2001 Olsen Nissen 72

Designed by renowned German naval architect Georg Nissen and built by Olsen Yachts in Denmark, this 72’ modern classic yacht combines the unmistakable elegance of the great J-Class yachts with sophisticated contemporary construction and sailing performance.

ISABEL has an elegant classic profile which is smaller but nearly identical to the original J Class yachts. Her flush deck is a vast expanse of laid teak, with varnished teak trim on her fixed dodger, classic butterfly hatch skylights and a raised teak coaming surrounding the guest and helm cockpits.

She has been engineered for simple sail handling by minimal crew, with a carbon fiber mast and Park Avenue boom with lazy jacks for simple mainsail management, all sail handling winches are powered and the headsails furl hydraulically.

The Helm Cockpit is aft with an unobstructed view of the uncluttered decks and the complete sailplan, to the horizon. All engine controls, retractable bow and stern thruster controls, autopilot and engine gauges surround the helm station within easy reach. Likewise, the main sheet, traveler and running backstays are all within arm’s length of the helmsman providing full control in all circumstances.

The guest and trimming cockpit adjoins just forward, with four powerful Anderson 58ST winches for effortless sail management. Both cockpits are equipped with unobtrusive sheet storage, in combing and canvas bins, which keep all lines organized and out of the way ~ an elegant detail!

The varnished teak drop leaf table is at center in the guest cockpit with easy seating for 6+ guests, fully protected from the elements by the fixed dodger forward, which offers comfortable access to the main salon, forward below. The custom awning can be deployed for 100% coverage from the elements while at anchor or at the dock.
