New Faurby 360 DS #25 in the water

May 1st, 2025

We are proud to announce that we recently launched our first Faurby 360 DS.

The look and feel of the new Faurby 360 DS might be familiar, as she evolved from the Nordship 360. While she is the 25th 360 hull we have built, there have been many improvements around the cockpit and deck. Therefore, as Nordship Yachts takes on the Faurby name, she becomes the first Faurby Deck Saloon, launching our new Faurby Deck Saloon range to complement the existing range of Faurby Performance Cruisers. This new 360 Deck Saloon is fully electric (although a conventional diesel engine is also available), and she has a Victron electrical system installed.

As a backup power source, we have installed a generator in the generous space beneath the raised deck saloon. We predict that over 90% of the yacht's day-to-day sailing will be solely under electrical power –most of the time, an engine is only used to enter and leave harbours. When the owner needs to motor for extended periods or when a higher sustained speed is required, they have the reassurance of the generator if they need it.

There are many benefits to using electrical propulsion, like near silent operation, but one of the most significant differences is the lack of smell and exhaust fumes as you ready the boat to leave each day. Turn the power on, and you're ready to go, unlike waiting for a diesel engine to get up to temperature.

Converting to electric power has also enabled us to free the owner from the ties of gas for cooking, so there's no need to carry (or search for) gas bottles when cruising. Also, while you might still burn your food, you're no longer burning fossil fuels in your living space, and less water vapour is released. Together with the insulation and double glazing that we add to our yachts, it minimises onboard condensation.

If you'd like to see around this lovely yacht, we have a gallery of images, a 360-degree tour and a video walk-through. But please contact us if you'd like to know more about this boat or any other in our Deck Saloon or Performance Cruiser range
