Allowing you to have a peek over my shoulder:
After extending the range of the Northern Comfort with a 44 and a 46 footer whose designs were completed a few month ago, a new project came along being a
Shown is part of the preliminary design.
Although a fixed keel is very well possible I chose once again for a lifting keel as this has become our hallmark over the past years. All the ballast is located in the bulb.
The casing is the very centre around which the various compartments are arranged.
The larger the boat the more freedom there is to do something creative in the interior.
Being predestined as a stock design there was no pressure to squeeze more into the boat than is prudent, and although all the room available is used to advantage, there are no tight situations at all.
I will keep you informed as the design is progressing.
