DESCRIPTION


***RECENT PRICE REDUCTION***

Large Flightless Birds, formerly known as Starfish, was commissioned by a Swiss engineer who was passionate about expedition cruising, scuba diving, and underwater photography. The Nordhavn 55 suited his family’s needs perfectly as the model has been proven to be a safe, comfortable, and reliable platform, easily handled by an owner-operator. When it came to outfitting, the owner chose significant upgrades which would best enable the yacht to perform as required. A few of these upgrades are mentioned below:

  • A FRP hardtop was ordered to cover the flybridge
  • A commercial-type hydraulic system using a PTO from the Lugger diesel wing engine was installed, powering both ABT 25 HP bow and stern thrusters, the anchor windlass, an anchor chain wash down, and an emergency crash bilge pump
  • A Bauer Capitano II/DV-E1 SCUBA dive compressor, 6.0 SCFM, 5000 PSIG was installed with four filling manifolds which are located in a cockpit locker. Six SCUBA tanks are mounted in the lazarette with four roll control diving tank holders placed next to the filling station in the cockpit. The factory extended the swim platform and added a commercial duty swing-down polished stainless steel swim ladder to better accommodate diving activities. Six diving wet suits, six dive tanks, three Sea Doo Explorer underwater diving scooters and a plethora of additional diving gear will remain aboard Large Flightless Birds for her next owner.
  • A hanging locker for drying wet suits was incorporated into the space beneath the stairway leading from the cockpit to the upper boat deck
  • Two 800 GPD Village watermakers have been installed with long range cruising in mind
  • A NVTi night vision camera was specified for safely navigating harbors or anchorages in poor visibility
  • A 12KW Northern Lights generator was added for redundancy to augment the standard 20KW Northern Lights generator
