Nordhavn Christens N52 "Albedos"

Nordhavn Christens N52 Yacht "Albedos"​

With the smash of the champagne bottle across the bow, one of the latest Nordhavn N52's officially was named and handed over to her owner. This one is called "Albedos" and those who follow these trawler and expedition yachts very closely may recall that name from in the past. If so, you will remember an N40 with the same name, well that is because the owner has stepped up after having that yacht for around 14 years.

The solution came in the form of the Nordhavn 52, and now the couple sits in the pilothouse of their new yacht and marvel at how things will be different, yet still the same. Albedos arrived in southern California in January when the Frantzes laid eyes on her and it was love at first sight all over again. They remained in Dana Point during commissioning, and over the course of time became reacquainted with the PAE staff – many of who assisted with the commission of their 40 more than a decade ago. “I’m amazed that many of them from our 2000 experience are still here,” said Jim. The family atmosphere that comes from PAE’s long-standing team is a comforting one for Lynda, while the consistency was a confidence builder for Jim. One way their boating experience will be completely different is the roominess their N52 now provides them. With children and grandkids coming along for trips, the single head had become a major issue, said Lynda. The Nordhavn 52 has two heads, loads of headroom, an additional stateroom plus a huge cockpit for their newest addition, Izzie, their dog.
