    My 1974 Yacht has e/r access by crew without going into the rest of the boat, same for laundry, wheelhouse and galley.

    Hi,

    Is the Transom Engine Room access referred to in the Nordhavn Press Release the only Engine Room access or is there another internal one?

    I like it but they just need one a little bit bigger so I can fit a small sportfish on the stern and I'm good to go.

    I don't know for sure. PAE has not published a GA as far as I know. In addition to access from the Lazarette, their larger, modern boats (55, 60, 63, 64, 68, and 72/76) all have a corridor or utility room that will lead to the ER without intruding into a cabin. However, I believe the 86 and 120 only have single-point access through the crew spaces.

    The 78 is a good looking boat. She has very proper lines.
    It will be nice to see what they come up with for a GA.
    My guess is they have a lot of it worked out, however haven't released it for public consumption yet.

    78 Details

    Nordhavn put the 78 on its site today. There is a larger PDF of the GA and it does show a stairwell to a small landing that connects to a second guest cabin with twins to port, forward is a small utility room with laundry, sink and chest freezer and aft is another W/T door to the engine room. Interestingly the layout provides separate stairs for each owner/guest cabin. The forward guest cabin looks to have a queen berth, more than ample hanging lockers and dresser drawers, a desk and vanity/sink/shower. The owners’ cabin has a king, desk space, a small settee, plenty of storage including a walk-in closet with makeup vanity and larger head than the forward cabin. The second guest cabin has twin berths a single hanging locker, a chest of drawers plus drawers under the berths and the same 3-piece head.

    Crew members have twin bunks in one room to port with some storage and a small 3-piece head to starboard. It looks as if they get a small dining table, but no crew galley. The transom has a crew/technician entrance as noted in the press release. The captain has a very small cabin aft of the helm and toilet/sink that has dual doors to function as a dayhead.

    The wheelhouse has dual helm chairs, space for paper chart planning, a raised settee and table. There are doors port and starboard, and a set of stairs give inside-only access up the flying bridge. There are not any stairs in the cockpit. The captain’s cabin is aft as mentioned and then down a few steps is the galley with bar and bar stools, table and chairs for eight to dine to port, another settee and two chairs to starboard. A television looks to be stored in a cabinet on the port side and would rise for viewing. The saloon is asymetrical being pushed out to port eliminating the side deck granting a larger living space. The galley has a door to the shortened port side deck and there is another door opposite the galley to the starboard deck.

    There is a nice size cockpit uncluttered by sink and grill as they are on the flying bridge. There is however a table and built-in seating and an aft facing set of controls for docking. Stairs P/S lead to the integral swim platform.

    The flying bridge has a helm station with dual chairs, room for a Jacuzzi and fixed table with permanent seating. There is a bar with fridge/freezer drawers, sink and grill. Space is available for an additional table and chairs. Aft is tender storage and crane. The foredeck sports a sunpad for two or so.

    Shoot. I missed that the first time I followed the link in the OP.
    Thanks for the reference.

    After looking at it, that is an excellent GA. I like the "VIP" having their own passageway, and the separation of the "utility room" from the owners quarters. and, they snuck a captains quarters in with a shared day head off the wheel house. Really a great use of space.

    You didn't miss anything. The press release was out a couple of days before they added the new 78 section to the rest of the site. It is a nice layout, but I am not a fan of the exterior styling especially as it is a Nordhavn. And I think the crew have a nicer cabin than the captain! The owner and guest cabins do look wonderful though.
