Nordhavn 40

Canadian Prospects Note:

Sedna was built in Southern California by Pacific Seacraft, which may qualify her as a NAFTA product, and provide a tariff advantage to prospective Canadian buyers.

Sedna was named for the sea goddess of the First Nation Tribes of the Pacific Northwest, and is believed to be responsible for creating all of the sea mammals.

Sedna presents a unique opportunity to purchase a Nordhavn 40 in the Pacific Northwest. She is one of the few Nordhavn 40’s available on the West Coast, and has the preferred non-flybridge configuration for cruising in the Northwest. “Sedna” has been maintained by some of the most competent mechanical and general marine technicians in the Seattle area.    

She is hull #24, well into the Nordhavn 40 series — perhaps the most capable 40-foot passagemaking powerboat ever designed — and has many of the basic system configurations, port light style, and other developments that followed hull #21, the Nordhavn 40 that circumnavigated in the 2001 “Around-the-World” project. She has the well-proven Nordhavn dry stack exhaust system and gravity feed fuel system, producing one of the most reliable engine systems fitted on any yacht.

General Layout

Sedna has the standard Nordhavn 40 layout with teak joinery throughout. Enter the salon from the cockpit through a Diamond/Seaglaze door. There is a dinette settee and table to starboard and an apposing L-shaped settee to port.

The galley has light Corian countertops, and is to port at the forward end of the salon. Just forward there are steps up to the pilothouse and down to the passageway access to the head and sleeping cabins. The head, with separate stall shower is to starboard, and the guest stateroom is to port. Engine room access is through the guest cabin, although there are mechanic’s and egress hatches in the salon. At the forward end of the passageway is the master stateroom with a centerline double bed, and a lot of stowage space organized in hanging and overhead lockers port and starboard.  

The engine room of the Nordhavn 40 is highly regarded for its space and systems organization.

Engines/Fuel System:

Sedna is hull #24. The main engine, wing engine, and fuel system configuration are the same as fitted on hull #21, the “Around-the-World” boat.

• Main Engine (2802 hrs.) – Lugger 668D, 105hp, continuous-duty rating, w/ Twin Disc 3.9:1 transmission and 2" propeller shaft
• Morse cable control systems for main and wing engines
• Main engine alternators – 1 ea. 130-amp for house bank charging, and 1 ea. 40-amp for engine start battery charging
• Wing Engine – Yanmar 3GM 30 w/ 1" propeller shaft and Martec folding propeller – providing a redundant propulsion system rather than a second source of propulsion linked to the main shaft. The exhaust elbow was replaced 2009.

Note: Nordhavn does not believe in cross linking an auxiliary propulsion system to the main shaft since the cause of main engine shut-down could be caused by fouling of the main engine propeller, thus, the wing-engine is fitted with its own shaft and propeller.

• 2 ea. 460 US gallon vinylester resin-laminated fiberglass fuel tanks (920 gals. total). Extremely durable. Each tank has a sight gauge and a manhole size access port in the top.
• Centerline supply tank, gravity fed through ¾" fuel lines from the main tanks. The main engine and generator fuel is fed from this tank. The ¾”" diameter fuel supply line from the main tanks reduces the chance of debris in the fuel ever causing a blockage. There is a water drain fitting at the low point in the tank.
• Dry stack exhaust with keel cooler eliminates raw water pump, raw water contact with engine. Main engine exhausts well above deck in moving air. No intake through-hull to ingest debris into cooling system.
• Isolated wing engine fuel tank. The 10-gallon tank is independent from the main fuel system. Fuel is filtered through a separate Racor filter during operator-selected refueling of the wing engine tank from the main supply, ensuring a clean supply of fuel in the event of a main engine shut-down.
• Racor duplex 900 fuel filters with vacuum gauge for main engine
• Fuel transfer system with in-line Racor 900 filter for filtering and polishing fuel as well as transferring it.
• Reverso oil-changing system – plumbed to main and generator engines
