Simrad Yachting and Swedish distributor, Sportmanship Marin, have been named alongside Raymarine and Furuno as preferred suppliers for Swedish boat builder Nord West.

Nord West, who build approximately 40 boats a year, ranging between 37 and 56 feet, will now offer its customers a complete, factory installed, SIMRAD navigation system.

This will include the impressive new Simrad NSE multifunctional display system and the acclaimed Simrad Broadband Radar (BR24), along with VHF and Autopilot options.

The Simrad NSE8 and Simrad NSE12 are 8-inch and 12-inch marine electronic displays incorporating “best in class” radar, chart plotter and echo sounder technology. Likewise, the Simrad BR24 is unlike anything else on the recreational marine market and will bring a host of important performance and safety benefits to navigators.

Benny Martinsson, managing director of Nord West, said: “We are extremely impressed with the Simrad equipment, especially the new NSE system and the Simrad Broadband Radar. This innovative technology will help Nord West continue a strong tradition for building quality motorboats that marry modern design efficiency with classic good looks.”
