Helping to lift the glamour levels is a skylight cut
into the deckhead with an Ocean Air shade and
blind, while numerous LED spots look the part too.
The saloon follows a conventional form with a
crescent of seating (finished here in optional
leather) and a folding table, which drops to make a
berth. Opposite lies a well-stocked galley. You get a
proper recessed gas hob – the type you can use at
sea and everything – a large, brushed steel fridge
and what looks like two ovens. But wait, why would
you need two ovens? You wouldn’t – the second
one, higher up, isn’t an oven but a waterproof TV to
serve the saloon. This is a nice touch, especially as it
also acts as a door to a bespoke crockery locker.
With the forward master cabin, toilet and shower
compartment exactly the same as those seen on
the Flybridge and Coupe versions, it makes sense
to focus on the mid cabin which, happily, is a
winner. There are larger guest cabins on boats in
this class – the Bavaria 35 probably has more overall
space – but it is how Nord West uses the available
space that impresses. An L-shaped sofa welcomes
you in to a cabin with lots of soft linings and
timber that create a
really cosy environment

For such a practical and thoughtful sort of
boatbuilder, one of the surprising issues on Nord
West’s sportscruiser concerns deck access. The
huge wall of GRP that makes the cockpit so safe
and secure is part of the reason, requiring a climb
up to the side decks from inside. You can also
access the side decks from the bathing platform
but the system of teak-clad steps feels like a bit of
a song and dance, well more of a dance
than a song. It’s fine once you have the >> The mid cabin is very inviting with a neat sofa and lots of stowage Carl tries to find an unfinished bit
