For Sale - If you like to have “options” when you buy your boat, then Cap’n Steve has a couple for you to consider with the sale of his N-16. The boat comes with an older 4.5 hp - Evinrude 2-stroke outboard and can be sold with or without the trailer (providing you have the means to get her home by some other method.) If you’re shopping for a trailer now, or the boat, or the trailer with the boat.... then give him a call to work out the details. Email Steve at [ steve.me1960@gmail.com ] Nov-2011
Looking For - Being a “Cap’n without a boat” is hard to write home about with any great detail. Seems that “Cap’n-2-B” Mike is looking to correct that dreadful situation if you’ve got a nice N-16 that youl would like to see him have. He’s in the “U.P.” (Northern Michigan) to you Southerner’s - around Marquette but I suspect you could get him to drive a few miles if you offered coffee and scones as well. Give him a call at (906) 250-0820 or send him an email at [ mwbup@att.net ] and see how excited he gets. Don’t try to sail all summer and then call him - he was hoping to get out there himself before the ice sets in!!! Aug-2011
For Sale - Here’s a nice looking Nordica 20 for sale and waiting for you to take her home - Her Cap’n Saul says she’s a 1978 model and while he’s reluctant to part with her he knows the time has come. This boat has been very well prepared for the next owner and comes with a 1992 Honda 8 hp outboard, instruments, cushions, shore power hookup, and a self bailing cockpit. And as a very recent “addition” - she’s now ready for you to tow away with a new double axle hydraulic trailer. The “Cap’n” has a fully detailed page to send you if you’re interested - You can reach him at (905) 766-4518 - Call now before your neighbor does! June-2011
For Sale - It’s not often that you find a nice looking Halman 27 for sale but Cap’n Al has decided that the time is now! This boat is a 1981 model in good condition with an OMC - 15 hp sail drive (recently rebuilt,) dodger and bimini, new upholstery in cushions, hull and topsides repainted with epoxy, custom bowsprit with anchor roller, roller furling on the Genoa, 3 batteries (two as deep cycle) plus a steel folding cradle so you can keep her in the driveway next to the house in the winter! That’s a lot to offer - especially if you’re looking for space, grace and an occasional race! The price is $ 17,000 Cdn and she’s located near Tobermory, Ontario. When you’re finished reading this ad, go to your e-mail and get in touch with Al at [ Aldonrob@aol.com ]or give him a call direct at 519-596-8318. She’s ready for you when you are! June-2011
For Sale - You’ve heard the phrase “once in a blue moon” - well the time is now because there aren’t that many Nordica-30’s that come up for sale. The information provided is pretty limited but if you contact the owner, he should be able to provide you with everything you need to know. He’s been sailing her in the Bahamas for a few years and the boat is outfitted with a new main sail, furler, complete remodel on the inside, new solar panel and more... The asking price is $35,000 - and if you get in touch with Cap’n John at [ jmbisson@live.ca ] he will be glad to hear from you. He sent me a link to several really nice looking photos, but they’re “locked” onto the viewing site so I can’t paste them here. I’d bet he would include the charts for the way back to the Bahamas - just ask! - May-2011
Looking For - a used Nordica 16 boom - and no, there should not be a boat attached to it... just the boom! He might also consider a slightly oversized one that could be retrofitted to 8.5 feet. If you’ve got what “Cap’n JJ” is looking for, then send him an email at [ jjinchat@yahoo.com ] - May-2011
Looking For - Some help in finding a nice Nordica or Halman 20 - somewhere in the Southern California area - there’s only about 16 ga-zillion boats around there - surely someone is looking for a home for theirs and would be inclined to give “Cap’n Scot” a call to discuss it. Send him an email at [ copeland.scot@gmail.com ] - May-2011
For Sale - Are you ready to sail - I mean right now, not tomorrow or next month! If you are, then you’re going to need a boat and Cap’n Jim has one just waiting for you right now. Bring your toothbrush and your skivvies and a couple of skotchclips for the lights and you can drive away with his nice 1986 Nordica 16. She’s in good condition, is registered, has paperwork and is ready to sail if you are. With two sails, main and jib in good condition, a 1 yr old “MinnKota Riptide” electric motor, battery and solar panel (you can stay out as long as your sandwiches hold out!) The trailer is galvanized and in good condition with two new tires and one spare. Many other extras are included. She’s located near Toms River (Ocean county) New Jersey and you can get more information if you call Jim at 201-803-6986 or email him at [ mageejv@verizon.net ] - April-2011
Looking For - It’s getting to be the time of year when the snow has melted, the “rain turns to showers” and you’re thinking again - I need to sell that boat and move her to someone who would actually use her! Well, if that’s what is going thru your head more frequently - and you have a nice Nordica 16 “sittin in the barn” that you would like to find a home for.... then you’re in luck and so is “Capn’-to-be” Roger who’s looking for your boat. You just need to get in touch and work out the details. You can reach him at [ rogermatcham@yahoo.com ] - He’s in the Victoria, B.C. area and would rather spend his time sailing rather than driving back from the east side of Canada.... you know what I mean. - March-2011
For Sale - For those who have been longer term readers on this site, you might remember Cap’n Erman from one of his previous boats sold - that’s been some time ago and he’s got another one that needs a new home now... just in time to make your Christmas rather “special” and you don’t even have to wrap it! She’s a 1981 Halman 20 with a 7.5 hp Honda 4-stroke outboard, Main, Jib, Genoa, typical equipment, nice looking dodger and bimini, chemical head, auto bilge pump plus cockpit and cabin cushions that will keep you comfortable while you stir the two liquids together with ice! You can tow her to your driveway on a double axle trailer with electric brakes. This boat is in very good condition and as you can see is being stored inside for the winter months. She’s in the Oakville Marina area (about 45 min. driving distance from Toronto) so no one will know that you’re not just out Christmas shopping - Image their surprise when you get home! Seriously - give Cap’n Erman a call at (905-279-4294) or send him an email at [ catfish@pathcom.com ] and remember what always happens when a boat is being sold - there’s a good chance to make more than one person happy! Call him now. (click the icons for larger views) - June-2011
    
Looking For - Here’s a request that quite a lot of readers have made and so far I’ve not received much in the way of support for them. Does anyone have any sketches, drawings or photos of how their N-16 is rigged? If it’s photos, they have to be pretty detailed to tell much and if you’ve made some sort of hand sketches, it might be very helpful. The most recent request comes from Capn’ Paul and he’s simply trying to make heads or tails out of some of the old and seemingly newer rigging locations in the hull. After some new ones are drilled and others puttied over, it’s hard to know what “should have been done!” Send me an email if you have something to offer and we’ll get it published on the site for others. Thanks. [Lmay@nordicaboats.com]
Check the bottom of the N-16 page... there’s a link to several nice photos.
Resource - I’ve often received email questions about where to get parts for Nordica or Halman boats and the fact is... there’s not many sources but sometimes there IS A SOURCE for something that’s generic enough to be of continued interest to other boaters as well. So thanks to Cap’n Daniel - here’s a source for those of you looking for RUBRAILS for the Nordica 16’s and 20’s. It’s item # RW-56 - on this site [ http://www.spaenaur.com ] - latest word is that they’re about $2.00/ft, you get fast delivery and they look REAL GOOD! - Thanks Daniel.
Resource - One of our readers has just sent the following address to check out [http://www.baconsails.com] and find the I (P2), J, or P or E dimensions of most sails made. It will also give you a list of “suitable” sails available that they say will work well with your vessel. Looks like a good address to hang on to....Give it a try ....
Resource - Speaking of trailers - Here’s another boat trailer site that looks like they could be of help. I have no firsthand information from anyone that has dealt with them, but if you have, let me know. Thanks - LM [http://www.yachtsales.com/trailers]
Resource - You might also get in touch with Craig at [ www.NationalTrailerSupply.com ] - or call at 614-888-9540
Resource - Speaking of trailers..... - Yep we’re still talking about them..... Thanks to a good tip from “Cap’n Yvonne” you should check out this company as well. They make trailers for Nordica and Halman boats:
Marine Cradle Shop - 61 Bulloch Dr. - Markham, Ontario (near Toronto) - (905) 294-3507 Thanks Yvonne...
