Preamble

She is powered by the economical 174 HP, 6 cylinder, direct drive LP 1066T Lugger engine and has the full complement of extensive equipment including: Flybridge, FRP Stack, 1500 lb polished Stainless Steel Davit, both bow and stern thrusters, 2x Helmstands, Micro Commander, ABT/TRAC Stabilizers, 16 kw Generator, 60,000 BTU A/C and Kahlenberg Horn, ACR search light, Sub-Zero & GE Profile applicances and much more.

The Jade Explorer was refurbished in 2017 to enhance her interior and exterior and all equipment on board has been recently overhauled or changed out to ensure a quick sale with reliability and comfort being the focus. In addition to her refurbishment in 2017, her Hull was repainted in the later part of 2021. Her capabilities as a long-range cruising vessel have been tried and tested throughout the Caribbean over the past 15 years and the recent investment has been significant to ensure a “locked and loaded” ready and tested vessel for immediate enjoyment.

A Closing Note:

It is notable that continuous duty rated engines which are generally only used on commercial vessels and Nordhavns, have an expected life of somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000 hours and are designed to be overhauled to new in the hull economically. All components found in a Nordhavn were “best of breed” at the time the boat was built. The critical issue is ensuring that these components have been continuously maintained or changed out where necessary.

There is little need to worry about high hours on Northern Lights generators or Lugger propulsion engines that typically get broken in around 5000 hours.

It is also important to remember that all used boats have some degree of cosmetic degradation, both external and internal, however one will find that a great deal of effort and investment have been applied recently in preparing the Jade Explorer
