OWNERS COMMENTS:
We have owned “Northern Sky” for 5 years now with 4 previous owners before us. She has many additional items added to the standard specification and was Gelsheilded from new. We have found her to be incredibly fast and fun in light airs, and extremely manoeuvrable in close quarters. She has been quite the ideal boat for us with her lifting keel, and this configuration has allowed us to explore our favourite estuaries with ease.
But sadly now due to other commitments we are not using her as much as she deserves, so reluctantly we have decided to put her up for sale. She will be missed.
