2009 Nordhavn 56 Motorsailer

The 2009 Nordhavn 56 Motorsailer is a 57-foot fiberglass motorsailer built on a design that combines sailing capability with trawler-like versatility. Powered by a single John Deere diesel engine producing 220 horsepower, she cruises at 8 knots with a maximum speed of 10 knots. The boat is rigged with roller-furling sails and equipped with power winches, offering a balanced approach to both sail and motor cruising with extended range.

The layout centers on a traditional trawler-style wheelhouse with comprehensive navigation and instrument panels. The pilothouse is accessed by port and starboard doors leading to the foredeck and a forward sailing cockpit with its own helm station and sail controls. Below deck, a spacious saloon with seating on both sides and fore and aft views sits above the master stateroom.

The accommodation plan includes three cabins and two heads with separate showers. The boat's design reflects the classic Mason-style motorsailers produced by Pacific Asian Enterprises, adapted here for cruising comfort and practical seakeeping with trawler-style construction principles, including an aft deck suited to extended voyaging.
