The Nordship 38DS is a cleverly designed 38ft deck saloon cruising yacht from the renowned Danish boat yard. The quality in the structure and finish is right up there with the very best, and the layout is genius! A very spacious aft (owners) cabin and a raised deck saloon with panoramic views is just the start.
AVALA was built for her current owner and is an excellent example. She is the shallow keel version and has a superb 55HP Volvo Penta engine.
She is lying in Ipswich and ready to go!
