The total area and therefore the cost of building the hull of the Artnautica 58 would be less than the smallest Nordy especially when the reduced height is factored in.

Nordhavn produce some great boats, but they are completely different to the concept behind the Artnauitica. The latter is a much simpler boat. The aluminium hull is another major difference.

Should of put length and width too, but what I'm trying to get at is, how long are you going be crossing oceans vs just cruising. Yes the Artnautica shines in the area of comfortably crossing oceans along with doing it fast and efficiently, BUT how much time are you spending doing that specific task in actuality. Again, it's all owner preference.

We bought a nordhavn because we wanted the most boat, and a comfortable sea boat. It performs those tasks great, along with the great efficiency ( to us that is). We never planned on crossing oceans, but now are considering it once we have the time too. That's an added bonus too. Simplicity, out boat is pretty simple once you get to know it, when we first got our boat it seemed to complex. But we spent time on it digging though every locker, nook, cranny, and etc. Now it's simple as it was taking out our little Camano out.
