Nordhavn 60 Ginard is a 2013 model year, but she went through a transformative two-plus-year improvement period that wrapped up in 2022. Philbrook’s Boatyard in Sidney, British Columbia, handled these extensive upgrades.
Some of the repair, replacement, and improvement highlights include:
- Alexseal paint over the original blue gelcoat hull
- Extensive Maretron installation and programming
- Navigation and communication electronics replacements and upgrades
- Walker bay dinghy and Yamaha outboard Entertainment – stereo and televisions replaced.
- Peplink internet hardware
- Headliners, upholstery and carpeting
- Victron AGM Batteries and Victron Quattro inverters
- Major components rebuilt such as the Steel head crane, Tecma toilets, black water pumps, engine shaft seals, air-conditioning compressors, windlass, etc.
- Diamond Seaglaze doors and windows redone
- Imtra LED lighting throughout
- Integrating the swim platform into the hull
- Smart plug shore power connections including a new Glendinning cord
And what you don’t see until haul-out: four layers of epoxy barrier coat, three coats of bottom paint, prop speed on the running gear, and four Lumishore underwater lights.
The owners invested more than two years and significant resources to achieve their goal—completely refreshing Ginard for 10 years of trouble-free cruising.
