Nordia 41 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Nordia 41 steel sailing yacht with center cockpit – classic ocean-worthy design by Van Dam The Nordia 41 is a name that immediately evokes associations of a sturdy, traditionally built sailboat designed for longer journeys. This 1978 Nordia 41, built by the Nordia shipyard and designed by Van Dam, combines a timeless look with a practical center cockpit layout and the advantages of a steel hull. With a length of 12.50 meters, a beam of 4.10 meters, and a draft of 1.90 meters, this vessel provides a mature sailing platform for both inland waters and seas. The boat was last out of the water in 2025, and documentation is available in the form of a 2025 inspection report, including plate thickness measurements (measured values 4.4 mm). Nordia 41 now in the online auction. Everyone can bid until April 20, 2026. Design, hull, and sailing characteristics The semi S-shaped hull gives the Nordia 41 a recognizable classic profile and contributes to a comfortable motion in waves. The steel hull appeals to buyers who value robust construction and a solid feel under sail. Weighing approximately 13,000 kg, the boat sits stably in the water, particularly appreciated on open waters and during longer crossings. Steering is done with a wheel from the outside position, aligning well with the center cockpit concept: visibility, shelter, and a secure workspace while sailing. Under sail, the sail plan is clear and effective, with a mainsail and genoa. The foresail furling system makes reefing and adjusting the sail area accessible, even with a smaller crew. The sail condition is described as reasonable. An adjustment to the mainsail with a Rake trolley system (2019) is a practical improvement that can facilitate hoisting and trimming, enhancing daily usability. Engine and maneuvering For those seeking a steel sailboat that is also pleasant to maneuver under motor power, this Nordia 41 offers a Ford Sabre 2722E diesel engine of 85 hp (built in 1994) with approximately 2700 operating hours. This power suits the size and weight of the boat well, allowing for smooth movement even in headwinds or narrow waterways. The reported consumption of about 4 liters per hour is attractive for longer motor journeys. With a diesel tank of 500 liters, there is also a generous cruising range available. Starting is done electrically. The combination of engine power and energy supply is a significant advantage for onboard living and longer stays. Comfort on board and layout Inside, the Nordia 41 offers a headroom of approximately 2.05 meters, making the stay on board comfortable, even for taller individuals. There are four fixed berths and two additional berths, making the boat suitable for couples looking for space, as well as for families or guests. The presence of a dining area, refrigerator, stove, and oven makes the interior practical for holidays and weekend trips. Hot water is available, significantly increasing comfort levels, especially when combined with the heater for warmth during cooler seasons. The water supply of 600 liters is generous for this type of sailboat, enhancing autonomy during travels. The holding tank has a capacity of 75 liters. The electric toilet is a pleasant feature for those seeking modern convenience on a classic yacht. Navigation, electronics, and power supply This Nordia 41 is equipped with a package of navigation equipment suitable for both coastal sailing and longer journeys. Onboard, there are GPS, chart plotter, depth sounder, log/speedometer, compass, wind gauge, VHF radio, and an autopilot. The autopilot has been replaced by a B&G NAC-3 with Triton2 display in the cockpit, capable of steering by compass, wind, and route (GPS), adding calm and precision on longer legs. The electrical system is set up for 24V and includes shore power, alternator, battery charger, and inverter. There are four batteries with a total capacity of 660 Ah, using Victron Energy gel batteries (2017). Additionally, a Victron Multiplus charger/inverter was installed (2018). This setup is relevant for those who anchor for extended periods or extensively use navigation and onboard equipment. A NUC mini-PC navigation system with integrated network setup and dual screens, including one in the cockpit, makes route planning and chart use straightforward. Furthermore, an integrated AIS transceiver (5W) enhances situational awareness on busy waterways and at sea. Deck equipment, anchors, and outdoor living Outside, the boat is set up for comfortable stays in the cockpit, with a sprayhood and cockpit tent providing shelter from wind and rain. Pulpit and pushpit, lifelines, fenders, and lines are present, along with a swim ladder for easy water access. For anchoring, there are two anchors with chain and an electric windlass. The addition of a 25 kg Rocna anchor (2023) is appealing for those who prefer secure anchoring in varying bottom conditions. Points of attention and recent work According to the information provided, the boat is in reasonable condition. A known issue is leakage in the teak superstructure, something a buyer can consider in future planning. At the same time, several investments have been made in recent years, including a new deck concept with treatment of the steel structure and insulation (2022) and two new GEBO hatches (2022). An automatic bilge pump was centrally placed in the boat (2021), and electrical safety was enhanced with new residual-current devices (2021). This Nordia 41 is thus an attractive offer for sailors seeking a classic steel sailboat with a center cockpit, a powerful diesel engine, extensive navigation, and ee
