2001 Nordhavn 57

Highlights

• WIDE BODY (no walkway down Portside), more interior space in Salon.
• Larger diameter (8”) Bow thruster.
• High volume 2” 240V fire and emergency bilge pump. (Australian Survey requirement). Connected to a manifold for pumping individual bilge compartments.
• 2 each 17.5 kVA 240V 50Hz Onan generators.
• 24V x 4 MG Lithium battery 1200 amp hour installation. 28,800 watt hours total capacity. Coupled to an MG BMS controller.
• 2 each 5000w Victron Quattro Inverter/chargers.
• The Lithium house bank can be quickly charged from one or the other of the 17.5 kVA generators via the Quattro inverter/chargers. In addition, the main engine alternators supply power during the main engine run time. If running the generator, additional charge can be directed to the batteries via the shore-side Skylla 100 amp charger.
• Approx 2.25 kW Solbian solar panel installation. These panels are 2.5mm thick (less than 1/8”) and glued to the rigid biminis and can be walked on. 14 panels installed new October 2024.
• Custom-built solid Bimini tops over Fly Bridge, upper deck aft, and aft cockpit.
• Tender is stowed on an engineered aluminium structure over the aft deck. This clears the full fly-bridge area for entertaining and leisure.
• For multi-national shore power supply, a Victron Skylla battery charger will accept V, 50-60Hz to maintain the Lithium house bank, which supplies all the house requirements. Another benefit of this system is that it electrically isolates the vessel from shore power and prevents the threat of a ground fault onboard.
• Rocna 70kg anchor and Nordhavn 80kg as a spare. 125 meters (approx. 400’) of 1/2” chain.
• The SS and teak Aft swim platform adds 2’ of work/docking area. Easy access to/from the water at the stern of the vessel is made by the fold-down boarding ladder. The carbon fiber ‘passarelle’ has three separate anchor sockets for accessing various height docks.
• Both stacks are removable, with flanges installed so the boat can do ‘The Loop’. Already completed by a sister-ship.
• All lighting has been replaced with LED lamps. Turkey 2019.

• Generator start batteries are =2 each x 12v (New July 2024).

• Bow Thruster and main Anchor Winch share two ‘Optima Red’ units wired to output 24V DC.

• All the above batteries are also connected to dedicated, relevant-sized battery chargers. In the instance of the main engines and winch/thruster 24V combination, there is a dedicated 24V Mastervolt charger. For the generators, there is a 12V DC to DC charger. Power for these chargers is supplied by the 240V AC output from the ‘House’ charging system.
