Nick Burnham takes us on a guided tour of the Nordhavn 52, one of the most rugged and capable long-distance cruisers on the market
Highly sought-after as a liveaboard cruiser, the Nordhavn 52 has the offshore credentials to take you cruising around the world. As this particular example is laid up on land, Nick is able to take a proper look at her hull, stern gear and propellers before boarding the transom for a full walkaround tour of the interior.
Two cabins allow for up to five guests on board, while the Portuguese bridge includes a bunk for taking a nap on passage. The deep side-decks and well protected cockpit create a real little ship feel, while the excellently kitted out galley caps off an impressive layout for its size.
