Boarding:  Limerick offers an aft cockpit starboard side boarding door, the preferred choice when docked.  The transom boarding door which leads to the built-in swim platform offers access when positioned stern-in or boarding from the dinghy in the water.

Cockpit:  Once aboard the boat you will notice the well-designed and sufficient size of the aft deck cockpit. Limerick’s cockpit provides a safe and well protected back deck outside area. Two molded-in seats are located aft (port and starboard), starboard used for storage and the port seat locker is for propane tank storage. A hot and cold shower for rinsing off after a swim is located inside the transom. The lazarette below is accessed via a large hatch located in the center of the cockpit floor while the saloon is accessed through a raised (to prevent water entry) hinged centerline door.

Saloon:  Limerick was ordered with additional teak surfaces instead of the white laminate you normally see on a US Nordhavn 40 and this selection provides a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Limerick is a full displacement long range trawler that has provided an excellent cruising platform for the active couple who own her and have traveled from FL to CA and along the US west coast. She is a first generation Nordhavn 40, built by cruising sailboat leader, Pacific Seacraft in California. Proudly made in the U.S.A.

You can read all about the cruising accomplishments of the Nordhavn 40 online and by studying magazine reviews and owner blogs.  Most of the detailed photos of Limerick were taken in July of 2023.

Broker comments:  Limerick has been well traveled with her second owners.  They have committed to land-based living and have been great stewards, but it’s time to move off and let someone else come aboard. There are a few project opportunities for the next owner and the price reflects details such as the boom winch rotation, inoperable watermaker, lack of a fixed swim ladder, some stubborn through hulls, need for bottom paint, gelcoat crazing in deck, etc. Most of these issues are time related.  Several thousand dollars worth of spare parts are stowed off the vessel (along with storm plates) that are included in the purchase. Limerick is in excellent condition for her age as the photos attest, please contact Jeff to schedule an appointment to visit her.
