Three Nordhavn Yachts' Owners Buy A 20-Year-Old Hull From The Brokerage Market

A Classic Move

The Nordhavn brand, since its founding in 1978, has been synonymous with bluewater builds that make circumnavigation dreams come true. On the brokerage market, buyers sometimes wait eagerly in the wings for years, hoping out-of-production favorites will pop up for sale.

As it turns out, the three owners of Nordhavn Yachts—Dan Streech, Jim Leishman and Jeff Leishman—are mere mortals in this sense too. They recently bought a boat of their own, and they went with a Nordhavn 57 that Jeff Leishman has really liked ever since the day it came off the production line two decades ago.
