1985 Nordlund 61' Raised Pilothouse

NEW LOW PRICE! Seller will look at lower offers by qualified buyers!

Those who have had the privilege of cruising in the Pacific Northwest will be familiar with the Nordlund Boat Company. Nordlund is a highly regarded, family owned and operated, custom yacht builder in Tacoma, Washington and has a history spanning over 55 years of building some of the finest yachts in the world. The Nordlund 61 was built in a joint venture between Nordlund and Tollycraft (with Nordlund building the molds and hulls and both companies finishing hulls in their separate but similar configurations) with the Nordlund variation boasting a stand-up engine room. Both configurations remain highly sought-after cruising yachts, and "Quiet Storm" is a modernized and upgraded version of this enduring classic; available now only due to the owner’s recent move to Europe.

Over his tenure, starting in 2005, the current owner has invested heavily into upgrades on this yacht. Soon after purchase hydraulic thrusters were installed and the anchor windlass was upgraded to hydraulic. Not long after, Wesmar stabilizers were added. When the original Detroit Diesel 8-92s were nearing overhaul, the owner opted to re-power with fresh Cummins QSM-11s and replace the original generators with new Northernlights units in sound shields.

In late 2014 the yacht was transported from British Columbia to South Florida. She was lightly used in South Florida and the Bahamas and in mid 2018 an aggressive refit program was started. All major services were completed; the Wesmar hydraulic system was upgraded; new sinks and counters were installed in the galley and heads; new wall coverings and headliners were installed. In mid 2019 the yacht suffered a lightning strike that damaged the electronics, the engine computers and some electrical circuits. Since then an all new, upgraded electronics suite has been installed, new main engine computers, and many upgrades to the electrical system including all new LED overhead lighting. A new antenna arch with all new antennas and a pipe frame and canvas top was installed. Satellite TV was added and a Glendinning Joystick controller with StayControl was additionally installed. New batteries, filters, flares, nearly full fuel tanks and more, make this yacht ready to go cruising, now.

An assortment of items are currently stored in cabinets on deck and inside the yacht and under the salon settee. Buyer should be prepared to inspect and inventory additional equipment. These items include:

  • One spare propeller shaft
  • Two spare propellers
  • Three spare anchors
  • Various replacement filters and spare parts
  • All galley wares

"Quiet Storm" is one man’s million-dollar project that can be had for less than half that amount. Over $600k invested in the past 2 years but owner’s move to Europe forces sale. Some cosmetic details yet to be addressed, but all the “heavy lifting” is complete. She’s a really solid, comfortable and capable yacht.
