Navetta 64 - The Absolute Pathfinder

The already-complete Navetta range has expanded with a tangible expression of generous and open-minded engineering. All of Absolute’s best features have been implemented as well as some amazing onboard innovations.

The Navetta 64, The Absolute Pathfinder, like her siblings has 100% Navetta DNA and it easy to see why.

The wide and uninterrupted side-glass window, which runs from the aft mirror to the windshield, outlines her exterior shapes. These are characterized by the significant enlargement of the bow windows and the opening of the side gunwales in the cockpit.

In the Beach Club version, the transom can be turned from a large storage space into an actual double cabin at the water’s surface sealed tight with a fully-glazed, certified watertight access door.

Beach Club by day and VIP cabin with an en-suite head by night: this alchemy is made possible thanks to the placing of the crew cabin—with 2 berths—directly accessible from the second starboard-side door.

A triumph of livability both at daytime and at nighttime, right at the stern, right on the water!

Aboard the Navetta 64, all spaces are designed to offer the maximum enjoyment of each cabin —always panoramic and bright, thanks to unprecedented-sized windows. In addition, the spaces are furnished and refined with everything you need to feel just like at home, without any sacrifices.

The flybridge has a far greater width than found on any other 64-foot yacht. On the main deck, the salon is surrounded by frameless glass windows, offering breathtaking panoramas. The comfortable sofas, the large table, the entertainment area, and the galley—easily connectable to the cockpit—top it all off. The entire main deck is overlooked by a raised helm and a massive windshield of over 10 feet, curved and frameless for absolute visibility.

Below the deck, the master cabin is placed in the bow with a king-size berth, large side windows, and a full-beam head. The VIP suite really stands out: its livability is astounding and the materials selected are simply exquisite. Furthermore, the third cabin is a double stateroom with single beds. Finally, all cabins have en-suite heads.

A trip aboard Navetta 64.

Take the virtual tour from your laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Explore her spaces and experience the uniqueness of an Absolute yacht.

The jury based the final decision on her functionality and livability, in their words:  “She embodies the perfect combination of flybridge powerboat and explorer. The Navetta 64 provides plenty of space both in her interior and on deck. Large window frontages, as well as the innovative execution of the stern cabin with direct access to the swim platform, convey a unique sense of lifestyle on the water.”

According to a jury of nautical journalists with great experience and passion for testing: “It’s one of the biggest 60-footer ever seen. Actually it has 64’5”, so the space on board is enormous, open and bright. Adding to the incredible master cabin the new Navetta has a beach club on the aft. It’s something special.”

“The Navetta range developed by the italian manufacturer Absolute has been enriched by a new model with totally new features such as a beach club on the platform that allows you to enjoy a very nice living space near the water. To ensure that this place is perfectly watertight, Absolute has developed an automatic inflatable seal system as soon as the doors are closed. Three beautiful cabins plus once for the sailor share the lower deck, benefiting from a very nice outside view thanks to the presence of numerous glass surfaces. Another particularly interesting feature is that the main part of the fly can be completely closed.”

To continually improve its models, Absolute reserves the discretion to produce on its own boats all the suitable variations, also in waiver of the specifications contained in catalogues, price lists, technical files, internet websites, advertising, newspaper articles and in every other publication, without any prior notice: even if Absolute tries, its best to update the informative documentation, every type of quoted publication can not be considered a certain and updated source of the current executive specifications. Absolute boats are offered to the world market and for this reason they can be equipped with standard and optional equipment, different from Country to Country. The brands and the models of the appliances, audiovisuals, electro-mechanical, hydraulic, electronic, sanitary ware, thermo-technical devices, etc.. presented in catalogues, price lists, technical files, internet websites, advertising, newspaper articles, boat shows, visible on board of demonstrative boats, are n...

Viking Yachts 64 Review

• By Peter Frederiksen
• January 7, 2022

Seventy 62-foot convertibles have been delivered by Viking—six of them were used as part of the company’s demo program on the national and international stage. The popular model was highly regarded for both speed and performance. They were well-equipped and raised fish, but replacing a winner is never easy. In the past two decades, Viking has designed and delivered 550 boats from 60 to 70 feet, and there is no doubt it owns this segment of the production boating market. The new 64 is true to form, and it refuses to live in any other’s shadow.

Watch: The Marlin team explores the fishery of the Andaman Sea off Myanmar in this episode of Bluewater Chronicles .

Viking’s mantra is to build a better boat every day —a philosophy fostered by co-founders Bill and Bob Healey. These days, the second and third generation of Healeys are taking the reins, and the commitment remains as steadfast and relentless as ever as the company’s shipwrights navigate into their 58th year of building state-of-the-art tournament contenders.

The cockpit is ground zero for tournament fishing. With 180 square feet of usable space, every inch has purpose. A pressurized 90-gallon transom livewell keeps bait ready for action, and the mezzanine conceals a freezer, chiller box, and tackle and gear storage. A portside step can be outfitted to stockpile ice or utilize an electric grill. The flybridge overhang delivers spray and sun protection, and air conditioning provides a cool breeze on those breathless tropical days. Centerline finds a watertight lazarette, with an optional power actuator to access the Seakeeper 26 gyrostabilizer. Corner scuppers drain water quickly, and can also be plumbed if you choose to fish with removable livewells. Fixtures for raw and fresh water as well as quick-disconnect fittings for oil changes and filling the water tank are located beneath the coaming boards, along with both 12- and 24-volt outlets and portside and starboard-side storage lockers.

Engine Room

The Snow White Awlgrip-finished engine room is a uniform work of art. Entered through the mezzanine, headroom on the centerline is more than 6 feet, with a solid 26½ inches between the irons. A pair of 21.5 kW Onan gensets are situated aft of the engines for those who prefer redundancy, and the twin setup is flawless.

The aft bulkhead is lined with DC and Octoplex distribution panels, Mastervolt battery chargers and Dometic refrigeration. The oil-transfer system for the engines, transmissions, generators, bilge pumps and various seacocks are labeled in typical Viking fashion, and all hoses and wire-runs throughout the machinery space are chafe-protected, neat and secure. Forward finds a toolbox, AC units, and the Furuno Omni sonar tube. Movement outboard is virtually effortless, and the equipment is lined up in military precision. To port is the main switch for the Side-Power DC bow thruster controls and the ElectroSea Clearline growth-prevention system; to starboard, the Dometic-Spot Zero watermaker combo, Willy Vac and Headhunter freshwater pump are easily accessible. A Delta-T ventilation and ­water-suppression system supplies the engine room with clean, ambient airflow.

The sheer volume of the 64’s wide beam invites an uncluttered view forward—accented with satin-finished horizontal grain walnut that adds dimension throughout the interior. An electrical panel at eye level provides convenient access to the ship’s systems, and an adjacent 50-inch high-definition television rises from the cabinetry opposite the L-shaped sofa that hides significant storage inside.

A dinette is situated to port, and the raised base conceals another one of the yacht’s storage areas. The peninsula-style galley and bar feature engineered-stone counters and a pair of stools. Top-notch appliances, ample storage and premium vinyl Amtico flooring are among the standard highlights; an island galley option is available for those who prefer it.

Below, the four-stateroom, three-head layout provides the same striking walnut joinery, comfort and privacy, including a walk-around bed in the master, a choice of forward stateroom accommodations, and even more storage. A companionway laundry center adds to the 64’s numerous amenities.

Viking’s popular center-console helm station ramps up style and practicalities with a newly designed black acrylic helm dash featuring three flush-mounted Seatronx touchscreen displays. The angle of the dash brings the screens closer to the ­skipper to shorten the reach, and the entire console has been raised for better access to the radio boxes that flank the teak helm pod. Two boxes in the fiberglass hardtop house additional electronics and displays, as well as a set of teaser reels. The controller for the Omni sonar stows beneath the helm and includes a remote for the operator.

Three Release Marine Trillion helm chairs provide comfort for those long offshore jaunts, with convenient fore and aft drink boxes. Port and starboard benches provide storage, while the forward lounge sits on top of a 76-gallon freezer—another nod to the boat’s long-range travel capability.

Performance and Construction

Off the coast of Palm Beach, Florida, with Capt. Ryan Higgins—Viking’s Southeast sales manager and 15-year demo veteran—at the wheel, the 64-footer ripped into a two-way average top speed of 42 knots burning 200 gph with a near-full load of fuel. In a 2- to 3-foot sea and 10- to 12-knot northeast breeze, the boat was smooth and chatter-free; the wake was crisp and well-defined. Viking’s design manager, David Wilson, explains some of the details of this new hull’s running surface: “The refinements include the chine angle of attack and a softer radius transitioning from the deadrise to the chine. We also slightly lowered the strakes in the bow for increased spray-deflection. Moving aft, the chines widen, and together with the strakes, they provide excellent lift. We also changed the shaft angle and the propeller-pocket diameter, length and entry for better water flow to the props, and to minimize draft.”

As I took the helm, the tie-bar-free SeaStar Optimus steering connected me instinctively to every maneuver I made. Slipping along at 1,800 rpm, we were making 29 knots using 122 gallons of fuel for a range of 403 nautical miles, while a brisk 35 knots at 2,100 rpm burned 156 gph for a range of 385 nm.

The new Viking 64 utilizes the builder’s proprietary manufacturing processes, including a vinylester resin-infused fiberglass hull with composite coring ­material throughout, structural composite bulkheads and integrated, resin-infused tankage. Vertically unified from design to delivery, 90 percent of what goes into building a Viking 64 is manufactured at its facility in New Gretna, New Jersey, and the company subsidiaries—Atlantic Marine Electronics and Palm Beach Towers—help produce a turnkey product for a seamless build experience.

As Viking continues its head-down, nose-to-the-grindstone approach to the ever-evolving boating market, we are sure to see replacement models take hold. After all, as Abraham Lincoln once said: “The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it.”

Hatteras 64

• By Jay Coyle
• Updated: October 4, 2007

An extra foot and a half of beam gives the 64 a more ample saloon, as well as easy footing and stability.

The wind was blowing out of the southeast at 20 to 25 knots and the seas were running 10 feet plus—not the sort of day that most folks would look forward to for fishing. Such conditions, however, are just the brew that large Hatteras convertibles are designed for, so I knew before I arrived at Sailfish Marina in Palm Beach that Hatteras’ new 64 Convertible would be ready for sea.

I was met dockside by David Ritchie, Hatteras’ director of marketing, as well as Captain Dave Fields and his mate Danny Weid. As we were all veterans of foul-weather fishing there was no second-guessing-we cast off and headed for Palm Beach Inlet. While wide and deep, it had plenty of current to stir things up and the out-going tide was creating steep, confused seas. Fields nosed the 64 ahead easily with just enough throttle to keep her bow engaged with the breaking waves. As we passed through a solid 12-footer, we realized that the anchor locker hatch was ajar. Calmly, Fields reduced headway and after waiting out another steep sea, swung the 64 around in her length and headed back into calm water. Weid secured the hatch and we were off.

If you’ve browsed Chapman’s treatise on seamanship you may remember that steep seas in inlets are not to be trifled with. Fields was able to execute the about-face with confidence because the 64 features a key asset that lends itself to such a challenge. It has little to do with hull form, although the 64 is rather unique. It is not a matter of balance or proportion, although her form and appearance are seakindly as well as pleasing to the eye. It is all about horsepower and how it is transmitted to the water. With a pair of 1,800 hp Caterpillar C32’s, the 64 has the necessary muscle, but it is her 3:1 reduction and pair of seven-blade, 40- by 68-inch propellers that really make the difference; this is where the rubber meets the road. The traction that a deep reduction and generous propeller blade area allow is very noticeable when it comes time to spin a 100,000-pound boat or climb a steep sea.

While running inlets to pursue game fish offshore is in Hatteras’ DNA, in recent years its approach to design has changed. In the past Hatteras’ hull forms for the most part evolved from one to another. For example, in the 1980s the 60 begat the 65 and the 65 begat the 70 and so on. The result was beam-length ratios were stretched and seakeeping and speed were achieved by adding horsepower to longer, leaner forms. When these boats earned their retirement from production, the Hatteras design team chose to pen its new designs on a clean sheet of paper.

Last year I fished aboard the 68 Convertible, one of the first of this new generation. Like the 68, the 64 is relatively wide for her length with a maximum beam of 19 feet, 6 inches compared with the 18-foot beams of the late 60-, 65- and 70-foot convertibles. Her hull form is also a departure from the norm, with deep, slightly convex sections forward that transition to a deadrise of just two degrees at her transom. This shallow deadrise angle maximizes lift, while propeller pockets keep draft to just 4 feet, 10 inches. While some might feel that deeper transom deadrise is called for, I believe increased deadrise is appropriate for the portions of the hull that reside in the air-water interface-where wave impacts occur. Given responsible operation and the 64’s speed and mass, this impact zone will most likely be forward of amidships.

In terms of mass, the 64 is built like a tank. While some builders achieve high speed by investing in lightweight structures, Hatteras has always taken a more conservative path. The 64’s bottom is solid fiberglass. Coring is used to stiffen the hull sides, decks and superstructure. Fuel is carried in UL-approved fiberglass tankage-a traditional feature on Hatteras yachts. The hull and superstructure have a molded gelcoat finish that is prepped and painted with Awlcraft 2000. Below the waterline a coat of vinylester resin skin and an epoxy barrier coat help reduce the chance of blistering.

Punching through 10-foot head seas you can really appreciate the 64’s blend of physical mass and deep-reduction muscle. Advance the throttles and she responds steadily, engaging the sea without a hint of hesitation or stagger. Running in a beam sea and bow-quartering sea we managed 27 knots comfortably while the big Cats loafed along at 1900 rpm. At trolling speeds the 64 is rock-solid thanks in large part to that shallow transom deadrise. Trolling valves allow her to loiter at a snail’s pace. Considering the 64’s bulk, sight lines from the bridge are excellent and when it comes time to fuss with a fish her deep reduction allows her to twist and turn like a boat half her size. While conditions were not suitable for a formal sea trial, Fields indicated that he consistently sees a maximum speed of a bit more than 35 knots fully loaded and likes to cruise at 2000 rpm, approximately 30 knots.

The 64’s machinery space is accessible from the cockpit. The nuts and bolts of Hatteras’ onboard systems have set the industry standard for decades. In recent years, inspired by custom fish-boat competition, the builder has refined this solid foundation with a high-gloss presentation that is second to none in the production market. The 1,800 hp Caterpillars fit easily in the 64’s beamy well-lit engine space. Fuel filters are at hand on centerline and the main 12V DC electrical distribution panel is forward. There are a variety of engine options, but given the 64’s mass I would suggest the hearty offerings-the 1,800 hp C32 Caterpillars or the 1,800 hp MTU 12V-2000s.

I spent most of my time aboard the 64 manning her teak-sheathed cockpit. The layout is clean and simple with no hard edges. There’s tackle storage in removable tubs under the mezzanine sole and a freezer under the bench seating. A refrigerated drink box is located under the steps and a small bait-prep center has drawers and gaff storage. With the horizon blocked by steep following seas, Ritchie, Weid and I dealt with four bent rods without stumbling over one another and managed to bring half a dozen dolphin aboard and deposit them in the ice-machine-equipped, in-sole fish box—one of two 62-inch longitudinal boxes that are fitted with a macerator. Our test boat was set up for light- tackle sailfishing with a Release Marine rocket launcher with a rigging tray and drawer. A full-size chair is offered as an option.

Given the weather, I was pleased to find the 64’s bridge was protected with a three-sided enclosure fitted to a PipeWelders tower. A pair of Release Marine helm chairs and a teak helm pod and single-lever tournament-style controls are in keeping with custom fish-boat fashion. With a push of a button, an electronics bay with space for four large displays flips into position from within the console. An additional space with a hinged cover houses radar and sounder control heads and lesser electronics. A seating area forward of the console has rod storage and a freezer within. A rear-facing spotter seat has a built-in insulated drink box. The 64 is also available with an enclosed bridge with a helm-forward arrangement and either interior or exterior access.

You sense Hatteras’ beamy new interior volume immediately when you step into the main cabin. The split-level layout has an oversized sofa-style seating area with a table that faces a built-in 42-inch plasma TV. The raised area forward is an open-galley arrangement with drawer-style under-counter refrigeration. A dinette area is an arm’s length away. The biggest surprise is below. The 64’s three-stateroom, three-head arrangement includes a full-beam owner’s stateroom with a king-sized berth. Alternate layouts include a four-stateroom arrangement and a three-stateroom arrangement with an office. The fit and high-gloss finish of the American black cherry interior joinerwork is first class. Little touches, like the discreet air-conditioning discharges integrated in the joinery, reveal the attention Hatteras has devoted to the design. Solid-surface countertops, quality soft goods and Euro-style fixtures and hardware support the upscale presentation.

The 64 has an estimated base price of $3 million with the 1,800 hp Caterpillars. She is an impressive ride with a stout feel and a tenacious approach to seakeeping that one must experience to appreciate. There are production boats that require less of an investment and custom boats that are faster, but few are as soft to the touch, as pleasing to the eye and as capable as the Hatteras 64.

Designed to meet stringent Hatteras construction codes, it utilizes a solid fiberglass hull bottom; hull sides and superstructure laminated with Divinicell core; fiberglass stringers, with steel laminated in stringers at key locations to bolt engine mounts. All decks are non-skid surface polyurethane paint with polymeric beads. Blister-resistant vinylester resin forms the hull bottom skin coat. Engine room bulkheads and decks are resin-infused composite construction using PVC foam core, with layers of fiberglass laminate on each side. Hatteras, a unit of Brunswick Corp., launched its first fiberglass powerboat in 1959. Based in New Bern, NC, the company is recognized as a world leader in design and construction of sportfishing and luxury motor yachts from 50’ to 100’. Hatteras utilizes its popular convex hull shape, which allows for larger interior room forward, plus giving the yacht a softer ride in choppy, rough water. Yet, with uniquely designed propeller tunnels, this craft boasts a mere 4’6” draft, even though it carries the heaviest of engines. Its big CAT C-18s drive it to a top speed of 28 knots; although larger CAT and MTU engines, optional, will deliver ever higher tops.

Besides getting there in record time, comfort is also the watch-word for many long-time Hatteras owners, who return time and again to move up to their next advance in yachting. This Hatteras yacht also delivers, with a list of amenities that leads the parade in “small” luxury megayachts. Check out this lineup: The Hatteras 64' M/Y’s social center salon provides a full-beam 190 sq. ft. salon, with a strategically placed C-shaped couch in butter-soft cream leather, providing seating for six, located just athwart, facing twin, deep-cushioned easy chairs. Separated by a hefty Swedish-style oak and glass coffee table, salon space is nicely arranged. Woodwork finish throughout the vessel – black cherry wood veneers – reflects a mirrored depth of gloss that is phenomenal, sporting numerous coats of lusty, glistening acrylic. (Interior surfaces are also available in satin finish). At port forward, a 37” plasma TV fulfills entertainment needs, along with surround-sound speakers and CD/DVD. Between the twin easy chairs, fine wood cabinetry presents convenient and copious glass and bottle storage.

Three steps up and forward is the fully equipped galley, to starboard, 146 sq.ft. with the nicely fitted, C-curved dinette, to port. With under-seat storage, the full-size dining table is hinged in the center to provide full aisle-passage underway.

Across the aisle, featuring an island food-prep area with contained sink, the galley also holds an easily accessible under-counter Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer with icemaker; convection/microwave oven; and four-burner ceramic cook-top. Stowage cabinetry is copious, both up and down; countertops are solid-surface, with backsplashes. Non-skid vinyl strip flooring offers easy clean-up. Just forward, in close proximity to the dining alcove – so that diners may critique the Captain’s performance – the lower helm fully dominates the view through wood-framed forward windshields. Facing a full instrument and navigational array, it gives a total picture of the ship’s systems at all times, as well as pilot age intelligence.

Reached via a central stairwell in the galley, the bridge deck – a huge 289 sq.ft. – boasts 360 degrees of unencumbered view under the fashionable radar arch. An additional full helm offers captain’s and navigator’s upholstered, adjustable chairs, while an L-shaped lounge seats a compact crowd, just aft. There is also a dry bar to starboard, plus a refrigerator, as well as ample storage for comestibles. Beyond all that, aft, a 1,100-lb. rotational, fully hydraulic davit controls the launch of a dinghy or RIB up to 14’.

Down the central staircase (or from the aft deck) the full beam master suite is centered, fore and aft, on the lower deck, dominated by a king-size berth with twin night stands, and voluminous cedar-lined storage beneath. Spacious as this haven is, a ceiling with 6’11” of headroom may seem an anomaly on a yacht this size; but it gives the appearance of an even much larger compartment. Creature comfort is emphasized here, with a pair of dressers and wardrobes, for his and hers special arrangements without territorial conflicts, plus a private head/shower, 20” TV, and a large soaking tub. For those who require a 4-stateroom design, a special area with twin upper/lower berths can be allocated.

Forward on the lower deck, the VIP stateroom presents a queen-size berth, with stowage beneath, at the bow. Ample hanging locker space is also allotted, as well as a private head/shower.

Also on the lower deck, portside, a third stateroom offers side-by-side twin berths, with a convenient spacer-conversion to a queen-size. This stateroom also proffers a private head/shower.

Aft, down a six-step staircase at starboard from the flybridge, the aft deck presents yet another broad-shouldered entertainment area, 106 sq.ft., with a weather-proof fiberglass couch nearly beam wide, and a solid-surface table of equal length for dining or gaming. The full stern view overlooks the extended swim platform; plus, it provides night-time lighting, and stereo. To access the engine room, a gas-operated lift quickly raises the stairs, and a hinged entry opens to a maritime mechanic’s delight. (This picture is was taken prior to full completion and is for reference purposes only.)

Down below, at the heart of propulsion in the polyurethane white-painted engine room and bilge, the twin CATs purr in unison with walk-around space for servicing. Located here as well are essential equipment components: fuel tanks and filters, macerator for the holding tank, electronics voltage stabilizer/boost transformer. Also, below are the power steering mechanism, dripless manganese bronze shaft and rudder seals, water manifold block, and stainless steel rudder tie bar, sealed sumps and sea chest.

NORDHAVN 64

Nordhavn 64.

After introducing the NORDHAVN 55, which closely followed the successful launching of the new 43, 47 and 72, Pacific Asian Enterprises (P.A.E.) continues to strengthen its leadership position in long range, full-displacement passage makers with the NORDHAVN 64. The design incorporates the company’s newest styling and showcases its innovative approach to creating extra-spacious interior accommodations.

“The popularity of our 47, followed by the positive response we had to our 55, confirmed our belief that our customers want even more living space and more conveniences while they are cruising. The challenge is to provide these luxuries while maintaining the offshore capability of our boats,” said Jim Leishman, vice president of P.A.E. “Our 64 offers a remarkable amount of interior room, and she has the ability to cross any ocean. And because of modern systems she can be handled by an experienced couple, eliminating the need for paid crew.” Naval architect Jeff Leishman added, “I am very pleased with the outcome of the Nordhavn 64 design. The N64 draws on many of the elements of other Nordhavn designs, but it is also uniquely beautiful and elegant in its own special way. The N64 is nearly perfect.”

Big, Beautiful and Seaworthy   The generous interior volume is made possible by the relatively high bow and extra freeboard of the overall design. After extensive tank testing and actual sea trials of its various models, P.A.E. determined that there is no downside to adding more freeboard to its designs as long as weight is kept low. “Of course aesthetics are an issue with extra freeboard, but when we get into the 60-foot range, there is enough length to give the boat a very attractive profile,” Leishman said.

Beyond the obvious advantage of providing more volume below, there are sea-keeping advantages to the high bow and deck level. The bow provides extra buoyancy when punching into large head seas, and the deck takes on less green water in high seas. Because the added height provides more volume below the cabin sole, the engine, fuel tanks and water tanks are positioned very low, ensuring superior stability. P.A.E. is able to use its bulletproof ‘gravity feed’ fuel system, which has proven to be extremely reliable and easy to use. Corrosion-free fiberglass fuel tanks feature human-sized inspection plates, adding to the trouble free, long-term service of the vessel.

Spacious Accommodations As with all Nordhavns, the main saloon opens directly to the aft cockpit, effectively expanding the living area to the outside. The asymmetrical cabin allows for a wider main saloon and features a wide side deck on the starboard side. There are two seating areas featuring settees and tables as well as a large lounge chair.

An optional 42” plasma TV can be installed on a hide-away lift system (standard), as well as an optional Bose sound system for optimal entertainment. Three bar chairs face the pass-through countertop in the galley, which is just forward of the saloon.

The galley rivals today’s finest gourmet kitchens with its full-sized home-style appliances, abundant storage cabinets and generous counter space. Standard equipment includes a Sub Zero side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with icemaker, a 4-burner General Electric (GE) stove and oven, a GE microwave/convection oven, a GE trash compactor, Miele dishwasher and two (2) U-Line front-load freezers in the utility room.

The owner’s stateroom is located amidships, where the motion is minimal during passages and at anchor. A king sized, walk-around berth, two huge hanging lockers, a desk area and a master head finished with a tiled sole competes with the finest hotel suite. The two guest staterooms forward, one with a double berth and one with twins, share a large head.

Pilothouse With More Than A View The Nordhavn 64’s commercial-like pilothouse is located amidships for minimal motion at sea and provides excellent, 360-degree visibility. Two full-sized helm chairs put the captain and mate comfortably in command of their ship, with all electronics and controls within sight and reach.

Aft of the helm chair, a settee and table, elevated for superior visibility, will seat four crewmembers. Beneath the settee are full-sized chart drawers and additional storage. Above and aft of the settee is a double-sized pilot berth, perfect for the off-watch crew on long passages.

The standard Nordhavn 64 is provided with a spacious flying bridge. Located directly over the pilothouse, it will be the social center in fair weather. The flying bridge is equipped with a U-shaped settee and table seating four, a Norcold drinks refrigerator and a Stidd helm seat.

Long Range Capability With a waterline of just under 60-feet, the Nordhavn 64 has a high cruise speed of 10.5 knots under full load conditions. At this speed, she has a range of 1600 nautical miles. At 9 knots, her range increases to nearly 3,000 nautical miles. Her hull form, a refinement of Nordhavn’s MFD (Modified Full Displacement) design, features fuller aft sections that reduce “squatting” and pitching motion while increasing static stability.

Main propulsion is provided by a John Deere 6135AFM 425 hp diesel engine that turns a 3 1/2-inch Aquamet shaft via a 3:43:1 reduction Twin Disc transmission. This amount of reduction allows the 44″ prop to turn slowly, greatly reducing noise and vibration. A dry exhaust, a signature design element of most Nordhavns, eliminates the need for a large through-hull and raw water pump, greatly reducing the risk of failure at sea.

A John Deere wing engine with its own shaft, folding prop, fuel system and battery is designed to move the N64 at 4-5 knots in normal conditions and to make headway in rough seas should an emergency cause a loss of power from the main engine or power train. This “get home” system has proven to be the most foolproof of all types of systems used for this purpose, and it has become a signature feature of Nordhavns.

Competitively Priced The Nordhavn 64 is packed with superb equipment and features and is built to exquisite quality standards. Included in the base price are items such as ABT stabilizers, bow and stern hydraulic thrusters, davit with power rotation, wing engine, elegant appliances and fixtures, granite counter tops, 27.5 KW generator, two inverters, air conditioning, back-up systems, an anchor system and much more.

The Nordhavn line of long-range cruisers, of which there are now seventeen models between 40 and 120 feet, is built by a select number of premium yards throughout the Far East, all closely supervised by Pacific Asian Enterprises personnel.

64′ Expedition Sailing Yacht

Heyman Yachts

Nothing ordinary

Beyond the Horizon

This is one of the most interesting yachts I know: She is unusually comfortable at sea, in any climate. She is one of the safest pleasure yachts of her size, designed to be as simple and reliable as possible. And she sails just fine, despite not having a ‘proper’ deep keel.

An unusual set of properties like these obviously do not happen by themselves. In the case of the ATOA, they are in part the result of some extremely careful planning and engineering. But, to some extent they are also the result of coincidence. How did this happen?

The Atoa 64 was conceived as a competent expedition yacht – ATOA refers to Arctic to Antarctic. With a visit to the Amazon river on the way so we could perhaps have called her Atoama . The requirements were very specific:

Design Parameters

• A fast passagemaker, at least 8 knots average offshore under engine or sail – off the wind or to windward!
• Draft limited to 1,60 m and able to dry out, self-supported, in tidal waters.
• Protected propeller, good for all sorts of conditions
• Completely self-reliant.
• Foolproof keel , rudder and rig . As long as the keel, rudder and rig stays on a boat, the boat will usually be fine
• Immensely strong construction, capable of handling any weather without damage and able to go through thin ice.
• A double-ended stern was desirable, if it did not detract from the basic qualities
• A walk-in engine room, possible to do maintenance and repairs on site
• A completely enclosed pilot house from which the yacht could be handled for long periods in adverse weather.
• Cockpit as sheltered as ever possible.
• Easily handled by one or two persons
• Three cabins, one of which could be used as a crew cabin, with en-suite layout

During the project phase, all sorts of different concepts were evaluated. Our client suggested twin keels – these were ruled out for their inherently lacklustre performance. A ballasted swing keel was deemed too vulnerable, and handling it was thought too sensitive. A lifting keel was regarded not fit for the south Atlantic. Even an ordinary fixed fin keel was ruled out as being, on one hand, too deep for inland waters, and on the other hand too vulnerable for ice or grounding.

Same with a spade rudder; for an expedition yacht such a rudder would be too sensitive and would not offer any realistic back-up solution in the event of a failure.

Please note that all these concepts are fine for almost any boat and we use most of them all the time. Only, this particular yacht was supposed to be able to be fine and safe in the most remote parts of the world, on her own, and under any conditions. 

Efficiency to windward

Shoal draft keel, protected balanded rudder, daggerboards

Finally, a somewhat unique concept grew on the drawing board:  The boat would be built with a long, very shallow keel, extending all the way aft to protect the propeller and support the rudder. This would be the backbone of the yacht and allow a reasonable position for approx. 12 tons of lead ballast. 

The rudder would of course be balanced in order not to strain the helm or autopilot too much. It would be at the same time be fully supported by the keel with a lower bearing, and fully protected by the same keel. This also meant that the controllable pitch propeller would be fully protected, and the propeller would be very close to the rudder for superior handling in port.

On the outside of the engine room each side, through the side decks, there would be asymmetric daggerboards. These would provide a lift to windward equivalent to a modern fin-keel yacht with 2,8 m draft. If one of the daggerboards got damaged in the Antarctic, the yacht would still be able to keep sailing. She would lose that last edge to windward, but that would be all.

Add stability

Bunker diesel to windward, daggeboard down to leeward

Outside of the dagger boards, towards the hull sides and under the side decks, this would leave an empty space each side. Unless we put ballast tanks there. But the boat wouldn’t be happy in freezing conditions with freezing water ballast, no matter if it was fresh or salt, so we decided to use this space for spare diesel bunker tanks. 2000 litres, to be half in each tank, or all on the windward side during a passage.

Again, with the combined stability gained by the filled windward tank together with the lead keel, this would provide the equivalent kind of righting moment that one would expect from a modern fin-keel yacht with 2,8 m draft. Voilà!

If the spare diesel had to be used she would lose some 10% of her sail-carrying ability but apart from this slight loss of performance, her safety or comfort would not be compromised.  So, essentially, we were creating a totally safe yacht with 1,6 m draft that would behave like it had a modern cruiser-racer fin keel 2,8 m deep. 

As dry as possible 

Maybe the real beauty of this concept is the ability to dry out. The dagger boards serve as perfect legs. And the yacht would in such case rest on its keel bottom, not on the hull itself. In  contrast, drying out with a lifting-keel boat could be a nightmare if you discover that the hull plating is sitting on a boulder. With the thick sole of this long ballast keel resting onto the sea bed, one will still be safe.  T aking all aspects in account, we knew this design was as safe and amphibious and fast and simple we could come up with for a 40-ton, world cruising 64-foot sailing yacht. 

It never turns out the way you expect 

The ATOA was built beautifully in Enkhuizen, Holland. During the build, however, a decision was made not to build the daggerboards. We were very concerned, fearing that she would become a mediocre ‘motorsailer’ kind of yacht.

The 64′ as she turned out, with bunker ballast tanks

As it happened, the test sails with ATOA proved us all wrong.

In blustery, freezing conditions on the Ijselmeer she reached out of Enkhuizen at good speed, 9,4 knots, under reefed main and 106% jib. This was all expected, because even if she is on the medium to heavy displacement side of the scale, she is a slippery boat with a long waterline and a very fine entry.  She was easy on the helm and felt nimble to handle. Everybody perched in the forward sheltered part of the cockpit or inside the pilot house. 

As we headed up close-hauled, the speed dropped to 8,2 – 8,5 knots.The yacht made approx. 98 degrees between the tacks, counting leeway. Thus, she wasn’t very close winded, but she compensated more than well in speed. We didn’t even try to sheet harder and head up more – she had the potential, but speed seemed to be ATOA’s thing more than close-windedness.

Still, looking at the polar, with such speeds ATOA’s ability to windward would definitely take her anywhere, with panache.

The wind was a steady 24 knots, occasionally topping 28. Still with a reef in the main, we hoisted the mizzen. The speed  increased by perhaps two tenths, she needed a little more helm and if the mizzen was sheeted hard the pressure on the wheel increased but still not enough to make steering heavy. 

A little later, the diesel ballast was tested. It took around 4 minutes to pump the 2000 litres to windward, during which she righted herself from 18 to 14 degrees. She certainly felt powerful bearing away, again increasing to 10 knots, with little heel.

General Arrangement

The pilot house and the cockpit are closely connected, via a low staircase and big windows. The forward part of the cockpit is well protected under the overhanging roof and there is a huge dining space in the open or under the fixed bimini. Inside the pilot house are two sofas, with a coffee table and side tables. Visibility is excellent and under engine the yacht can be handled with ease from here.

Down the staircase forward, the emphasis is very clearly on the generous living room with its four areas – kitchen, dining, a lounging area and navigation. Forward is the owner’s cabin and bathroom. Facing aft, under the pilot house and between two watertight bulkheads, is the engine room which houses all major installations. There is good floor space and access to all installations and 1,57 m standing headroom.

Down a staircase aft from the pilot house are two smaller cabins, one en-suite guest double and a guest twin cabin. This makes use of the third bathroom which also serves as the yacht’s daytime w.c.

Forward and aft, accessible from deck, are two walk-in stow rooms.

Understanding a fast shoal-draft full keel yacht

The ATOA’s performance on the wind was unexpected and of course tickled our curiosity. Somewhat later we had the opportunity to discuss our experience with Professor Lars Larsson at Chalmers University of Technology, in Göteborg, Sweden, and later to start a study on shoal draft keel concepts. The study was conducted by Andre Sauer under Professor Larsson and Michal Orych, comparing a thoroughly modern cruiser / racer with a deep keel and the same boat with a very shallow keel. 

The two keel concepts were tested on two different hulls, one 20m long, one 10m. This time, the keel was given a slightly more sophisticated shape, with a bulb gradually turning into an beaver tail kind of end-plate back at the rudder.

The results, in short, are that the boat with the shallow keel still sails rather well. Even to windward.

Study of deep fin vs. shoal, full keel

As expected, the shoal-draft VMG (windward ability) is certainly inferior to the deep-draft boat.  Still, I am not convinced that such extremely shoal draft would work as well for any boat: Our hypothesis is that it only works well for relatively large and slippery yachts. That the efficiency of this inefficient keel is very speed-dependent. There is room for further research on this.

I am not advocating anything here. Personally, I have a very soft spot for fast and responsive boats. On the other hand, giving away half a knot may perhaps be acceptable if you are going at around 8 or 9 knots anyway – especially taking into account the way most boats are used, very shoal draft keels could perhaps be a serious option for some.  There are lovely cruising grounds with limited water… being able to enter more or less any harbour may be worth a lot more than losing that half knot.

It is interesting to contemplate this as you take a look at the market: More or less every boat has a kind of deep draft fin keel – be it fixed, lifting or swinging. If you set out to search the Internet for data on a thousand different sailing boats, chances are that you will not find a single one equipped with a fixed keel of such shoal draft that there is almost no keel there at all. Still, I think the ATOA shows that this may be a sensible option.
