Nordship 43 DS
Nordship 43 DS for sale
Boat Details
The Danish Nordship yard is synonymous with handcrafted, high quality, ocean going cruising yachts. This one owner from new Nordship 43 is no exception and with her seaworthy hull form and keel, deep dual cockpit and strong efficient rig she is the perfect yacht for extended blue water adventures. This three cabin version is beautifully finished throughout and can comfortably sleep six across two double guest cabins and a superbly spacious owners cabin aft. With her deck saloon layout giving superb all round visibility at anchor or when on passage she can be helmed from the forward facing navigation station using her remote autopilot unit and secondary throttle control.
Her current owners have mostly cruised her on the West Coast of Scotland (with three seasons spent in Norway) and she has proven herself to be a highly capable and comfortable offshore passage maker. Benefitting from a copper coated hull she has been well maintained and significantly upgraded over the years with new standing rigging, new through hull fittings and a Saildrive seal replacement all in 2024.
Fully UK Tax paid and currently lying ashore at Inverness Marina in Scotland (9 miles from Inverness airport), Dreamcatcher represents a unique opportunity to purchase a fantastic example of this highly sought after and rare to the market cruising yacht.
