Designed by renowned designer Robert H. Perry, the Nordic 40 was built to the highest of standards and over the years has proven to be a fast, capable blue water cruiser. Her hull is solid fiberglass. The deck is balsa cored with sold glass under deck hardware which is through-bolted to backing plates.
Her sail plan along with performance keel and rudder deliver superb performance, especially when going to weather. In the realm of iconic 40 footers, the Nordic 40 is considered to be among the best of the best.
