A well-equipped Nordship 40 DS that combines classic Scandinavian deck saloon design with high comfort, solid build quality, and reliable sailing characteristics. The raised deck saloon with large glass areas creates fantastic light entry and provides excellent visibility even from a seated position, making the boat unusually pleasant both at sea and in port.

The well-considered equipment makes the boat well-suited for both longer voyages and comfortable living on board for much of the year. On board, you are greeted by a warm and cozy feeling with practical solutions, generous spaces, and a high degree of self-sufficiency that makes the boat equally pleasant in natural harbors as during longer crossings.

The protected cockpit solution combined with dual cockpits provides both safe sailing and generous social spaces. At the same time, the teak deck, integrated swim platform, and an extensive canopy package contribute to an elegant and functional whole. The boat is CE-certified in class A Ocean and built for safe sailing even under more demanding conditions.

Very sparingly used in recent years, with an estimated mileage of only about 300 nautical miles since 2019.
