After five years and approximately, eight months of owning our Nordhavn Coastal Pilot we are now official! We received and installed our N59 breast plate this past May. Larry had ordered it about a year ago and it was shipped from China on a Nordhavn bound for Washington state. There were some issues and delays but eventually the plate arrived at our home. Then, more waiting for a break in the weather that would coordinate with our friends schedules so they could assist us with the daunting task of attaching the plate to the boat. Larry ties her up snuggly to the dock and wraps her anchor with a blanket to prevent head injuries. Rick and Ron arrive and we are ready to begin. Deep breaths and steady hands are needed now as Larry must drill over thirty holes in the boat to screw in and firmly attach the plate to the hull. Glue, drill, screw and with some muscle and finesse the job is done and lunch and beers are on Larry! Wow, she really looks like a Nordhavn now…no more guessing!
