The North Wind 56 is a 1989 fiberglass cruising yacht built for extended voyages and comfortable living aboard. Her design combines a wide beam with sturdy construction to deliver stability and spaciousness across all sea conditions. The boat is known for strong upwind performance and responsive handling, with a mainsail furling system that simplifies sail management, particularly useful for a small crew.
Below deck, the interior showcases traditional North Wind craftsmanship with quality woodwork and a thoughtfully planned layout. Four cabins provide accommodation, supported by three heads and generous storage throughout the yacht. The living spaces are designed around extended cruising, with ample room for provisioning and comfortable passage-making.
A Volvo 130 hp diesel engine powers the yacht, delivering economical cruising speed with straightforward maintenance. The hull was repainted eight years ago. Both engine and generator have received annual professional service.
