Nordhavn 46

Born from the driving passion of the founders of Pacific Asian Enterprises (PAE), the N46 was from the very beginning a design that broke the marketing and styling rules of the day. Challenging the popular trends of the marine industry for light, go-fast boats, the Nordhavn 46 immediately attracted an ardent following of sailors and power boaters who shared a common desire to travel the oceans of the world. Many had read Robert Beebe’s Voyaging Under Power and were searching for their ideal passage maker. 

La Trinidad’s first owner built her to specifications that would be simplistic, robust and easy to maintain anywhere in the world he might find himself.  Her 2nd and now 3rd owners have maintained and updated her along the way.  

With a complete Garmin electronics upgrade, new batteries, updated galley equipment and more, she is now ready to meet her 4th owner!

LAYOUT

From the cockpit a large sliding door opens to the salon and galley. Forward and to starboard are two sets of steps, one up to the pilothouse and the other down to the two staterooms. Moving down and forward the guest quarters are to port and the private guest head and shower are to starboard. Further forward is the owner’s head and shower to starboard and the owner’s living quarters all the way forward. Taking the steps up from the salon takes you to the pilothouse. One can exit the pilothouse to the side decks and Portuguese bridge through port and starboard sliding doors. The boat deck can be accessed from the port side deck or cockpit ladder.

MAIN SALON

This open and airy living area measures eleven feet by twelve feet. An “L” shaped settee and two swivel chairs provide ample seating for six. A beautiful moveable dining/card table measuring 40"x40" when opened can be securely stowed when not in use. Soles are teak & spruce. The shaded aft deck is easily accessed through a large sliding door. There’s an abundance of ventilation and light through opening stainless marine windows and a beautiful view of the yacht’s surroundings when the custom blinds are open.

 GALLEY

Efficiently designed, the galley has abundant storage and counter space. The position is such that it is out of the main stream of salon traffic, yet not isolated. The person working within the galley will be able to participate in any conversation and see all activity within the salon area.

GUEST STATEROOM

Guest quarters are located down and amidships. This stateroom, located to port, has a roomy, bright feeling. It has beautifully finished teak cabinetry, white laminate bulkheads with teak trim, and teak & spruce soles. There is a double berth (6'4"x4'5") athwartships with a pull-out single berth above. There is a separate head with a stall shower to starboard.

OWNER’S STATEROOM

The owner’s stateroom is down & forward. Plenty of natural ventilation and light provided by opening stainless ports and three overhead hatches (two small & one large hatch). With long range cruising in mind, La Trinidad has two hanging lockers, a six-drawer vanity, four deep drawers under the centerline queen (6'6"x5'6"), storage under the dressing bench, and multiple other storage areas. The private head & stall shower also has abundant storage.

Owner & guest heads both have upgraded Surrell countertops with special order white sinks, Jabsco electric heads with macerator, medicine cabinet with mirror, and molded seats in the shower.

WHEELHOUSE

There is bench seating for four with a wide table for dining or just enjoying the panoramic view. A pilot berth is up & aft of the settee and has a slide-out extension to make it into a double berth.
