Sometimes when I have been neglecting this news page for some time, people ask what is on the board at present. The answer for now is “ just an other aluminum Northern Comfort”.
After the lifting keel version of Northern comfort 43, I decided that the Northern Comfort range could be extended with a larger type, around 46 feet hull length and having a lifting keel as well. Some idea’s which would not fit very well in the smaller version could be accommodated in the extra room available. The results give a remarkable sense of space below deck. Like my Atlantic 48 design she will have double rudders and twin steering wheels. I choose this time for a plain fractional sloop rig, but as she plans will not be exclusive for one yard, there is little which can’t be readily modified to suit owners whishes.
