Overview

A steel-hulled expedition yacht with 5,000 nautical miles of range and a crew who have used all of it.

NORTHWIND is the boat for a charter that wants to leave the obvious circuit. Steel hull, commercial-grade stabilisers, fuel for 5,000 miles and tankage that does not need a marina every third day.

She has six cabins, a garage that swallows a 24-foot tender, and a dive compressor that gets a lot of use in the Bay of Kotor.

Refitted in 2024 with an interior that is warmer than her exterior suggests.
