comfort for extended voyages. While not designed for speed, its efficient propulsion and extensive fuel capacity enable impressive range capabilities. The vessel's reputation is reinforced by numerous circumnavigations and proven performance in challenging conditions, making it a trusted choice for long-distance cruising.
