My Northern Comfort 43 design offers again a different keel layout, this time a lifting one.

The options are now; three fixed keels, with one feathering a bulb. Then the new lifting keel, a keel/ centre board and a full centre board configuration. The latter versions have double rudders, or even three rudders to improve manoeuvres in close quarters. The lifting keel necessitates a different interior layout as well , which is shown here. The plans as they are now, are meant for aluminium construction rather then the composite sister ships built in the last few years. Click for an enlarged version!
