Quote from the founder of Nordship Lars Buchwald in a boat review for yacht. a boat review for yacht.de: "I want to get my customers out of the basement".

Nordship Yachts is a recognized Danish shipyard in Lundeskov near Kolding, known for their uncompromising craftsmanship, thoughtful solutions and beautiful boats built for both comfortable long-distance sailing and elegant leisure use. For decades, the yard has delivered sailing yachts that combine classic craftsmanship with modern sailing characteristics and are appreciated by sailors around the world.

The Nordship 35 DS is one of the yard's most popular models, designed in 1992 by Elvström/Kjaerulf. With its spacious deck saloon layout, solid construction and timeless lines, it offers both great sailing performance and comfortable living on board. The deck saloon offers great visibility below deck, and the rich mahogany interior creates a warm and maritime environment. This is a yacht that is ideal for longer trips as well as weekend cruising in domestic waters.

Built in 2000, the Nordship 35 DS "Taurus" is a well-equipped and well-maintained cruiser. The boat is constructed in fiberglass with teak decks and teak in the cockpit, providing both elegance and practicality. The hull is white with blue trim, the keel is a fin keel, and the boat's dimensions provide a good balance between stability and speed.
