If you're looking for excellent accommodations, the 55 will be difficult to beat. I don't have the numbers at hand, as I'm writing this on the flight home, but the Nordhavn 55 is way more spacious than a Nordhavn 50, more spacious than the Nordhavn 57, and more spacious than even the Nordhavn 62. It's an impressive trawler yacht, making it easy understand why the new 55 is one of the most successful Nordhavn new-model introductions: Despite its million-dollar price tag, more than 20 sold before the first one splashed, The 55 will have its first public showing at the Newport Beach boat show this week. Full disclosure: Circumnavigator, the magazine I produce for and about Nordhavn, is sponsored by Pacific Asian Enterprises, builder of the make. --Georgs -- Georgs Kolesnikovs Editor and Publisher, Circumnavigator http://www.circumnavigatormagazine.com
