Actually the price of the older N46's have dropped dramatically in the last few years.
In 2011 I looked at a N46 Salvation II that was a proven circumnavigator and seriously considered her, before buying our last boat. Salvation II sold for I believe $320K
In 2012 there was a N46 in Seward Alaska that was listed for $320K
Right now there is a N46 listed in the PACNW for $298K that I believe is now sale pending.
While I am no N46 expert, if I were to purchase a boat with the intent on cruising beyond our coastlines, a properly equipped N46 would be the boat I'd choose.
Egret is one of the most traveled Nordhavns out there, and the Flanders among the most experienced cruisers. Whoever buys Egret will be carrying on quite a tradition.
We ran into the crew of m/v Emily Grace, an other, world traveled Nordhavn 46, last week when we were at Cumberland Island, GA. It sounded like she'll be on the market fairly soon. Emily Grace
