Broker Comments
It is very rare for what is, in essence, a classic trawler yacht to combine timeless style with the latest technologies. This Norseman 38 however is like no other! This boat was fitted out in 2003/2004 by a previous Owner - New Yanmar engines with new shafts, couplings, instrumentation and fabricated floor bearers. Externally, the hull was sandblasted, sprayed and epoxy treated. All the windows and hatches were also replaced. With his boatbuilding background, her most recent Owner then took it a step further and beyond. Since taking ownership in 2014, the boat has been lavished upon with newly configured accommodation including the the removal of the flybridge. New navigation and safety equipment has been installed, along with a modern power system, bow and stern thrusters, and many more modern conveniences that make life on board that much easier . "Windfall" is a true testament to her Owners hard work and she will be sadly missed. .
