Greetings to all,
Great blog!
Just a thought,
may be you could share your thoughts:
Basic specifications:
Size: 42'/47': BOA
of a 42' on 47' LOA hulls, (+/- 2')nothing is written in stone here
Aesthetic: Low windage
Solutions: either one-off from scratch ! or modify an existing design
or a less than ten years used boat from: Tennant, Crowther,
Grainger, Shuttleworth, Kelsall, Hughes, Given, Lidgard, Hill, Thompson,
etc., pssage makerpower cat on displacement hulls.
Other idea?
Your
comments are most welcomed, thank you for your time.
Kind regards, safe
winds.

Sinclair,
this is pretty close to your spec....http://mecat.com/power/powerspecs.htm
doesn't carry as much fuel as your spec but with 5+ nmpg <9 knots (http://mecat.com/power/powerspecs.htm), you'll get the range, we'll see if real world figues stack up, but that's measured data, not projections. might have to slow down when working in real seas. Not a proven Nordy, but their sailboats have an excellent reputation for build quality.
looks like there is a flybridge option, not sure if you spec'd smaller hp diesels would help range or not. maybe a bit of weight savings could be converted in increased fuel carriage. As some else suggested, with a water maker you could carry less water and more fuel.
