MarineWorld / Nord boats Nord 480
Nord is a trademark which the Estonian company Marineworld brought onto the market following the example of Norwegian sea-secure boats. The first prototype of the Nord 460 series was produced in 2011. The goal in designing the boat was to make it comfortable, sea-secure and easy to launch and retrieve from its trailer. The selection of Nord boat hull types and modifications is also simple. There are three types of Nord boat hulls: the 460, 470 and 480. From each type, one can choose between the following models: the Classic (outboard motor and tiller steering), the Comfort (one side console with windscreen) and the Commander (central console and walk-around). Although the selection of Nord boat models has remained the same in 2013, Marineworld has made various improvements on all of its boats. The main changes include a better layout of storage areas and a stiffer hull. Customers can select their own sets of accessories and additional equipment: upholstery, boat covers, railings etc. The most attention has been paid to the models exhibited at the Hanseboot boat show: the Nord 460 Classic, Nord 460 Comfort, and Nord 480 Commander. In Marineworld’s product selection, you will also find the small boat Hunter, a catamaran type craft of 249 cm. As its name suggests, the boat has been specifically designed for assisting hunters and fishermen in their activities in low water areas, lakes and rivers. The Hunter weighs around 50kg, so it can be launched and retrieved by a single person. The boat is constructed so that it can also be used as a sledge in winters, for example to pull fishing gear behind a snowmobile. www.marineworld.ee
