Not much I can add to this discussion except: do not discount the 63’ MY either. The 61 is a 56’ My with a 5’ extension and the 63 is a 58’ MY with a 5’ extension. The extra 2’ is not going to be noticed in the marina, but it will be in terms of living space.

I dont know if the owner actually chartes it because 2 years ago it was not available for charter. Some these sights take a little poetic license.Scott

LRC is overrated. Hard chines, windows that won't survive true blue water encounters, doors that don't seal well enough for major storms. It's a semi-modified hatteras motoryacht with smaller engines and bigger tanks. It is not a Nordhavn.

However, a Hatteras LRC completed the Nordhavn Atlantic Rally a few years back. All the way to Gibraltar, if I am not mistaken.
I've seen a 58LRC hauled out. It's been a few years, but I had the impression it was a rounder hull, a displacement design.

That's not really my interpretation of a vessel with hard chines. It a couple of chines with the most significant portions certainly being well rounded. Even the "hard chine" portion is a rather large angle that at least approaches 135.
I do agree that it's a little light on power.Last edited by rtrafford; 06-23-2020 at 08:58 AM.

Interesting photos. I wouldn't exactly call it a hard chine, it's rounder than a MY or convertible, but it's not as round as I would have thought. So I guess it's a semi-displacement hull but with displacement power. l

Re: Trying to decide 58 LRC or 58/61 Motoryacht.
The flatter aft section makes some sense in terms of reducing roll through form stability vs. a purely rounded hull. As an additional observation, the hulls of most Nordhavn models have flatter aft sections as well.
In terms of their seaworthiness, the only comment I would have is that I have seen a few with US home ports in very distant ports including a 58 LRC that I saw in Fremantle, Western Australia which is about as far away as you can get.
