Wild Rumpus was acquired privately two years ago and even though she was in great shape then, the current owner has lavished attention (and money) enjoying several shorter cruises in anticipation of some longer traveling. After a long search, the original buyers, devoted Nordhavn followers who analyzed the earlier hulls, made informed selections to create their version of the ideal Nordhavn 50. Well beyond the halfway point in production, with the production consistent and construction refined, the demand for new Nordhavn 50’s peaked just as this special hull was ordered. She has a very graceful and elegant ambiance that the pictures indicate but that you will truly only appreciate once you step aboard. She may be all form and function from her outside appearance, and she is equally impressive inside with her teak joinery an excellent example of the best craftsmanship from the finest Taiwanese carpenters. Her white gelcoat hull and sleek Nordhavn 50 profile is accented with red stripes and the sleek but sturdy profile of this serious blue water cruiser. Wild Rumpus is an attractive trawler, inside and out. Over the last four years more than half of the Nordhavn 50’s have changed hands, a natural transition of ownership, which makes the arrival of Wild Rumpus on the market a surprising opportunity. The molds were destroyed and the 50 was replaced by the vertically larger and heftier Nordhavn 47 which offered buyers fewer construction choices in order to simplify and streamline production. The Nordhavn 50 was a breakthrough concept that, in hindsight, was available ahead of her time and discontinued too soon. Both were conceived simultaneously and share the same look and profile and their performance is coveted. The Nordhavn 50 and her larger sister the 57 are second generation models.
