After introducing the NORDHAVN 55, which closely followed the successful launching of the 43, 47 and 72, Pacific Asian Enterprises (P.A.E.) continues to strengthen its leadership position in long range, full-displacement passage makers with the NORDHAVN 64. The design incorporates the company’s styling and showcases its innovative approach to creating extra-spacious interior accommodations.
“The popularity of our 47, followed by the positive response we had to our 55, confirmed our belief that our customers want even more living space and more conveniences while they are cruising. The challenge is to provide these luxuries while maintaining the offshore capability of our boats,” said Jim Leishman, vice president of P.A.E. “Our 64 offers a remarkable amount of interior room, and she has the ability to cross any ocean. And because of modern systems she can be handled by an experienced couple, eliminating the need for paid crew.” Naval architect Jeff Leishman added, “I am very pleased with the outcome of the Nordhavn 64 design. The N64 draws on many of the elements of other Nordhavn designs, but it is also uniquely beautiful and elegant in its own special way. The N64 is nearly perfect.”
