Nordic 44 1983

Introducing the 1983 Nordic 44 'Seraphina' – the ultimate cruising yacht designed for serious adventurers. If you're seeking a vessel that offers unparalleled safety for ocean crossings without sacrificing speed or racing capabilities, look no further. Crafted by the renowned naval architect Robert Perry, the Nordic 44 boasts a distinguished heritage, expertly merging robust blue-water construction with a sleek, high-performance hull. This yacht is celebrated for its speed, agility, and exceptional balance, allowing for comfortable passages of over 170 nautical miles in a day, while also being competitive enough to secure trophies in local club races. Built to the highest standards by Nordic Yachts in Bellingham, WA, she exemplifies exceptional American craftsmanship. Her blue-water capabilities are impressive, designed to thrive in heavy weather and support extended off-grid living. With a powerful hull shape and a remarkable 40% ballast-to-displacement ratio, she stands firm against the wind, reducing crew fatigue during long voyages. The deep fin keel and sturdy skeg-hung rudder ensure excellent tracking offshore and vital protection against debris. The hull is constructed with hand-laid solid fiberglass reinforced by a robust triaxial structural grid, featuring chemically and mechanically bonded bulkheads without structural liners. Below deck, 'Seraphina' offers true liveaboard comfort with a U-shaped sea galley, a proper forward-facing navigation station, and two private staterooms, each with its own head. The insulated interior prevents condensation, making it a cozy retreat. This yacht is not just about comfort; it’s built for speed. Robert Perry himself praised the Nordic 44 as "the most beautiful yacht we have had built to our designs." Its deep 7-foot draft and fine bow entry enable her to point close to the wind, cutting through chop where other cruisers falter. Equipped with a tall aluminum mast, dyneema rigging, and a hydraulic backstay, she allows for precise sail trimming and performs remarkably well in light winds. Key specifications include a length overall of 43.83 ft, a beam of 12.92 ft, and a displacement of 23,250 lbs. The powerful Universal M-50 engine provides 50 hp and is accompanied by a Maxprop 3-blade propeller. Accommodations include a well-appointed teak interior with extensive lighting, a modern refrigeration system, and an array of navigation instruments for seamless sailing. With a sailing rig that features a fully battened mainsail and multiple headsails, 'Seraphina' comes equipped for any challenge. Safety features abound, including life jackets, a MOB recovery system, and an EPIRB. The meticulous attention to detail and quality in every aspect of this yacht makes it an ideal choice for those who demand excellence on the water.
