Joseph Atnip - 5 years ago

I was working for a company I can't really talk about what exactly I did but I worked for really wealthy clientele and I was out this gentleman's house and his property manager was talking to me and just happened to say that he was having the owners boat refueled he spent $120,000 on fuel more than I spent on my house now this was at the peak of the fuel crisis and the housing market crash back in like 2008 2009 back on fuel was getting close to $5 a gallon but still it's ridiculous

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Joseph Atnip fuel is a big one for sure, diesel is always a slightly easier pill to swallow. We remember the days back in 2006-2010 when gas was projected to hit $7-8/gallon which had us both freaked out. Having a longe range trawler makes the fuel thing a lot less stressful though.

oldmal60 - 5 years ago

Love your boat. Nice layout. Thank you.

Peter Vestergren - 5 years ago

Super relaxed and informative tour of your lovely yacht! And sooo clean and tidy (in spite of two dogs...) which always impresses us. Just one question - Do you miss a fly bridge a lot? Or not at all? Thank's for the tour, stay well and fair winds!!!

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

I don't miss having the flybridge although our weather in the PNW doesn't support using one much. I have heard even when in areas of warmth and sun that most owners don't use a fly bridge nearly as much as intended. Some positives to not having one would be a lower center of gravity, less windage, and less electronics/soft goods in the elements needing additional maintenance and care. I'm sure at times they are quite nice, but you can always find outdoor places to sit and enjoy the boat while underway with wireless autopilot remote and charting apps on a wireless device, so some improvising makes you feel like you have a bridge.

M W - 5 years ago

How many hours per week do you spend cleaning it? It is immaculate, and 14 years old? looks brand new.

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

M W thanks for the kind words! Shawn spends 1-2 hours every week washing the exterior and maybe a combined 30-60 minutes doing things on the interior. We’re both pretty tidy people and like to make sure to vacuum and dust every day so the dog hair doesn’t overtake the boat. This is our life so we put a lot of love and care into it!

Fred Haeger - 5 years ago

really enjoy your videos....thanks so much for showing us everything....safe sailing!!

Chris McGann - 5 years ago

How far down into the hull does the mast go? Also how is it secured or grounded?

asimsparks - 5 years ago

This is not a sailboat mast, hence does not need to go down the hull.

pchansen100 - 5 years ago

Perfect boat! You guys do a great job! I’ve wanted a N43 for years and this just rekindled my desire!!

Jeff Slaven - 5 years ago

What a fabulous craft! Even down to the little office area!
Edit vids there, or use a larger space for that?

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Jeff Slaven thanks for the nice words! We usually use the office as our gear station (camera charging, ready to go, etc) and maybe actual business work for Shawn. Editing usually takes place belly down on the floor behind pilot chair since it’s more comfy there during long stretches of editing.

Richard Ball - 5 years ago

What's her cruising speed/range? 1200 gallons of fuel, in a trawler... I'm guessing North of 750 Nautical Miles @ 8 knots?

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

The range is approximately 2500 - 4000 nautical miles depending on the speed ranging from 8.0 - 5.5 knots respectively. Thanks for watching!

Can you tell us more about the Electronics?
What for Charts you use. Was that a Dopplerradar what u used on your Canadatrip?
Thats a cool life on a Trawler!

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

For redundancy and comparison we use 2 charting softwares. Our Simrad MFD's display charts from Navionics and our PC runs Rosepoint Coastal Explorer which charts can be purchased through their integrated store. The boat has Simrad radar for displaying navigational hazards in times of poor visibility but we use several weather websites for planning travel conditions - these sites are windy, predict wind, environment Canada, NOAA, etc.

R L - 5 years ago

Does your mast fold? What is your bridge clearance? Great video!!

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

No our mast does not fold. Some owners have made modifications to make the boat loop capable. Our boat has an air draft of 35'

Rio Secco - 5 years ago

Thank you for the tour of your beautiful boat. One quick question. In your opinion what would be the maximum size boat for an owner-operator?

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Hard question to answer. It really depends on budget, the size of family or number of guest you plan you plan to cruise with, amount of time you plan to spend aboard, and how you intend to use the boat. Every boat and owners scenario is different and there's no right answer.

steven cunningham - 5 years ago

Tugboat capt here, in the Caribbean but I live on Whidbey Island. That’s a lot of boat in a compact package, and evidently comfortable. Very nice boat! Enjoy, and stay safe.

wellcraft19 - 5 years ago

Nordhavn is a true top notch builder. Both when it comes to the initial design, but also the execution/construction and installation of all systems. Not cheap (I guess no boat is cheap), but they make boats that are true passage makers as well as excellent liveaboards, making them worth every cent.

Barry Rich - 5 years ago

Thank you for this amazing video! You should send this as a pitch to yacht brokers on how to better film a tour.

Did you guys look at larger or smaller vessels, and if so, would you mind sharing why you chose this particular length? I'm just curious to hear how you guys narrowed it down to this vessel. There are so many CHOICES out there! Thanks for your time and thanks again for the awesome tour of your vessel!

Barry Rich - 5 years ago

MV Freedom That's good to know! I'm okay with only two staterooms, but my other half wants to be able to sleep 8. I want the boat to GET AWAY from large groups of people. Thanks for responding so quickly! Have a great day!

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Austin Barry we came from a 40’ Searay and did look at many boats from 40-50”. For the Nordhavn the 43” was the price range that was most affordable and still had great space for the two of us and the dog. Plus, the longer the boat the more maintenance, the more slip fees you’ll pay, the more everything so this was just right. For long range cruising and for the amount of time we spend on the boat this one is perfect. Comfy, plenty of storage, two staterooms, etc..

Mr. FE Dalmatia - 5 years ago

Only one steering and control

Les Nicholas - 5 years ago

What a stunning boat,thanks for the brilliant tour.the room in your 43 is incredible,my boat is 57ft and I don't have third of your space but it is only a 6ft 10inch wide,built for cruising British canal and river's with tidal crossing's occasionally.I have a 40hp Yanmar which has done 3300hrs and never missed a beat.Thanks again for the brilliant tour.

This was probably the best tour, and boat that I've ever seen! I'm thinking about getting a boat when I'm older. If you don't mind me asking, How much was the boat? And also where is does the exhaust exit? Great video and I definitely subscribed!

rnordquest - 5 years ago

Exhaust goes out and up the dry stack, sort of like a tractor.

Brian Michael - 5 years ago

Great Boat Tour I am curious. Since she is an expedition yacht... What is her range?

I really love the boats Nordhavn puts out.

Max Richards - 5 years ago

Where do the dogs use the bathroom during long passages? Or do you leave them at home?

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Max Richards we always have them with us as they are our kids! So far the longest is a bit over 10 hours and they were fine but we plan to get them p patch trained soon since anything over 8 hours isn’t good for any of us!

Michael Jackson - 5 years ago

When you guys go away from the boat for extended periods of time, what is the protocol for electrical power? Freezers, etc have to be powered but what if shore power fails, etc? Thank you! Love your videos and thanks for answering questions!

rnordquest - 5 years ago

@Michael There are systems that will send you a text if the power fails, bilge pump comes on, etc. I have a $20 camera at home where I can watch a live feed. You could tune in anytime and see what's going on. You can also rig a light to come on when power goes off so the marina can investigate.

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Michael Jackson we honestly never leave it for extended periods so we fortunately haven’t dealt with this. The batteries would get drained and lots of stuff would be in trouble until things got back up and running.

Fox RodX275 - 5 years ago

Does you boat have a stabilizer? Just doing a little research and wondering if it’s an option or do all Nordhavn have them standard.

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Yes, we have ABT Trac fins stabilizers. Technically I think it's an option, but I don't think you'll find a Nordhavn without some form of stabilization. They either use active fin, manual paravanes, or both for redundancy. The stabilizers are amazing and I personally wouldn't buy a full displacement boat without them.

Biggun 54 - 5 years ago

David Lubs - 5 years ago

Hi, we have boated out of Racine WI since 2004 and wonder if we have crossed paths? Would love to hear about your Lake Michigan experience. We have sold our Formula 34PC and are getting a 45 trawler built (not a Nordy). We really would like to learn about your transition from the speed of Orca to the trawler lifestyle. We are quite concerned about no longer being able to go from Racine to Washington Island in a day. Cruising at 7 kts will be a world of change. How has the change been for you? Keep up the good work!

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Thanks for the comment! We boated in WI from 2005 until we moved to Seattle in 2014 so it's likely our paths crossed. We went from a 24' Glastron "Tide the Knot" to a 36' Carver "Gigi II" to our 40' Searay "Orca (purchased in Seattle) to now our dream boat. Living out in the PNW we honestly love the trawler speed and many times with the Orca went trawler speeds to avoid hitting all of the logs and debris that's common in Puget Sound. While our travel time has more than doubled, we just leave earlier in the morning, pay more attention to tides and/or plan more time for trips if work allows. The time truly flies by when you can relax in a stabilized boat (that's KEY), listen to tunes/podcasts, watch movies or work in the galley to make use of time. Our 10+ hour trips have NEVER felt long even in bad conditions because the Nordhavn is such a beast of a vessel. For Lake Michigan, however, those waters were much more treacherous than anything we've experienced out here since the lake can become like a toilet bowl in high winds. You'll definitely have to plan more around weather and wind than we do, but I'm sure you'll be fine. We always enjoyed weekends in Racine, especially this great italian restaurant a few blocks up! Our main destinations in the summer were Door County and the Western shores of Northern Michigan when a crossing was possible. So many great places, it's just a shame the season is short. Thus, why we made the move out here! Enjoy your new boat and happy boating!

Bill Van Den Ouden - 5 years ago

So I guess the key thing is to get it vented from what you're saying that makes sense and I do appreciate such an awesome responsible fast your videos are unbelievable thank you so much Vegas bill peace enjoy your boat

Bill Van Den Ouden - 5 years ago

I am sorry that I've just got to see your video being two months late I did like all the ice cream in the freezers it almost look like mine freezer this was an awesome walkthrough and you have an awesome boat nordhavn is the best well thought-out I was wondering how do you like your washer dryer combo does it work well I am looking at a 47 or 50 North Haven some have washer dryer some have the combo like you have I was just wondering if you ever got to use it and what your thoughts were good luck with your boat and I hope you travel the world Vegas bill peace

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Hi Bill. Yes we do like our ice cream. Regarding our washer/dryer, we have a Splendide WD2100XC with vented dryer. The combo unit works great and can handle a decent sized load. The time on average to wash and dry takes about 2.5 hours. Certainly if space allowed separate units would be nice, but it sure is nice to have the capability to do laundry on the boat without needing to bring items home or to a laundromat.

Michael Jackson - 5 years ago

How tall are you? I’m 6’4”, was wondering how the feelings of crampiness is or isn’t! Thank you!

Michael Jackson - 5 years ago

rnordquest thank you!

rnordquest - 5 years ago

@Michael Jackson I'm the same height and live about 60 mi south. The cramp you see is a blessing when seas pick up. The tighter it is, the easier it is to put your hands on something close by and not be tossed about. Increase space, decrease storage. She will adjust. I lived in the cab of a tractor trailer for 2 yrs. It doesn't take long to adjust to the space you have.

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Hi Michael. I'm 6'3" and don't feel cramped at all. The boat offers good headroom throughout and the berth in the master stateroom is about 6'3" in length so I don't feel my feet are hanging over. The only place where I notice a height challenge would be the height of the pilothouse windows. To see completly out to the horizon while standing I need to slouch slightly, not a problem when seated in the pilothouse, just when standing.

drmoynihan - 5 years ago

Thank you for this excellent personal tour of your beautiful Nordhavn. Any crazy plans to sail across the ocean and join us for a visit in the West side of the Gulf of Thailand?

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Thanks for the nice comment! And yes of course Thailand is on Mrs. Cap's bucket list and we hope to get there by 2022-2023 latest. We've heard it's a magical destination that we cannot wait to arrive at!

O K - 5 years ago

Can u single hand this fairy easily? Docking?

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Great question. Single handing around a dock is a bit difficult, mostly because of the distance one needs to run from the pilot house to the boarding doors. I think this could be made easier if the boat had an installed stern thruster and if the thrusters then had a wireless remote.

So, possible and made easier if we did some upgrades to the thruster/electronics.

Wishfull ThinkN - 5 years ago

Excellent tour..the Nordhavn 43 is a wonderful design in a trawler of her size..they are absolute GEMS!

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Thank you Paul. It's a great boat indeed and we're fortunate to have her.

Rich Pickard - 5 years ago

What a great video detailing a great boat! Just wondering what kind of fuel mileage do you get with that vessel?

MV Freedom - 5 years ago

Hi Rich. The fuel capacity of the 43 is 1250 gallons which translates to a range of approximately 2500 - 4000 nautical miles depending on the speed ranging from 8.5 - 5.5 knots respectively... So about 2-3NM miles per gallon. Thanks for watching!

Everyone - 5 years ago

Beautiful boat. A lot of thought went into the design. I have zero experience with boats so the door to the engine room being in the master berth is odd to me but i can understand why that would be potentially. Haha

Bob Finkenbiner - 6 years ago

without a doubt, that was the best "boat tour" of a nordy.... informative, great pace, excellent camera work (steady, slow scans) and the overall a pleasure. you could discuss what elements you like about this boat, versus the big brother 55 or the smaller versions. we've looked at the 55 and think its a bit over the top for just two of us, but worry the 43 may be a bit tight. thoughts?

Bob Finkenbiner - 6 years ago

@MV Freedom i know that slip fee, diver and even insurance charge by the foot, and all those items add up. a 20% premium in size has big budget consequences on a monthly basis. The 55 seemed like a nice enough boat, but the there is some interesting message board conversations regarding a 35 foot coastal cruiser with all the Nordhavn quality, without the budget busting expenses. I just can't mentally wrap my head about being "boat poor", having done the same once with a house and learning that bigger isn't always what it's cracked up to. Thanks for sharing your vessel, it's a fantastic boat.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Thanks for the kind comments. We love the 55 but simply can afford $$. The 47 is also great, similar layout to the 43 with slightly more space in each area. Frankly we find the 43' to have enough space for the 2. Thanks for watching!

I was never nut about the Trawler style or layout. However, efficient for long distance cruising and safe. This is a lot of boat for a 43 footer. I like. Thanks.

c5back9 - 5 years ago

Yumpin Yiminy: Bingo on safety and long range... there used to be a Nordhaven owners club trans Atlantic crossing that involved a couple of dozen boats. I think it was supposed to be an annual event organized by Nordhaven. Several 43s have made the crossing when outfitted with extra bladder tanks for the additional fuel needed to complete the long distance hops between ports (where more fuel can be had). The fact that Nordhaven would sponsor such an event is an indicator of how confident they are about their product.

Barry Rich - 5 years ago

LegendLength It's for the paravane stabilizer system while underway. Newer vessels have the automated stabilizer in the engine room. It just makes for a more comfortable cruise, especially in open water.

William Vosburg - 6 years ago

Love your boat and videos, do you guys deploy your paravanes on long voyages and is it a hassle?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

William Vosburg no we don’t have paravanes. Our stabilization are active fins beneath the hull. We have flopper stoppers we can deploy at anchor to minimize rolling but haven’t had to use it yet.

fiftyfishbottom - 6 years ago

Nice job of outfitting. How nice to have someone so attractive with which to cruise. I did 12k nm single-handed over 3 years, Atlantic Coast and Bahamas. Tour of vessel well done, you obviously have knowledge of subject. Did I see a Bruce anchor, big plus to me toward credibility. Would like to see of your cruising.

WOW! First, you guys are a great looking young couple! Second, Congratulations on owning a beautiful Nordhavn trawler. My question is, if you haven't already, are you going to shoot video of you taking the boat out to sea? Oh, I have to make additional comments, but very tasteful! To the young gentleman, you made a fantastic choice with your beautiful young lady. I noticed in the video her toenails were well painted, and her bunions were perfectly normal with good looking feet. (so many young women today with bunion problems) I would love to see this gorgeous trawler in the open sea. Thank you again and God Bless!!!...OPPPS! I just subscribed and see you have taken the trawler out, I am going to watch... Woohoo!

Have a couple of questions:: what’s the fuel burn and what kind of range can you get? P/S. LOVE THE BOAT!! Beautiful!!!!

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Thank you for watching. The range of the 43 is approximately 2500 - 4000 nautical miles depending on the speed ranging from 8.5 - 5.5 knots respectively.

Emery Viazanko - 6 years ago

Nice tour for a great model. Nordhavn should at least buy you a tank of fuel for the thorough tour and explanations.

James Hansen - 6 years ago

Very nice video. Like the previous poster your calm and welcoming time was nice to hear. I would like a video on what it is like getting the boat up and running. Also what has been your longest trip?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Thanks for watching. Good suggestion, we'll cover operation in a future video. Our longest trip in the Nordhavn has been our 2018 summer trip to western Vancouver Island; we covered about 500 nautical miles.

Alan Robbins - 6 years ago

Beautiful boat. When in the pilothouse, how on earth do you back it out of a slip? Do you have a backup camera?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

We do have a back-up camera, although mainly rely on good communication between captain and first mate using Eartec headsets.

CMallory - 6 years ago

Beautiful Vessel. Time to take her around the world.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Agreed. Hope to do some long range cruising in our future.

Really nice boat, good job with the tour.

Captain Jeff Morris - 6 years ago

This is the best walk thru video of a Nordhavn or just about any trawler I've seen! Your video was so good and detailed it made my mind race and generated more questions. How tall are you? You look to big to fit in the master bed....? But you made the engine compartment look spacious..... What model and class AIS is that? How much length of chain do you hold in your locker? What size tender do you carry? I love that you can drop your tender port or starboard. I have run multiple yachts in 100' range that don't give that freedom (pun intended). Thank you BOTH for the great video! Just tapped subscribe! Also as a professional yacht captain I must say your trawler looked in very good shape. I watch many brokerage videos where brokers are extolling about the features of some boat and how well its maintained while they are standing in front of filthy windows, dirty decks, or rusty fittings. M/V Freedom looks well cared for in this captain's opinion. I don't know what your plans are, but looking thru your vids and as new subscriber if you're headed south I have done Friday Harbor to La Paz Mexico, hope you're gonna do some traveling from Seattle......

Captain Jeff Morris - 6 years ago

@MV Freedom Thank you for the response! 400' of chain is awesome - WOW! Is your music during the car portion and other parts of the video a version of "It feels good to be a Gangsta" by the Gheto Boys? That song was a hit from a favorite movie of mine "Office Space"

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Thank you for the kind note. I'm 6'3" and the master berth is about exactly the same length, so as long as i don't sleep like a complete pencil I'm ok. The AIS is a class B unit from Simrad, model AI50, I believe is now a discontinued model. Our tender is an AVON RIB and is 11'2" length and is a perfect fit if the tender is stored across the beam of the Nordhavn 43, any larger would likely require storing the tender parallel to the boat and possibly hanging some of the tender off the aft end of the boat deck. Regarding the chain locker, the locker is huge! We have 400' of all chain on our anchor and could easily double or triple that amount. The anchor roller and locker is set-up so you could have 2 anchors configured. Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments!

Alex Wray - 6 years ago

Shawn, did you by chance serve in the Navy? Possibly submarines?

Alex Wray - 6 years ago

Haha well it’s a pleasure to serve. I pride myself on being able to pick out fellow submariners out of a crowd. This time I was wrong.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

No. If you have, thank you for your service.

Robert - 6 years ago

No water maker?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Yes, we do have a water maker in our cockpit lazarette. We have a DC model that makes 150 gallons per day.

wjha NN - 6 years ago

Great video - thank you for that.
I'm a little wondering: - You are in Seattle, it is November. I would expect snow and ice soon. Shoudn't be a problem in your boat - but when I look around, all the sailboats are still fully equipped for sailing. That seems a little strange? Or am I wrong about your climate?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

We have a temperate climate that is moderated by the Pacific and Puget sound. We rarely see temperatures that dip below freezing levels for extended periods of time... usually just a for few hours during the winter evenings. Our winters are cool, gray and wet, but snow typically only flies in the higher elevations. Summers in the Pacific Northwest are mild and dry during July, August & September. Boating can be enjoyed year round here, especially when you have the protection of a warm and dry pilothouse during the winter season.

Grayland - 6 years ago

She is beautiful, and the boat too... Really enjoyed the tour. I true dream boat.
Congrats.

t vaczy - 6 years ago

Nice video. I enjoyed your show and tell style. It would be interesting to hear you discuss how you decided to choose this boat over the other boats you obviously looked at. Were you particularly attracted to Nordhavn? Were there other brands that you found appealing? What surprises (good and perhaps not so good) have you run into since becoming owners? Thanks for the time you spent making the video.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Great suggestions... thank you! We'll look to answer these questions in a future video.

Don Johnston - 6 years ago

spinnaker5514 - 6 years ago

Now I know what I want for Christmas...or what I'll buy if I hit the lottery! LOL! What a beautiful & perfect boat! So well thought out, it seems like no space was wasted any where yet it all looks so beautiful. Great choice!I recently purchased a 50 year old Grand Banks 32' that I am refurbishing. So I love watching these videos for ideas. I know my boat will never be like yours but I'm hoping she'll be an eye catcher when she's done. I just received my new diesel from the Seattle area a little town call Bow. I live in Connecticut so it was a huge leap of faith buying a motor without actually being there to see it. Just had a video to watch. What is the longest trip you have taken? And how long have you owned the boat? I am single and I'm hoping to escape new england for the winters and travel south to warmer weather. At least that's my plan. Who know maybe the Bahama's or Caribbean some day!Good luck with your boat and thanks for the awesome video tour!

John Wilson - 6 years ago

Great tour and video. with two staterooms and two heads, I'm assuming you take friends out for an overnight. Does the overall space work well for that? Also, I noticed in your other videos you use a drone for some excellent aerial video work giving a better perspective as to where you are and the relationship of the space around you. What type of drone do you recommend?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

We haven't done any overnight trips yet with guest, however the size of the boat would certainly be comfortable with others. We personally like smaller drones, as we find they're easier to travel with and hence you'll use them more. We have a DJI Spark and DJI Mavic Air. The Mavic has a better gimbal and camera but they both take exceptional footage and they're easy to fly.

Sandy Swanson - 6 years ago

Wonderful tour and beautiful boat! I am learning from your relaxed style. I am starting to make videos for our Facebook page of our travel adventures in the San Juan Is. We hope to see you around sometime.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Sandy Swanson we hope to run into you in the future! We love venturing up to SJI so be sure to give us a shout if you see us!

Terry G - 6 years ago

Great tour.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Life is short...BUY THE NORDHAVN!!!

Tom Clark - 6 years ago

OK, I'm not a trawler guy at all, but that is a beautiful boat in great shape! So why a main + wing engine vs. two mains? Is a single, larger main more efficient than twins? Also, are your dogs pad trained? We haven't been able to get our border collies interested in using the astroturf for anything other than napping.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Efficiency in smaller trawlers is typically better with a single vs dual mains, but some may debate. Another benefit a single offers better prop protection from the keel and maintenance tends to be somewhat less. Are dogs are not pad trained, although we're considering trying to train them.

Bob Rose - 6 years ago

Your boat is like new, or better! We are looking at a 2007 sailing boat which looks so tired by comparison, lots of work ahead for us! Has this been a project or was it purchased in this condition. You are very proud and rightly so... We have a black Labrador, who, like us, is going to have to find her sailing feet! Your dogs seem very at home on your boat. Oh, and navigation city at the helm! You can never have enough backup though - it makes life easy at sea. Have fun and thank you for sharing your excitement and proud ownership with us.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Bob Rose wow it looks like you’ve got a lot of exciting boat work ahead to get you moving on your own adventure. We wish you lots of fun and safe travels, and we’re thrilled that you’re inspired by our videos. We’ve been watching sailing vlogs for years like Delos which have been a huge inspiration for us to pursue our dreams at sea. Happy Boating!

Bob Rose - 6 years ago

@MV Freedom Yes... the P-Patch, aptly named... we've read a lot online about this and hopefully it should be relatively straight forward. Under sail one of the issues for animals is the amount of heel the boat attains. Daisy is prone to being a bit lively and scrabbling with her paws, so indestructible carpet/matting below is required. Our journeys are going to be oceanic - i.e. days or weeks at sea. Lots of planning, practice and patience (3 P's!).
We have a boat under offer and a 43 item list of required and essential items to do, in addition to cleaning! The boat has had only a single owner with money having been spent on specific items like rigging and mast/boom, but we hope to capitalize on this as cleaning and general maintenance are a good way to get to know a boat - and character building!
The electronics need upgrading - hence my comment - and I think I noticed that some of yours is PC based - a route I am also looking to take as redundancy is easier to build in.
Apologies for the long response but you both appear very motivated and your achievements and video blogs reflect this and provide inspiration for the rest of us...well done!

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Good luck with you boat search! Fortunately we bought her in great condition and only had to do some waxing and the usual interior clean up to make her our own. There were 3 previous owners so we were amazed at how well she was cared for. As for the boat dogs, yes, they do great! Next project is going to be getting them trained on the P-patch so we can do some overnight passages. Wish us luck!

Mihalis Vassilas - 6 years ago

Nice couple with best boat ever!! love both! let me know if you ever visit Greece..Best wishes!

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Will do! We hope to pull into Greece someday in the next 3-5 years with Freedom, so we'll surely look you up when we do. Thanks for watching!

billinga - 6 years ago

Thank you for sharing. Excellent video and explanation. A video on the normal operation (in action) would be wonderful (data on fuel use, water use daily, stabilization, generator, etc). The video post production is very good also, cuts, panning, framing and music. Like the background music also, Damn it feels good to be a gangster!!

Mark Gilbert - 6 years ago

Neat video walk-through, Shawn & Elizabeth! Your love & appreciation for FREEDOM is understated but clear. Your easy-going but thorough presentation is a boon to others trying to learn more about the Nordhavn line. Thanks!

Thanks for watching Mark and for the nice comment! We are beyond proud of her and look forward to sharing more of our travels with her in the future. Plus, we still need to get you aboard for that celebratory bubbly soon!

dsmacd46 - 6 years ago

Grew up in Seattle, with lots of time watching boats and boaters Shilshole and Chittenden locks. Have to say, your boat seems unusually clean for a 14-year old craft. You acquire it that way, or have you done a lot of work? Looks new; beautiful!

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

The boat was generally in good condition when we purchased it, but we continue to make improvements and updates.

patrick coleman - 6 years ago

pretty good tour guys. would have loved to know the range and cruising speed of your boat . cheers

The range is approximately 2500 - 4000 nautical miles depending on the speed ranging from 8.5 - 5.5 knots respectively. Thanks for watching!

rherten - 6 years ago

Nice job, music was unobtrusive. Narration and camera work was very good, very natural. Q: only two cabins, sleeps just 4?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Yes it's two cabins to sleep 4 pretty comfortably, but if you had to sleep more the pilot house and salon seating are quite comfortable :)

Joe User - 6 years ago

This was a great walk through. There's a bid difference between a proud owner walk through vs. a broker video. You gave us a much better feel for living on the boat. And there was much less selfie obsession with this video which is a plus.

Excellent vid and tour. I really liked how you took your time and were thorough. There is a guys at the Beaufort, NC docks where I go with either the 40 or 43 that I’ve seen for years. I’ll have to ask him which one it is. Great boat! Your equipment is top notch. Enjoy.

philipgillespie80 - 6 years ago

what is the range with your fuel capacity?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

The range is about 3500-4000 nautical miles, so basically we could get to Hawaii on a tank. We're looking forward to that someday soon!

Wander N - 6 years ago

Just amazing! You have a fantastic boat. Could you explain what is that you show at 7:37?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

That is the follow up steering that can be used if you don't want to mess with the large wheel. More redundancy which is nice to have.

NY Don - 6 years ago

Damn your dogs are lucky.

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Yes they are! We're animal lovers so they deserve to have a great life. Mr. Sully is a rescue from a high kill shelter so he's definitely got a good home now aboard MV Freedom!

Wow, it's so cool to hear from the original owner(s)! We couldn't be happier to have found Endurance, now Freedom, and have loved every minute on her. We were pleasantly shocked how great of condition she was in when we bought her, so thank YOU for keeping her in great shape! If you're ever in the Seattle area and want to go for a harbor cruise for old times, just let us know in a PM!

Paul Harper - 6 years ago

Great tour, did I spot water maker controls in the galley? Really like the pilot house design. I work on heavy equipment for a living & the 6068 Deere is a fantastic engine.

Paul Harper - 6 years ago

@1ST General The luggers have dry exhaust, turbo's add a huge amount of exhaust heat. Non turbo diesels are very simple & reliable.

1ST General - 6 years ago

Why is it not turbocharged?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

You did. We have a 12VDC water maker that's capable of making 150 gallons per day. The boat came with the water maker, if I was outfitting I would recommend a higher capacity AC version however they are quite $$$. Glad to hear the 6068 is a robust machine.

Eric Bescoby - 6 years ago

Nice videos. Thanks. What brand and size of dinghy do you have and what motor? I’ve on N4029 and in the throws of a dinghy quandary. We could take this of this site if you’d email me at rcbscb2222@gmail.com.

Astrodiver 1 - 6 years ago

Great video tour! I was on a Nordhavn 43 a few months ago ( also a 2004 ) I just want to say that yours looks like new compared to the one I was on. We love the layout of the 43 but it's just too small for us, I can't stand up in most of it. Is the dry stack original and stainless?

rnordquest - 5 years ago

Dry stack is a Nordhavn feature.

Greg Farrell - 6 years ago

You have a very nice vessel but, it is a Nordhavn! I am so envious! lol

Westsideguy - 6 years ago

Great tour! We live in the same city, and have boats at the same place (EBM), small world. A boater-friend of mine in Seattle told me about your channel! I’m not sure what my next boat will be but I can sense a change coming as I’d like to be out longer and have more creature comforts. This seems like a great boat, but might be more than I’m willing to spend at this time. Thank you for making the time to do a video tour of your boat, she’s lovely! Cheers!

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

Wow, small world for sure. If you see us in passing be sure to say hello! We love to meet other boaters, especially others at EBM. Happy Holiday boating!

Fantastic tour! The way you filmed it really gives a sense of the space and flow. Did the layout of the N43 sell you over the N40?

MV Freedom - 6 years ago

ThisIsGordonMiller yes we loved the 43 much more than the 40 as the 43 is perfect for 2 adults and 2 dogs. It is surprisingly VERY spacious. When we were on the 40, we felt like it was a bit tight and not something we’d feel comfortable in for years to come. Thanks for watching!
