Fjord just launched two new 39-foot boats, the entry level to its German-built fleet with its iconic minimalist look that goes up to 53 feet.
The two new boats are called the 39XL and the 39XP. The major difference is that the XL is powered by twin 320-hp Volvo D4 diesel sterndrives, with 440-hp D6s as upgrades. The XP comes with twin 400-hp Mercury Verado outboards, providing a top speed of 45 knots. Both boats have joysticks at the helm for fingertip docking and low-speed maneuvering.
Fjord is part of Hanse Yachts. The European market traditionally favors inboard and sterndrive power, while the American market is increasingly tilting to outboard power, particularly in this size range.
The new Fjords were designed by Patrick Benfield, the well-known British designer, with an emphasis on performance, seaworthiness and creature comfort. They have a large T-top for some weather protection; Fjord says it’s the largest in its class. Two seats face the helm on the starboard side. A small galley and three fridges are options on the main deck. Owners can choose among several windshield designs.
Two tables serving eight people can be lowered in the cockpit to form a large sun pad. Wide side decks lead to the foredeck, with another sun pad.
Below, the Fjords have a two-person berth in the bow for overnights, plus a full head with a shower.
“The Fjord 39 is the logical new development of our entry-level model in the unique Fjord class,” said Andrea Zambonini, the company’s product manager. “It offers everything that characterizes the core of these iconic yachts. Power, design, and comfort, fully throughout, and high quality.”
