THE FINER POINTS

Quick makes two X10s: the MC2 Quick Gyro DC, which is for 12-volt DC systems (130 amps), and the MC2 Quick Gyro AC, which is for AC systems (8 amps). The X10s have a 19.5-by-23-inch footprint and weigh 664 pounds. Quick achieves the latter metric by using light weight materials, including Ergal, an aluminum alloy with corrosion-resistant coatings. The X10s also have new anti-vibration mounts, which are smaller and quieter than their predecessors. Inside sections are treated with polymeric base materials to absorb noise and vibration.

The rough climate brought on by early April’s winter leftovers wasn’t a concern. Neither, really, was the rough climate of a pandemic world. This was, quite simply, a wonderfully uneventful 600 nm delivery of a brand new Nordhavn 68.

Who knew uneventful could be so exhilarating?

Quite like the boat being delivered – a standard-layout, no-frills N68, whose beauty shone in the wonderful details of its simplicity and purpose – was this trip from Anacortes, Washington to Ketchikan, Alaska. Winding through the straits of British Columbia and overnighting in the region’s quaint harbors, battling snow and wind in Mill Banks Sound and having the Grenville Channel to themselves, the crew of Daybreak celebrated what being on a Nordhavn is all about no matter the time of year, destination, or global condition.

If a workhorse of a trip can produce such an inspiring journey, imagine what your Nordhavn could do for you.

“The area is worth days and days of exploration. Beautiful, beautiful harbors that are one hundred percent protected give way to perfect anchorages. We were comfortable, well-rested, and just awestruck by how fantastic the scenery is.”

- Jim Leishman, VP Nordhavn Yachts
