1998 Nordic Tugs 32

OVERVIEW

Charley's Tern is a well-loved 1998 Nordic Tug 32 with one owner since 2009. She has been professionally maintained, winterized every year, and stored on the hard each off-season. She has cruised Florida in the winter and New England in the summer, joined Nordic Tug rendezvous, and spent years exploring the Chesapeake and its major rivers. She is fueled, cruise-ready, and comes with tools.

The Nordic Tug 32 is one of the most respected small cruisers ever built. Designed by Lynn Senour and built by Nordic Tugs in Washington State, she has a full-keel, semi-displacement hull. She runs efficiently at displacement speeds and has the power to pick up the pace when weather or schedule calls for it. Her manageable size and simple systems make her a favorite of cruising couples and Great Loopers.

ACCOMMODATIONS

The forward stateroom has a double berth and generous storage. The head is to starboard, with a separate stall shower and VacuFlush toilet. Up from the stateroom is the pilothouse, which offers near 360-degree visibility, a side-by-side helm seat, and port and starboard sliding doors for easy deck access. Aft and down is the salon. To port is an L-shaped galley with a propane stove and oven, microwave, and side-by-side Nova Kool refrigerator and freezer. To starboard is an L-shaped settee that converts to a second berth. Teak joinery throughout is in very good condition. Interior soft goods show their age, and that is reflected in the price.
