Overview

The Perry-designed Nordic 44 has achieved cult-like status for its reputation as a reliable offshore cruiser with excellent sailing characteristics. Very rarely does one find a boat at this price point that can be taken confidently off into the sunset.

QUINTESSENCE is just such a boat, ready to go, equipped with ICOM SSB, Monitor wind vane, wind generator, staysail, storm jib and more. Her spacious two-cabin/two-head layout in teak joinery features a large galley, nav station and plenty of storage.

A real brute of a boat that looks great and sails like a dream.
