A quich Hello from Copenhagen:-) We have just been discussing, that we rarely se any nic 38 with bow thrusters for sale. Of course they have their have their advantages and disadvantages (+ when coming into a small port) (- price, drag, other) So, anyone got one…? Best regards |

Hello Hans, I am also in the Mediterranean, and have been considering a bow thruster for some time, usually when I am reversing to a pontoon! |

There is an Atlantic 40 in my Yacht club with a bow thruster. I will ask about it. It is on the hard & I know the owner by sight. |

Harlequin has a Sleipner bow thruster and I find it essential when reversing into a mooring singlehanded in the med. You have no steering in reverse on the Nic38 and the slightest cross-wind can make things really interesting. Had a problem with the bow thruster one season – it was the first thing on my list to get fixed the following winter 🙂 Andy |
