85' JFA Yachts 2018 NDSE

NDSE is hull #2 in the Long Island 85 series. In the constant search for weight reduction, JFA Yachts paid particular attention to the use of light materials, including laminates on honeycomb cores for the construction of the interior, the hull out of aluminum, a superstructure made of composite, and the Mast and Boom are made of Carbon Fiber. This resulted in a lightship weight of only 56T for this 85' performance, cruising catamaran. Delivered in 2018, NDSE was designed for circumnavigation through both poles and has already been taken to Antarctica by her current owner. Whether you are cruising in the tropics or the arctic the NDSE is built to make sure you are comfortable and safe in all conditions.

Equipped with a carbon mast and boom, NDSE features a sail plan tailored for high-performance sailing together with hydraulic fittings on the flybridge which ensures she is easily handled, even with a reduced crew. Externally, the yacht offers a large aft cockpit with a relaxing seating area on starboard and a dining table on the port side, together with large sunbathing areas and a daytime toilet. In order to limit the overall weight of the boat, the use of teak was limited to the deck forward of the owner's cabin, the aft cockpit, and the flybridge.

In terms of performance under sail, she is very quick…. The sails were made by the highly respected sailmaker "Incidences" using the latest D4 membrane technology in order to combine form with stability, lightness, and longevity. NDSE achieves 11 knots upwind and 12 knots under gennaker at 90 °, with 15 knots of true wind meaning that she is capable of very good daily averages when cruising.
