I have never seen a Nordhavn 46 with a front mast used for a crows nest before. I thought it was a motorsailor at first, but the broker said there is no sail. Kind of strange. Kind of cool. Can't afford it so I guess it doesn't matter. :-)

Yeah I've seen them before. I don't like the look my self; different folks: different strokes.

The crows nest is pretty handy when picking your way through a reef at a Pacific atoll.

Hey I recognize that place. That Nordy docks across the channel from our boat. In this picture shes passing Molls Leg in Solomons Md. Its a very nice boat. Looks like the picture was taken from the Chesapeake Bay Pilots station.
I'm sure your able to remove it, but you'll need a fiberglass guy.
Or a Photoshop guy. This is one of those boats that I don't miss the forward mast for appearance. If the pilothouse were more aft, maybe, but not this one. I think it looks more balanced without it.

Now it looks like a girly boat. Being in the crows nest shouting, "land ho". Now, that's manly.
With the paravanes and dry stack exhaust you would only be going through high rises bridges with calling for openings. Somehow I don't that there have been many bridges where that boat has been.

Yep! Hit it right on the head. The forward mast totally wrecks the all the aesthetic value of the whole boat IMO.

I'm not aware of the crows nest being standard equipment on the N46. In fact the only boat it was standard equipment is the N35 (see attached picture). It is fun to get up there and look around and practical when in the shallows. Much less expensive then adding a flybridge plus it looks cool.
the 46 has really classic looks ...
with the fly bridge and the Crows Nest not so much.
as much as I love a fly bridge there's no way I would want one on a N 46
