Nordhavn Co-Founder Jim Leishman

Jim Leishman first built sailboats before launching Nordhavn and shifting to long-range, full-displacement trawlers. Over the last three-plus decades, Nordhavn has designed and built a line of robust vessels from 35 to 120 feet, earning accolades as one of the most esteemed brands in the recreational trawler market. Leishman talks about the success of the new N41, what’s next from its Turkish yard, building fast trawlers while still staying firmly in its full displacement lane, and introducing new technology to venerable builder’s model line.  Learn more about your ad choices.
