ASKING PRICE FOR A 150FT ALUMINUM GERMÁN FRERS

DESIGNED SLOOP HULL BUILT BY DERECKTOR IN 2001

AND RECENTLY LISTED FOR SALE ON EBAY

Quietly working in Tacoma in

Washington, the Nordlund

Boat Company continues to

build custom boats for clients

who seem to have an aversion

to marina living. Once they

leave, the Nordlund boats

often stay away for months.

This custom 115ft expedition

yachtfisher by Nordlund is

getting ready to prove its might

later this year. It has ambitious

cruising plans, including a

maiden voyage to Nova Scotia.

It is a fishing platform and

long-range cruiser in one, with

an expected range of 3,000nm

at 13 to 14 knots. Along with

200-gallon bait tanks, a remote

steering station and a crow’s

nest are entertainment areas

and spacious cabins. The build

team included the owner’s

captain, naval architect Ed

Monk Jr, Tim Nolan Marine

Design and the Nordlund

craftsmen. nordlund.com
