NEW FOR MONACO · OUR DESIGN OF THE NORTH WIND 100FT
ONE OF SPAIN’S MOST RECOGNISED YACHT BRANDS IS NORTH WIND AND WE WERE PLEASED WHEN
THEY ASKED US TO DESIGN AN ALL NEW 100FT / 30M ADDITION TO THEIR CRUISING RANGE.
North Wind were looking for a contemporary deck saloon of attractive proportions, and by starting with a generous beam, we positioned the cockpit
coamings as far out as reasonably possible, and maximised external space by creating a truly expansive aft exterior lounge/cockpit, where a
Mediterranean lifestyle can be fully appreciated.
Designed symmetrically, the cockpit has two discreet steering positions adjoining the rear of the
deck saloon which has eliminated the take-up of space normally reserved for a central wheel. A hydraulic ‘transformer’ platform serves either as a
traditional passerelle, as fully
adjustable boarding steps, a
swim boarding ladder, a tender
lift or equipment loading
platform.
In addition to the
5m long master cabin, one other
fairly unusual characteristic for a
yacht of this size is inclusion of
three double guest cabins.
The master benefits from twin
bathrooms, private access to the
transom and great views of the
ocean, even from lying in bed!
The guest cabins are pretty
much the same physical size and,
again, large windows means
increased internal light. An all
carbon, self-tacking cutter rig accentuates an ‘easy-to-handle’ mentality. And the hull
effectively ‘wraps’ itself over the top of the bulwarks to create a smooth integration
where hull meets deck. Inside the lounge and dining areas are connected on the
same level without guests having to contend with steps as is so often the case. An
internal steering position with small navigation table completes the picture.
With
a forty year heritage
to fall back upon, we
believe North Wind
will
soon
be
attracting customers
once again.
