News: First N51 Starts Construction

First N51 Begins Build
​

Nordhavn is ramping up prep and construction work on the new models they recently announced in the last 2 years. The N41 entry-level passagemaker made it to market and has delivered at least 10 units to customers while the other new boats, the N71 and N51 have started mold work and are being readied for actual construction. The N71 hull mold is actually completed and that is moving on to full construction while Nordhavn says they have actively started build on the new N51. Hull #1 is currently in the initial lamination stage with the outermost layer of the boat now completed. Built at Telgeren & Partners yacht yard in Turkey, crews will continue to work on the inaugural hull, which will remain in the mold the next two weeks for completion of lamination and the addition of the hull stringers.

The build schedule is tight for the N51 (as well with the first three hulls in this model) and is expected to be completed by year's end. The N51 already has 26 hulls reserved by customers and perhaps will go on to be as popular as the smaller N41 has been so far. The N51 is actually based on the smaller N41's hull, which is now a proven platform with quite a few N41s already roaming the open water. With in-house computational fluid dynamics, we can expect the first N51 to be finished before the year ends.
