Helllo,
I've been reading the forum for some time but as I'm closer to making my dream come true, I thought it would be a good time to join the conversation.
I'm considering a new Nordhavn N51 (or possibly an N475). I'll be flying to Ft Lauderdale in October to view the N41 and speak to Nordhavn but I am new to the process. The plan is to take delivery in Turkey and sail up to Sochi Russia to spend a year or so learning and local cruising before going off to explore the world. I'm fortunate enough to have a good friend who is an experienced Russian captain living in Sochi who will sail with me and who I can learn from (he's done Turkey to Russia deliveries in the past). I only have experience coastal boating in the 30 foot range. I am an experimental aircraft builder and pilot so I know mechanics, weather, and risk management however which is a start.
I'm not sure the best way to get started in my initial fact finding and purchase process. I contacted Nordhavn but at least through email, they haven't responded. Does anyone here have a good contact at Nordhavn I could begin the journey with? I suppose I could just start calling numbers but a recommendation here would be nice first. Thanks in advance!
