Reach the four corners of the earth in less than a tankful - this is the advertising slogan for the Nordhavn 56. Originally designed at 50 feet, market feedback and continued development propelled the Nordhavn Motorsailer into a rugged 56-footer that will displace over 70,000 lbs. and carry 750 gallons of fuel. Powered by the proven Lugger 1066 T diesel engine, a top cruising speed of 9 knots will be possible. The rugged Lugger will drive a 36-inch four-bladed controllable pitch Hundested propeller and will offer unparalleled flexibility of operation. When conditions dictate, the propeller can be fully feathered to enhance sailing performance. Alternatively, the engine can be run at very low rpm and high propeller pitch combined with the drive and stabilizing force of the sails, which together will provide an astounding level of comfort, economy and capability. |
