Leif Tufvesson uses the innovative word ‘Yachtomotive’ to explain his intention to make the new Nord C Fortyfive truly unique by bringing the best of his world-famous bespoke supercars into the marine environment.
“Yachtomotive doesn’t mean that the yacht will look like a sports car with a keel instead of wheels. It’s more about elevating the craftsmanship to a completely new level, even when you compare it to the most luxurious boats in that size,” Leif explains.
Those who has seen the special cars (link to Caresto gallery) created by Leif already know that Nord C Fortyfive owners will be treated to an exceptional experience; exquisite materials, beautiful surfaces and almost invisible spacing between exterior and interior details.
“Even considering that boats are exposed to rougher conditions than cars, I feel that today’s yacht builders compromise too much with quality and attention to detail. We will prove that it is possible to do things differently by using automotive ideas to solve marine challenges,” says Leif Tufvesson.
When asked about areas where his automotive heritage can be used to challenge marine traditions Leif mentions hull protection and covers.
“We will find a way to protect our beautiful hull made of reused aluminium without disfiguring rubber strips or chubby fenders,” Leif says. “Manual fittings for a potential cover are also banned on our yachts. If we use a cover, it will be power-operated and have the same snug fit as the top on a modern convertible.”
In addition to the Yachtomotive direction, Nord C Yachts also breaks new ground in the boating world by combining its outstanding luxury with a truly circular approach to design, development, production, distribution and use.
Leif Tufvesson is responsible for translating the circular economy’s cornerstones – maximizing resources and minimizing waste – into the company’s first yacht. The sustainable approach includes an electric engine combined with a range extender for clean power and safety at sea.
“The ‘C’ in our brand name is the expression of our belief that luxury boating beyond premium also includes the responsibility to treat our planet with the respect she deserves,” says Thomas Andersson, the other co-founder of Nord C Yachts. “This will enable us to bring the liberty and openness that can be uniquely experienced at sea to an entirely new level.”
