Description

Embark on an epic journey with the Tom Fexas–designed Mikelson Nomad, a custom-built masterpiece that sets itself apart with available 59' and 62' configurations. A spacious split-level salon, galley and pilothouse invite extended stays at sea, while three generous staterooms, including a full-beam master, and an aft crew quarters promise unruffled rest. Elevated options include a custom flying bridge and a large split-level cockpit with molded in-transom bait tanks and a 3-foot cockpit extension. A stand-up engine room and a standard 2,000-gallon fuel capacity (with additional capacity available with hull extension) make this beauty a force to be reckoned with, and its highly efficient 12–16 knot mid-range cruise speed equals or exceeds the economy of comparable-sized trawlers at hull speed, distancing her from the “long-range cruising” crowd. Standard twin QSC-600 Cummins diesels power this magnificent vessel, with optional power packages available to suit your needs.

Basics

The Nomad carries her presence with authority: weight approximately 85,000 lbs, an 18' 09" beam, and a 5' 0" draft for confident passage-making. Overall length is 61' 04" (includes swimstep and bow pulpit), with a length on deck of 44' 08". Fuel capacity spans 2000+ gallons, complemented by 310 gallons of fresh water. Power comes standard from twin QSC-600 Cummins diesels, with optional power packages available for tailored performance.

Construction

Engineered for strength and longevity, the Nomad is built with BT/ fiberglass material over a Corecell foam core, with a solid fiberglass bottom. Longitudinal foam-cored stringers and transverse marine-ply bulkheads ensure rigidity, while cast marine bronze thru-hulls and rudder/shaft ports, all integrated into a protective bonding system, safeguard vital systems. The exterior gleams with a polished creme-color gelcoat finish and a linear polyurethane painted accent stripe, while nonskid molded fiberglass foredeck and sidedecks and stainless steel opening portholes elevate both safety and style. Stainless steel deck hardware and railing complement salon windows and fiberglass molded tanks finished with Epiglass epoxy. Below the waterline, a hull bottom epoxy barrier coat and antifouling paint provide enduring protection.

Electrical

Confidence begins with a robust 120 VAC and 12 VDC electrical panel with volt and amp meters, a 12V battery isolator, and engine-driven 12V 60A alternators feeding insulated, color-coded, numbered wiring run in PVC rectangular conduits. The engine room breathes via 12VDC marine blowers, while Guest battery-select vapor-proof switches provide safe control. Power storage includes four 8-0 205 A/H marine batteries in vented boxes, backed by three Rule bilge pumps with high-water alarm. Shoreside connectivity comes via Marinco 50' 120V 50 amp electrical inlets and a Marinco phone/TV cable inlet. Illumination is by Cantalupi lighting fixtures with decorator switches, and shipboard autonomy is enhanced by a 250/)N inverter/charger.

Mechanical

Authority on every horizon comes from twin Cummins 635 hp QSM-11 diesel engines breathing through fresh-water heat exchangers and a clamshell underwater exhaust with transom bypass, turning through ZF or Twin Disc close-coupled transmissions on an anti-vibration engine mounting system. Exhaust hush is managed by a fiberglass silencing muffler system, with cast marine bronze cutlass bearings and bonded stainless steel fabricated struts supporting hardened stainless steel shafts and counter-rotating Nibral three-blade propellers. Shipboard power is supplied by a 16 kW generator with sound shield, while a Halon fire protection system with automatic engine/generator shutdown stands vigilant. In the pilothouse, a full engine and transmission gauge suite at one station includes tachometers, oil pressure, water temperature, volt meter, hour meters and transmission oil pressure, with engine temperature and oil pressure alarms for peace of mind. Controls feature Cole Herse ignition switches and Cole Herse momentary STOP switches, Bennett hydraulically controlled trim tabs, throttles and shifts, and a Hynautic steering system. Service is simplified by a Groco oil change pump and a Racor 75/FGX dual fuel filter/separator system. The engine room benefits from blowers, aluminum sheet decking, sound insulation, and dedicated 12V/120V lighting.

Plumbing

Long-range autonomy is assured with approximately 2000 gallons of fuel tank capacity and approximately 310 gallons of water capacity, all monitored by a Hart Tank Tender fuel and water tank gauge. Comfort aboard comes courtesy of Kohler or Elkay bathroom fixtures, a Flojet fresh water pump with cartridge filter, a Groco fresh water expansion tank, and a cartridge-type water filter feeding a Raritan 20-gallon 120V/engine hot water heater; copper plumbing runs throughout. The heads are equipped with a Jabsco 12V electric large-bowl system, discharging to an approximately 100-gallon holding tank with Y-valves, a Jabsco 12V macerator waste discharge pump, a deck fitting for pumpout, and a SeaLand Tankwatch holding tank gauge.

Galley

Curated to your arrangement selection, the galley surrounds you with teak or cherry–trimmed Formica-paneled bulkheads and a varnished teak or cherry and holly sole. Provisioning is effortless with a storage locker with shelving, abundant drawers and cabinets, and an under-settee area prepped to accept an optional 100 lb freeze box. Formica-laminated countertops and door faces set the tone for a Seaward Princess marine 120V stovetop and oven, a 12V electric exhaust fan in the stove vicinity, a GE 120V refrigerator/freezer, a GE microwave/convection oven, and a Moen stone sink with pull-out faucet. Duplex 120V outlets and a cartridge-type water filter complete this seagoing culinary studio.

Stateroom

Your private quarters, designed per your arrangement selection, are refined by a “special decor allowance” covering carpeting, countertops, headliners and more, with teak or cherry hand-rubbed varnished bulkheads and a deluxe vinyl headliner. Berth configurations are set per arrangement, with custom-fitted foam mattresses and veneer cabin soles underfoot. Comfort touches include overhead 12V light fixtures, mirrors per selection, abundant drawers for clothing, an auto-lighted hanging locker, stereo speakers, a built-in 13" TV/VCR to antenna in the master stateroom (x one stern), CruiseAir air-conditioning with reverse-cycle heat, a telephone outlet in the master stateroom, duplex 120V outlets, opening portholes, and gentle indirect back-lighting. Teak or cherry entrance doors with Baldwin latches greet you, and an aft crew stateroom completes the accommodations.

Salon

Shaped by your arrangement and enriched by a “special decor allowance” for carpeting, countertops, headliners, valances and drapes, the salon welcomes you through an anodized aluminum/glass locking entry door to teak or cherry hand-rubbed varnished paneled bulkheads beneath a creme-color or light grey deluxe vinyl headliner. Teak or cherry varnished decorative overhead handrails frame a ship’s alarm status panel for high water and fire. Entertain with ease at a wet bar with a U-Line USA refrigerator/icemaker, settle into two barrel chairs or bar chairs per your selection alongside an L-lounge settee and a coffee table in matching varnished wood, and enjoy indirect back-lighting at the valances with overhead light fixtures. The entertainment center features a Kenwood AM/FM stereo receiver, CD player, a Panasonic 27" stereo color TV and VHS videotape system with a boosted omnidirectional antenna. CruiseAir air-conditioning with reverse-cycle heat, tinted safety opening glass windows with screens, duplex 120V outlets throughout, a standard telephone outlet, and a large equipment storage room below the Lanai deck make every moment at sea effortless.

Cockpit

Purposeful and poised, the cockpit features teak strip-bedded decking over fiberglass and a scuppered gelcoat cockpit and hatches that shed water cleanly. Anglers will appreciate a fishing tackle center, five flush-mounted stainless steel rod holders, a transom dual-tank bait system, and an overboard-hinged stainless steel swim ladder serving a molded fiberglass swim platform and gelcoat transom cap. Days aboard are refined with a hot/cold fresh-water recessed hand-held shower, ample storage lockers with an access hatch to lazarette storage areas, a stainless steel ladder to the boat deck with teak steps, a duplex 120V exterior covered outlet, one set of exterior stereo speakers, and 12V courtesy lights throughout.

Flybridge

The flybridge inspires command with a well-laid console and seat/helm arrangement, VDO engine instrumentation, intuitive controls and Hynautic hydraulic steering set around a stainless steel wheel. Navigation remains surefooted with a Ritchie or Danforth lighted flush-mounted compass, while guests relax on bridge seating with 4" vinyl-covered cushions.

Deck

Every detail on deck serves both function and finesse: a trumpet-type horn calls the watch, while a Par 12V halogen foredeck flood light pairs with two cockpit flood lights to illuminate the night. Navigation lights and an anchor light stand ready above a fiberglass deck hatch over the anchor system, where an anchor chock with chain roller and anchor pin streamline deployment. Stainless steel #316 deck hardware, bow and stern cleats with chocks, and stainless steel stanchions and railing define the perimeter, complemented by Lewmar opening tinted aluminum deck hatches. Ground tackle management is effortless with a Muir under-deck HR 2500 anchor windlass, supported by a fresh-water anchor washdown faucet and stainless steel side deck fills for fuel.
