Jim Leishman, Dan Streech, and Joe Meglen formed a small brokerage in Dana Point, California in 1974, today known as PAE (Pacific Asian Enterprises). PAE began its operations with importing Transpac Yachts from Taiwan. The first Nordhavn was the N46, a new kind of powerboat that was introduced in the late 1980’s during the decline of the cruising sailboat market. Nordhavn’s fleet ranges from 40 to 120 feet. With each boat it sells, Nordhavn ensures the ability to power with confidence across any sea or ocean in safety and comfort.
