The design of this Danish 28’ motor-sailor balances fast cruising under sail with safety and comfort for the crew.
The centre cockpit of the 8.6 metre “Nordship 28” features a glass windscreen, sprayhood and is completely enclosed once the canopy is zipped over.
All controls lead back to the cockpit giving the boat a dry and safe passage for skipper and crew on passage in all but the most extreme weather conditions,
A replacement canopy - with a matching sail cover - was commissioned in 2022 from Nicky’s of Brighton.
The Volvo marine 2-cylinder 18 hp engine uses around 1.3 litres of diesel fuel per hour at 5 knots through the water. Sweet Jenna’s engine has been regularly serviced, starts first-time and runs smoothly.
The three sails (genoa, main and cruising chute) are in good condition
The interior maximises the Nordship’s freeboard to give living space and accommodation for 6 that is normally only found in considerably larger boats. Fittings, equipment, upholstery and head linings are in good condition for the age of the boat.
In 2025 the keel studs, plates and nuts were replaced with matched marine grade stainless steel; the standing rigging was replaced 2025 and the Volvo Sail-drive fully serviced and sealing ring renewed 2024
