We finally did it!
The new Airship is a 2006 Nordic Tug 42 flybridge model. We always said we didn't want a flybridge (because, solar!), but she's got one, and I'm sure we'll eventually be totally on board with the flybridge concept, especially after the weather warms up. She's got a Cummins QSC 8.3L 540HP common rail turbo diesel engine, an Onan 9kw generator, and SO. MUCH. ROOM! Two staterooms, two heads, a large cockpit, and oodles of storage and upper deck space make this 42 foot boat feel palatial compared to our 34 foot boat.
Back when we were on the outside of Vancouver Island, we learned about this boat from a friend and decided to go take a look after the flotilla ended in Victoria in mid-Septmeber. We liked it quite a bit, and subsequently listed our 2013 NT34 for sale with Korey Scott at Seattle Yachts. Korey agreed to help us with the purchase of this (unlisted) Nordic Tug 42, guide us through the import process (the NT42 was a Canadian registered vessel out of Sidney, B.C.), and of course, help us sell our current boat.
