The Back Story:

Nordhavn Fights To Survive After Boat Deal Goes Awry at Canada Border

Bob Conconi, a wealthy Canadian businessman and philanthropist, was overjoyed with his new Nordhavn 120 when he wrote: “You have to experience the majesty of Aurora, her stature and magnitude to get a starting point as to your feelings. She is impressive beyond my or Diane's expectations. She exceeds every dream we have had over the last four years in the build process.”

That was in August 2013. A year later Conconi refused to make the last $722,000 payment on the boat. Nordhavn’s builder, Pacific Asian Enterprises, sued to collect its money, and Conconi countersued, alleging that he had been “fraudulently induced” to purchase Aurora and that the boat was a lemon under California law.

On June 17, 2016, with 30 Nordhavn employees packing the back benches, an Orange County jury found for Nordhavn on all counts. Nordhavn received its final payment, and the trial judge awarded Nordhavn attorney fees.

Despite the drama, Aurora was resold. At the moment, she has reportedly transited the Panama Canal and is cruising the East Coast. A higher court is expected to release its decision on Conconi’s appeal in September—an appeal based entirely on rulings made by the judge, not facts in evidence.

Nordhavn won!
