New Northshore 54
Posted on 11/16/2006 CST @ 11:46 under: Cruising Sailing Yachts, Northshore
Innovative design, contemporary styling, powerful sailing performance, superior build quality and luxurious accommodation are all hallmarks of the New Northshore 54, designed by Dixon Yacht Design and built by Northshore Shipyard.
This ultimate blue water cruiser offers the very best in cruising yacht design. The hull is characterised by a long waterline, fine entry and beam carried aft to ensure the highest degree of performance, comfort, stability and safety.
The aft cockpit is extremely spacious, yet secure, with comfortable seating and a large cockpit table for entertaining guests in style. The optional mainsheet arch keeps the cockpit clear and uncluttered, whilst also providing the frame for a bimini, for use in hot climates. The twin wheeled helming position allows the helmsman to enjoy the powerful performance of the yacht, with dedicated areas for sail controls and sailing short handed. Further seating aft allow for guests to relax in comfort, whilst enjoying all round views.
The New Northshore 54 is primarily designed for easy handling, and can be sailed by just two people. The tall powerful rig with swept back spreaders and in-mast furling will keep the yacht sailing fast in all weather conditions, with minimum effort. The double headsail is suitable for most wind conditions and sailing environments; the self tacking jib allows you to sail easily on short tacks without any effort - ideal for coastal cruising.
The overlapping genoa enhances upwind performance in light airs, and together, the double headsail is perfect for down wind trade wind sailing. The standard specification includes a lead fixed keel with the option of shoal keel or swing keel for sailing in shallow waters.
