NORTH SEA 127
The North Sea 127 - Design Criterion
This vessel has been specifically designed for ocean cruising and can easily be handled by a crew of two. The sail areas have been broken down into manageable individual sails so that, for example, in the event of a sudden squall the mainsail can be dropped and the vessel sailed to windward if necessary under one or two headsails plus mizzen.
The North Sea 127 has a considerably higher displacement than the large majority of so called 'off shore' vessels built today. this results in a much easier motion in a short sea and provides greater stability and comfort below.
The first impression when stepping aboard this craft is one of strength and safety. The deep centre cockpit with radiused coamings provides shelter and comfort. The centre cockpit and hull form gives additional safety and comfort in a large following sea but is not made so restricted in size that eight people cannot sit in comfort.
