The professional's opinion

Thierry, from Boatshed SudMed and Boatshed Midi Canals, is pleased to offer for sale this superb Nordship 40 DS from 2007.

Nordship yachts enjoy an excellent reputation among demanding sailors, notably for their construction quality which far exceeds typical standards. Built in Denmark by a renowned shipyard known for its expertise, the Nordship 40 DS is a robust, seaworthy sailboat, and particularly well-finished in the smallest details. On board, the quality of assembly, the richness of the mahogany woodwork, and the overall craftsmanship are immediately noticeable.

This particular vessel is a pleasant surprise. It is in excellent overall condition and has been especially well equipped for long-distance cruising, with a high level of comfort. Priced at €239,000, it ranks among the most attractive Nordship 40 DS currently offered on the European market, with a particularly remarkable balance between build quality, overall condition, and equipment level.

Its panoramic deck saloon is one of its greatest assets. Bright and widely open to the outside, it allows full enjoyment of navigation and anchoring in all seasons. The interior layout, warm and very well crafted, offers two genuine double cabins, two heads, and numerous storage spaces.

But this Nordship is not only elegant. It features an exceptionally comprehensive equipment package for extended cruising and autonomous living: generator, watermaker, heater, solar panels, wind turbine, washing machine, bow thruster, electric winch, dinghy with outboard motor, Code 0, and extensive navigation electronics.

Controls are centralized in the cockpit, and the self-tacking jib facilitates sailing with a reduced crew. The cockpit can also be fully protected, further reinforcing its character as a true cruising sailboat, comfortable and suitable for year-round use.

Offered at €239,000, I believe this Nordship 40 DS benefits from a particularly attractive positioning given the shipyard's reputation, its quality of construction, its maintenance level, and the richness of its equipment.

A rare sailboat on the market, built without compromise, ready to hit the sea again, and truly worth a visit.

I have personally visited and photographed this boat. I remain available for any further information and to organize a sea trial.

The information about the boat and its equipment is supplied in good faith based on details provided by the owner. It does not constitute a contractual guarantee and should be verified by the buyer during the visit and, if necessary, through an independent survey.
