The project of this 80EYF comes from a customer who will be on his third Nordhavn, and currently owns a 75EYF from 2009 and previously to this an N62. This Queensland, Australian owner was happy with the interior living quarters of the 75EYF, but was looking for some more outdoor space, especially the cockpit deck which will be extended in the 80EYF and will feature a California style cockpit deck. With the length extension of the 80EYF will also come a modification of the bulkheads to make engine room access easier. Leishman and to an extent all naval architects are not really keen to entertain buyers’ requests in moving bulkheads, but with the yacht being extended, this was possible to do. Besides adding space for outdoor entertaining, there will be other benefits to the new 80EYF. For start the 80EYF will resemble the new modern design of current Nordhavns which includes the frameless pilothouse windows. Additionally, the extended waterline length will equate to improved performance and seakeeping abilities, plus the lengthened prop shaft, a Y strut as featured on the N96s will be added to ensure the prop is spinning in smooth water, thus increasing efficiency.
