Nordhavn N41 Popularity Surges
It wasn't that long ago that Nordhavn was feeling good about the first ten hulls of the N41 being sold. Prior to that they were also feeling good about introducing the N41 to the market towards the end of 2020. Last week the yard has engaged in at least commitments for 40 hulls of the new N41 passagemaker. So why is this new model proving to be so popular and hasn't even been in service for a year?

This is important because many new owners to yachting either may not be able to afford a large yacht up front or foot the cost of operation and associated maintenance there after.
