When, in the early 1980s, Nordic Yachts launched the Robert H. Perry-designed Nordic 44 and, shortly thereafter, the Nordic 40, the boats caught my eye. Ten years later, I began my quest for a new sailboat and, after a lengthy search, found a 1984 Nordic 40. My surveyor commented, “When these were built, nobody in the United States was building a better boat.”
Indeed, the standard Nordic equipment was top-notch: Navtec rod rigging, a Navtec hydraulic vang and backstay adjuster, and full hull insulation throughout the interior. By 1987, market pressure had forced cutbacks (from rod to wire rigging, for example), and around 1992 or so, the Bellingham, Washington, company closed, a casualty of the luxury tax.
I quickly realized that I had both a great sailing boat and a great cruising boat. Impulse is roomy and fast, the deep-draft fin keel gives her superior windward ability, she carries ample water and fuel, and she has lots of storage space throughout the interior.
The cockpit is just about perfect, with high seatbacks, wide coamings all around, and large primary winches within easy reach of the helm. All halyards and reefing lines run aft to the cabin top. The raised bridgedeck is a significant safety feature offshore, as are the numerous padeyes for attaching safety harnesses. On Impulse, the instruments, located on the bulkhead beside the companionway, and the radar, mounted at the navigation station, are viewable from the forward corner of the cockpit. When offshore, we can monitor them from the shelter of the dodger while the autopilot steers.
Interior layouts in the Nordic 40 varied. On Impulse, at the base of the companionway to starboard and open to the saloon are the nav station, a hanging locker, and a comfortable quarter berth. Opposite, to port, is a U-shaped galley with a pair of deep stainless-steel sinks, plenty of counter space, and a three-burner propane stove and oven. The huge icebox is very well insulated. (On Impulse, it’s equipped with an excellent Seafrost engine-driven/110-volt refrigerator/freezer.) Forward of the galley is an L-shaped settee with a bulkhead-mounted fold-down table, a leaf of which extends to meet the starboard-side settee. Both settees make excellent sea berths and have large storage spaces outboard. Forward of the saloon, to port, is a large head. At sea, we use its separate stall shower as a wet locker. Opposite the head are more cabinets and storage, and in the bow there’s a conventional V-berth cabin.
Ventilation is plentiful, with two large opening hatches, four dorade vents, and 10 opening ports; the insulated hull really helps when trying to heat the boat in cool weather.
The hull of the Nordic 40 is solid fiberglass. The deck is balsa cored, with solid glass under deck hardware, which is through-bolted with backing plates. It’s bedded and through-bolted to an inward-turning hull flange. The rudder is hung on a stout skeg that’s built around a stiffening plate through-bolted to the hull.
In 1999, we discovered a partial delamination of the rudder and had it rebuilt. Recently, because of a leak at a welded-on bracket, we replaced the 24-year-old aluminum fuel tank.
In 2000, to change the antifouling, we had the bottom stripped. When tested with a moisture meter, it proved to be completely dry-a good sign in a boat that was then 16 years old.
Nordic Yachts built about 40 Nordic 40s, and they appear on the market at prices from $120,000 to $150,000.
Gordon F. Meigs and his wife, Darlene, have cruised Impulse extensively on Chesapeake Bay and sailed her to the Caribbean for the 1999/2000 winter.

Factors Affecting CostBuying a yacht in Russia is a rather time-consuming and lengthy process that requires the participation of professional yacht brokers. Depending on the condition of the vessel, the year of manufacture, the quality of its equipment, class and size, the acquisition cost can vary greatly. There are several indicators on which the cost of buying a yacht will depend : - Manufacturer, or shipyard - the most famous manufacturers with expensive products are concentrated mainly in European countries, and the most budget yachts are assembled in shipyards of the countries of Asia and the Middle East;
- Equipment - sometimes the internal filling is made to order, and in some cases it is standard equipment with less power, comfort, speed, etc. In this regard, the cost of ships even from one manufacturer can vary greatly;
- Ship design;
- The age of the yacht.
Also, sailing yachts for sale in Russia cost the buyer less than similar motor lengths, but yachts with a history do not always cost less than recently launched ones. Often, the previous owners are engaged in the modernization of the vessel, installing expensive additional equipment on it or customizing the yacht - in this case, the price for it increases significantly. And sailing yachts often participate in regattas, where they can take prizes and eventually acquire a name - this also leads to a rise in the cost of the vessel. Note that the cost of a yacht in Russia will be significantly different depending on the length of the vessel. You can always check the final cost of the vessel with a yacht broker, and since this market is very lively, the price can change even during the time during which you pick up a yacht. You can find out the price of the selected vessel and its technical parameters in our catalog, and you can leave a request for purchase directly on the website, online.
