I don't know what Nordhavn uses, but there are several grades and

It's not great for use in boats because after awhile it gets moldy and
smelly.

Go look at a 20 year old Bertram that has been well maintained.

Lots of things on a boat foster mold more readily than formica,
including wood. I've read mold can even etch the glass of binoculars.
But if something stinks, hey, blame the formica.
