***Nidaros is currently in a slip at the newly refurbished Port Hadlock Marina (near Port Townsend). Slip will be available for rental to her new onwers, should cruising plans include the Pacific Northwest Islands, cities,  and other destiations.*****   Compare “NIDAROS” with any new trawler.  Beauty runs much deeper than skin deep with this beautiful, robust and superbly designed and constructed ocean going machine. A true displacement vessel, NIDAROS is the absolute pinnacle of efficient and sea worthy travel.       NIDAROS is a reward for those with creature comforts and ambiance high on the priority list; and she is the absolute pinnacle for those who appreciate the finest in engineering and design.She has a steel hull and aluminum house. Now that you are seriously looking for the vessel of your dreams, it is tougher than you thought it would be, isn’t it? I understand. Seems like all the internet brochures, manufacturers’ sites, cruising magazines, and boat show presentations are so boxed in to the same criteria, that over time we actually lose sight of what was important to us when we set out to find the perfect boat. So many brands try to be so many things to so many segments of the marketplace that gradually over time, they all look the same—they just seem too “motorhomey” inside. Many work so hard at being all things to all people that they lose their character, function, safety, and appeal. We tend to get worn out, and give up on the actual tasks we want to call our vessels on to perform; and focus on real estate criteria, like layout options and interior swatches. A walk through any marina will show that many folks end up with $500,000.00 or more invested in vessels which don’t even have helm doors, high rails to keep us on board, and hull designs that can’t decide whether to go fast, go slow, or plug along in the middle with their sterns squatted down, engines revved so high you can’t hear each other over the rattling galley stoves, and by the manufacturer’s own specifications, are slurping up 23 gallons of diesel per hour to move along at speeds that no one likes going. 12 or 14 knots in a boat is no fun. Look out on the water–nobody goes that speed. It is too fast to be moving in a comfortable, efficent manner, and too slow to be actually “up on plane”. It is with you in mind that we introduce “NIDAROS” to the marketplace. Displacing around 33,000 lbs with her full displacement STEEL hull, cruising quite smoothly along while sipping 1.8 gallons of fuel per hour, and providing all the safety, durability, fit/finish, and style that we simply thought could not exist. NIDAROS is a Michael Kasten designed, robust and beautiful vessel. She has the looks and appeal that stirs the emotions and imagination that our dream boats are supposed to. She is not designed to go 12 or 14 knots. She tops out at around 9, and cruises very efficiently at around 7, giving her a range of over 1700 nautical miles. She has a warm, bright, and comfortable interior. She was designed and built to a standard that far exceeds the mass produced offerings one would consider to be her competition in the marketplace. Not just words here. In this listing you will find over 180 pictures. The reason for this is that there is a story to tell here. Visit any new vessel mass production company’s web site and you will find only about a tenth of the information you will find in this one listing. The reason is the beutiful tug’s content, quality, features, sty
