North Wind launches into catamarans

An omission which will now be made good, with the North Wind 55, a resolutely high-tech catamaran, intended for lovers of fast long-term cruising. The concept is to offer a cat which is easy to sail shorthanded – thanks to a particularly well-designed deck plan – and comfortable, but also capable of swallowing up the miles at high speeds. To do this, the builder is offering a modern hull, and above all a choice of curved daggerboards or real foils, depending on whether the owner wants a cruising or racing boat. The daggerboards are even planned to be interchangeable, if the boat’s program changes...
As for the accommodation, the quality of the North Wind boats has already been proved. For the catamaran, there are of course numerous solutions, ranging from 3 to 6 double cabins.
