Nordhavn 40

Share This Story!

Limerick is hull 27 out of 44 of the first generation Nordhavn 40’s.  The legendary cruising sailboat builder, Pacific Seacraft, was selected by P.A.E. to produce the 40.   A sister ship, hull 21, completed a circumnavigation, defining the brand by showcasing the capability of the smallest production model. In 2023 a special voyage across the Atlantic was the most recent accomplishment of this versatile design, adding to the collection of numerous owner operated ocean crossings and extensive coastal trips.

Limerick is for sale by her second owners.  They purchased her in Florida and sailed her back to California.  Most of their travlels have been between the Panama Canal and their home port of San Diego.  As an active couple they have enjoyed cruising away from the crowds and exploring along the Pacific coasts.   One very noticable difference in the finish of Limerick is the additional teak wood work throughout the interior.  Most 40’s use a lot of white laminate vertical surfaces, a builder preference, but the original buyer wanted a more yacht like interior and as you view the photos and compare with other 40’s you will see the subtle, but very pleasing difference this interior wood work creates.
