The woodwork inside is not always of the
best workmanship and is a common problem with all Nordicas.


Craftsmanship that is COMMONLY POOR is not a good boat. It's a bad
boat. Craftsmanship that is regarded as excellent, as remarked by
owners and reviews and surveys of the 35s5 show a VERY high level.
Why not include the link showing the Nordica 30 that rotted from the
inside out. I've never even seen an O'Day look that bad.
I'm very very very sorry, Mooron, but your boat is low quality and
priced like it.

The term regarding craftsmanship is relative Bobsprit.... it's not finished
with 30 coats of varnish like on a Swan or Cabo Rico...... but it's still
real wood, oiled and w-a-a-y-y-y-y-y better than the shelf liner used in
your boat. You can't have any "craftmanship" issues... since your boat has
no craftmanship whatsoever.

Any vessel can suffer abuse.... the very fact that the Nordica 30 in
question was worth repairing indicates the value of the vessel and design.
Whereas your 35s5 wouldn't be worth the time nor effort to renovate.... the
Nordica 30 obviously was.

....and did you realize that several Nordica 20's have not only crossed
oceans but completed circumnavigations as well. I believe only a couple of
dozen Nordica 30's were ever built.....
