Having spent time in Alaska I can only but agree there are plenty of times and places where most boats can enjoy the ambiance. When James Hamilton took ownership of his Nordhavn 52 two years ago the first big trip he took was a great test - out Juan Defuca and they followed the west coast on the outside all the way to Prince William Sound as I recall (posted on his website). He is an intrepid traveler for sure and this jaunt gave the 52 some real bona fides.

The bench mark boat for the Nordhavn Atlantic rally was the 57. It has good range and with its hull design certainly one of the faster performers in the Nordhavn line. I sure would have enjoyed the 57 in Alaska this summer as we crossed Dixon Entrance.
