New Model: Nordhavn 86

With the unparalleled success of the Nordhavn 76 with its sophisticated systems and construction features, Pacific Asian Enterprices design, engineering and manufacturing team was ready for a larger vessel and at 86 feet, this new Nordhavn represents a firm entry into the megayacht market. With a 24-foot beam, she is more than impressive at first sight, however her full load displacement of over 148,000 kgs allows her to compare with many vessels of bigger size. Building on the experience of hundreds of thousands of ocean crossing miles and applying a form follows function rule, the new offshore passage maker was designed with in an aft wheelhouse configuration, for maximum comfort and visibility at sea. This arrangement cannot be beat and with her long foredeck forward she can accommodate tenders up to 20 feet. Taking advantage of the hull volume, the new Nordhavn 86 offers accommodations that is nothing short of remarkable with the saloon and galley measuring 36 feet in length, a full beam master cabin consuming the whole forward section and an upper section of the vessel featruing a masterful combination of wheelhouse, captain’s cabin and sky lounge measuring almost 30 feet in length. In addition to the master stateroom and captain’s cabin, the vessel includes three guest staterooms, all with private ensuite heads and an additional crew cabin and head aft with an interior and exterior entrance. A laundry and utility room is also provided. The luxurious and functional interior is finished with fine hardwoods, beautiful moldings and raised panels combined with stone floors, granite counter tops, lighting and fixtures. Construction of the new 86 is conventional fiberglass, built to extremely heavy scantlings using beautiful constructed female molds for the entire hull and deck forming a flawless structure, with a highly detailed gelcoated finish, receiving a complete Awlgrip paint job prior to assembly. Designed and built to the latest international standards, each new Nordhavn 86 can be built to ABS certification with +A1 Yachting Service rating for the hull and AMS rating for machinery and installation as an option. Twin MTU Series 60 engines rated at 600 hp each spinning 48-inch propellers allow a transatlantic cruising speed of 12 knots. With over 26,000 litres of fuel aboard and throttled back to the 10 knot range, this new design can run roughly 4,000 miles before refueling. The advanced high-pressure, common rail, electronically injected engines are fitted with wet exhaust, commercial rated transmissions with large reduction gears and offer efficiency and reliability never before possible. An extensive list of standard machinery details gives little to add to the Nordhavn 86 except electronics and tenders.
