    First of all, sorry for my English. My native language is Russian, also I'm fluent in French and Ukrainian, but there are only several months of english studying. I'm not young enough to learn new language quickly and it's not easy for me.

    So, once again, sorry.

    My question is: how do you think, what is the longest range semi-custom or production power yacht under 26 metres (85 ft)? I suppose that it is Naumachos 82' with 7000 nautical miles at 9 knots, but I'm not sure, because about five years ago saw in Avizo (ukrainian newspaper) classified with 22-meters yacht with 7500 nm - there was no brand mentioned, unfortunately.

    Thank you.

    Dashew is claiming 8200 nm at about 8 kts for their 64 foot cruiser. It's an interesting design in that the hull is pretty narrow, like a sailboat. Also, much of the exterior is unpainted aluminum which is easy to maintain but the looks may not be for everyone. I would consider it if you are into long-range cruising with two-three people and aren't too concerned with all the luxuries found on a typical yacht.

    Nordhavn has an 86 footer with a 4000 nm range or so but with its increased length and beam, it probably has twice the room that the Dashew has. The Nordhavn is a lot more luxurious as well so if you're married and the wife likes to be comfortable that might be a better choice. However, my guess is the Nordhavn will require a crew whereas the Dashew is geared towards the owner-operator.
