2003 Nordhavn 35

St. Helena is hull 19 out of 23 and now, for the first time ever, is offered for sale by her original owners. She is lying in Sidney, BC where she continues to enjoy the wonders of cruising that the 48° and north latitudes provide. The owners are a retired couple from Colorado who have enjoyed over a dozen summers exploring the Pacific Northwest aboard her. They took delivery in California, and after a year in the waters of Baja California, headed north for the Pacific Northwest.

They have done a remarkable job of looking after the boat; there are maintenance spreadsheets and a summary of upgrades as each year they made sure she was ready for their return the following season. These sellers have treated St. Helena graciously, living by the philosophy that “when you take care of your trawler, your trawler takes care of you”.

The Nordhavn 35 was a limited production model that has aged remarkably well and is truly an irreplaceable vintage since the tooling was destroyed many years ago. There is really nothing around under 40' that is as practical and elegant, especially for two people. There are similar types of sporty trawlers — like the American Tug, Nordic Tug, Grand Banks 36 and Selene 36/38/40 — but none of these models can challenge the overall package the Nordhavn 35 offers.

Superbly engineered and beautifully crafted in Taiwan, the Nordhavn 35 has a commanding presence. The first thing you will notice is her striking good looks, sharing a family resemblance to her larger ocean crossing sisters. One of the 35's primary advantages is that she was designed with every critical decision in favor of creating the ultimate coastal explorer for an adventurous couple. One of the biggest appeals of this little ship is that she has an ideal layout for two — ideal for a couple who wants something easy to manage and maintain that also boasts beautiful craftsmanship and is easy to operate. The 35 is purpose built to accomplish this mission (no cramming in a second cabin or additional head).

On deck, you enter aft underneath the covered cockpit and can move forward along either side deck up to the anchor well. The cockpit is trimmed with teak and there is a centered hatch that opens to provide access to the lazarette, which features steering and storage and accommodates two teak captain's chairs in a custom storage rack. Stepping onto the cabin top and working aft, you can easily climb up the folding steps on the mast onto the boat deck (pilothouse/saloon roof) to retrieve the tender. The dinghy is a Trinka rigged for sailing. Off the large swim step is a manually lowered davit for convenient and safe access to the dinghy.

Entry through the Dutch door into the saloon/pilothouse reveals a spacious and cozy room, larger than you might expect, with comfortable seating and windows on all sides. This is the room with a view and you drive St. Helena from the built-in bench forward to starboard. Most meals are served and enjoyed at the port side settee and table. With climate control using a diesel furnace, you will have an ideal yacht for the Pacific Northwest.

With the master forward and cleverly turned sideways, the sleeping accommodations are spacious and comfortable — easy on/off and simple to make. The lower level begins with the galley to port, a few steps down from the saloon, and includes the head with stall shower to starboard. The galley is a traditional layout with counter space, lockers, drawers, cold storage, microwave and a propane stove and oven. Across the hall is the private head and shower stall, with an opening portlight, freshwater toilet, and sink with medicine cabinet above.

The engine room is accessed below the large pantry locker and is surprisingly large for a 35' trawler. Fuel tanks are outboard; you can easily make your way along the starboard side of the engine and moving aft brings you to the generator in a sound shield. The master stateroom is light and airy, with opening windows on both sides and an opening hatch overhead. The bed is an island berth with access on both sides and storage for suitcases underneath.

St. Helena is USCG documented and available for inspection by appointment only. Vessel is US owned and visiting Canadian waters; pre-purchase survey and haul out must be conducted in US waters.
