1983 Lord Nelson -- Many Recent Upgrades

Among the well respected cruising designs such as Hans Christian, Tayana, and Baba/Tashiba, the Lord Nelson 41 is regarded by many as the most rugged, and with the most beautiful, classic lines.  TASHTEGO, with her extensive recent upgrades and beautifully varnished teak joinery, is a premier example of this respected Loren Hart design. 

Some recent (2008-1012) notable upgrades and refits include (see FULL SPECS for more detail):

• Upgraded transmission
• Standing rigging refit
• Wiring and electrical refit
• KISS wind generator
• Raymarine C120 chartplotter, GPS and AIS receiver; Raymarine E120 chartplotter and AMEC AIS unit   
• Hull “awlgripped"
• 6 coats West System epoxy barrier coat 

TASHTEGO  has been meticulously maintained since she was first launched in 1984.   As only the second owners, we cruised her in the Caribbean from 2007 – 2012, living aboard full time.  We found her to be safe, reliable, easy and comfortable.   The extensive replacements and upgrades we completed during our voyage were all made in keeping with our belief that boat systems which are completely functional -but no more elaborate nor energy-consuming than necessary- are systems that minimize repairs and downtime and maximize fun time.  

Tashtego’s full keel and exceptionally rugged construction means that she delivers a safe sea-kindly ride in rough waters, yet the ample sail plan -with her long bowsprit- allows lets her move surprisingly well in light air.   She stands out from the crowd wherever she goes.  At anchor or in a marina, she was a comfortable and gracious home, thanks to her airy open layout, beautiful teak interior, efficient galley, and convenient, extensive storage.  Relaxing in the cool cockpit at day’s end was always something we always looked forward to.  

TAHTEGO is ready to cruise immediately and will serve a new owner well for many  years to come.
