SOLD! Congratulations and safe travels to the new owners.

Nordhavn 47 SEABIRD has traveled north to Alaska, spending a couple of years in the Northwest before heading south back to California, on to Mexico and then exploring central America. Cutting through the Panama Canal they ventured through the Caribbean and then used Florida as their stepping off place to sail eastward. SEABIRD crossed the Atlantic on her own bottom. Two glorious years were spent cruising the Mediterranean before shipping back to the US as on deck cargo aboard a freighter due to other commitments. A veteran of four different summer trips to Alaska and extensive cruising that included ocean passages, island hopping and exploring remote coves and isolated shores. She eventually meandered back to their home port of Santa Barbara, an appropriate and special home for this wonderful trawler. Since 2012, SEABIRD has enjoyed a more coastal lifestyle with many adventures along the US west coast, the California Channel Islands becoming the preferred location to get away. SEABIRD has travelled more than 40,000 miles.

SEABIRD is hull number 50 of this incredibly popular design. She is a 2007 model year, commissioned for delivery and handed over for first use in 2008. The most commonly desired features for a 47 are: flybridge with fiberglass stack and crane and twostateroom, twohead interior layout. SEABIRD has these popular features and much more.

The international appeal of this, “the largest small Nordhavn”, found a growing market in Europe and Australia. The owners of SEABIRD used their own sailing offshore experiences and intelligent observations of how other 47’s were outfitted to order a spectacular package which has served them well. The Nordhavn 47 was continually improved during her production years and SEABIRD is the beneficiary of those sister ships who preceded her. It is not easy to compare 47’s from different model years because of the number of choices, changes and refinements.

She is one of the last five to be built and delivered in the U.S. and the 47 was eventually morphed into the Nordhavn 52 starting with hull 60. Significant improvements developed over the first few years of production include the following; 24V electrical, full size watch berth in the pilothouse, opening hatch in the master stateroom; and availability of the best equipment selections such as a Steelhead crane, improved Northern Lights generator panels, Lugger wing engine, fiberglass stack enclosure for the dry stack exhaust, saloon flat screen television lift and ABT TRAC active fin stabilizers all important additions that simply were not available on earlier hulls. She also has SidePower electric bow and stern thrusters for safe and sure arrival in any marina. With her Village Marine 600 GPD water maker, generator and air conditioning, abundant storage for provisions and SubZero refrigeration and freezers you can anchor remotely and enjoy life away from civilization for extended periods of time.

SEABIRD has served well as an ocean crossing, long range cruising platform. PAE, the builder, evolved the Nordhavn 47 into the Nordhavn 52 model (for hundreds of thousands of dollars more in cost) and made standard the flybridge, fiberglass stack and crane – just like SEABIRD. One of the last of the 47’s she is a testament to her build quality and Nordhavn pedigree.
