Next Dimension is in exceptional condition, well maintained with low hours and light use. She is hull 56 in this popular Nordhavn 40 series.
This design has generous interior accommodations (saloon and galley on the entry level, raised pilothouse and two staterooms with one head on the lower level) and a seakindly ride through the water.
Next Dimension was ordered with the optional fly bridge, which provides an excellent outdoor area above the pilothouse for taking command underway or relaxing when at rest.
The saloon is spacious because it is pushed out on both sides, no wasted space filled with rarely used walking side decks. The entry level merges the saloon into the galley with a set of stairs up to the raised pilothouse or down to the accommodations deck.
The owner stateroom is forward, there is a shared head and shower, and the guest stateroom has two bunk berths.
The engine room is surprisingly spacious, benefitting from the proprietary “maintenance strakes” in the hull mold that provides additional headroom on both sides of the main engine. Systems and equipment are selected and installed for reliability and service ease.
The pilothouse is arranged for optimal operation with good sight lines and easy to reach controls. The flybridge adds a second command station and the tender is mounted on the boat deck, launched by the mast and boom.
For stabilization, she has both paravane outriggers and active fin stabilizers.
The Nordhavn 40 is a full displacement trawler that was designed and built to transit oceans. A sistership completed a 26-week circumnavigation in 2001 (with listing broker Jeff Merrill crewing a leg). The Nordhavn 40 design is the smallest passage maker built by PAE and boasts a 3,000-mile range.
Most Nordhavn 40 owners are “owner operators” who enjoy the reliability of this design and savor time aboard, planning, traveling and resting at anchor.
Next Dimension is a second generation (MK II built in China) Nordhavn 40 – hull 56. When the original California builder faltered at hull 44, PAE/Nordhavn shipped the tooling to the Nordhavn yard in China to continue production stating with hull 45 and differentiated the two versions in this series as Mark I US made, and Mark II China built.
Note: Next Dimension has her CBP-7501 Entry Summary papers. She has remained USCG Documented and US flagged through all three owners. Tariff issues are subject to change and JMYS cannot offer legal advice – please consult with a qualified maritime attorney before purchasing any vessel built outside of the United States.
