GENERAL HISTORY OF THE VESSEL SINCE LAUNCH IN 2006:
READY FOR NEW ADVENTURES
Berthed in Krabi, Thailand, in a friendly marina, Tipasa crisscrossed Asian waters for years enjoying the spectacular bay of Phang Nga and the legendary Malacca Straight. Internationally acclaimed Phuket, Similans, Phiphi and Lanta islands for their spectacular scenery were also amongst Tipasa's favorite destinations. The commanding silhouette of this Nordhavn 55 is well known in the Malacca straight between Langkawi in Malaysia and Tioman island in the South china Sea.
A SMART AND LIVEABLE LAYOUT
The general arrangement of the vessel is cleverly designed with companionways and access doors between the interior and the decks. A sheltered side deck to starboard allows the crew to move freely from the helm to the cockpit for docking maneuvers without entering the saloon. Up to nine passengers and crew can live together for long periods of time on Tipasa. But rather than space, spaces are even more important. On a Nordhavn 55, each and every crew member will find privacy. With a smart flow between the saloon, the staterooms, the wheelhouse and the decks, the crew will never have the feeling that the boat is crowded.
SOME OF TIPASA SALIENT FEATURES
All of the popular factory options have been selected but several improvements have eased the daily life and operations. Boat deck arrangement: Open social space on the boat deck. Rather than using the boat's upper deck as a storage space, the previous owner decided to turn it into an al-fresco dining settee for six with teak armchairs and creating a comfortable social area. Boat deck cover: The strong stainless steel top frame (which is bolted and may be removed if necessary) and a canvas cover provide shade on the upper deck and adds space for a large array of solar panel (1000w), therefore reducing the carbon footprint of the vessel while keeping at anchor the batteries charged with free renewable energy. The hydraulic crane remains operational for heavy loads should the need arise such as loading a motorcycle. User-friendly swinging davits: The tender is stowed at the transom on a bullet-proof stainless-steel swinging davit operated by an electric winch. This custom designed davit system allows the easy loading and unloading of a 12' RIB and at the same time frees space on the upper deck for an open saloon. Moreover, this davit allows for easier and risk-free operations. Partition bulkhead: In the saloon, a partition teak bulkhead segregates the kitchen from the saloon. On the saloon side, one finds shelves for more than a hundred books. On the galley side the bulkhead is used for kitchen tools and provides a more usable layout in the kitchen. This partition can easily be removed if necessary. Beside the fact it's creating a cozy classic yacht library atmosphere on the saloon side, a separate kitchen has proven to be much more convenient and professional when a crew, chef or stewardess is hired.
