| Nordlund 87 |  |
The way to tell a quality shipyard is by the amount of repeat
business it enjoys. The owners of the 87-foot (26.5-meter) sportfisher
El Vato, recently launched by the Nordlund Boat Company shipyard in Tacoma,
Washington, moved up from a 67-footer built by the same yard. Their new yacht,
designed for tournament-style angling, provides them with a huge amount of
additional interior volume, as well as a fully enclosed flybridge for
comfortable navigation in rough conditions.
El Vato’s owners and the Nordlund team
consulted legendary Pacific Northwest naval architect Ed Monk Jr. and
structural designer Tim Nolan on the project. JS Westhoff & Co. prepared
the interior drawings. The new sportfisher sleeps up to 12 guests in five
staterooms, allowing her to double as a family cruiser. Her interior décor
includes makoré wood cabinetry handcrafted at the Nordlund yard. Twin
Caterpillar C32 diesels give her a 28-knot top end and the range to prowl
the coasts of Southern California and Mexico seeking big fish.
