| Inventory | Certificates & Guaranties North Wind yachts are fully compliant with EC regulations, and are classified in the Ocean-going category
North Wind can manufacture under the standards of any classification agent. North Wind hulls have a 5-year guarantee against osmosis. Construction Hull and deck of sandwich-type construction, made under the strict control of the technical specifications of the process. The hull is laminated using the resin infusion technique. The method reduces the atmospheric emissions of styrene, produced by the catalysation of the resin, and it also cuts down on the amount of resin used in the hull, improving the structural strength of the hull, among other mechanical properties, obtaining a stronger, lighter hull. The hull is laminated using the infusion technique, with vinylester resin, which, due to its low permeability protects both the wet and dry side of the hull from osmotic processes. The sandwich laminate, with a PVC core, is compressed by suction using an air lock and vacuum pump, leaving the laminate bubble free, and obtaining the optimum impregnation of the fibers, with a uniform distribution of the resin throughout the entire hull. The optimal impregnation of the fibers minimizes the resin content in the laminate, thus improving the mechanical properties of the structure, resulting in a stronger, lighter hull. DECK & HULL
Externally the hull is coated white Awlgrip paint.
The inside of the hull is protected with gel coat
Additional layers of high solid-content epoxy paint under the water line offer an additional barrier against osmosis.
The boat is delivered with two antifouling layers, and painted water and load lines in dark blue colour.
All metal gear on the deck is stainless steel with a 'mirror-polish' finish on visible surfaces.
Solid teak gunwale, with scuppers from bow to stern, with spaces for the fitting of cleats and fairleads. The entire deck, except for the deckhouse in the area aft of the saloon and the aft cabin, is covered with teak battens, adhered to the deck, previously impregnated and caulked with a black rubber cord for improved water tightness.
The rest of the deck is finished off with two different kinds of non-slip textured surface, depending on the deck area.
For greater safety when moving around on deck towards the bow two solid teak handrails are fitted to the sides of the cabin.
The companionway to the saloon has a sliding horizontal latch in the upper section, and a vertical latch that slides with a hydraulic action. KEEL & RUDDER
NACA profile keel with a cast lead bulb The keel is strongly secured to the hull with stainless steel bolts sealed with marine sealant and laminated perimetrically.
Rudder shaft and frame made of aluminum.
The sabre-shaped rudder blade, made of fiberglass with a high-density foam core, is fitted to the hull with self-aligning bearings.
The top part of the rudder stock houses the connection for the emergency tiller, which is operated on deck. Deck Gear 8 Mooring cleats in stainless steel 8 Fairleads in stainless steel 5 Fixed eyebolts
