Description
Chelsea Girl is a fine example of a Nordic Tug 42, ready for long-range cruising in comfort and style. This well cared for boat is ready to cruise the Great Loop, the Down East Loop or the islands. Built to take the roughest passage with confidence, Nordic Tugs are known for their exceptional build quality with a focus on building a capable and reliable distance cruiser.
The bridge on the Nordic Tug is reminiscent of much larger yachts, featuring a large chart table, expansive cockpit and convenient access directly to the deck. Powered by Cummins QSC 8.3 540 HO, the Nordic 42's top speed is 14 knots and cruises at an efficient 1.5 miles per gallon at 9 knots. Built to take the roughest passage with confidence, the hard chine semi-displacement hull gives this tug a stable and quiet ride. The full keel protecting the rudder and propeller offers the owners confidence while cruising. She features teak and holly soles throughout, a spacious walk-around queen stateroom with private head, guest stateroom with head, U-shape galley, and large salon.
