After looking at several boats and reading about others, I purchased a Nordic 34 last Spring. She is quite fast and handles beautifully.
The keel is a bit deep for the Chesapeake Bay however, and her cockpit is small. Otherwise it's a perfect boat for me.
I would be interested to know if any Nordic owner has fitted a new stem head with a bow roller.
Thanks for your reply!

Just an update on Rover:

I raced her in the Annapolis to Bermuda Ocean Race last year and we came in second in our class and fourth over all. She handled well at sea, and I'm considering racing again in 2016. I am not really a racer, but rather a "performance cruiser" so I went into the race with the expectation for a fast cruise; not a "full-on push the boat as hard as possible" race.

She is now nearly 30 years old, so I am slowly replacing systems as they age beyond repair. While doing so (replacing through hull fittings) I have discovered that the hull is very solid. That's reassuring when sailing off shore especially.
