2004 Scanyacht 290, sloop-rigged motorsailer with Yanmar 3YM30 30hp diesel engine on shaft drive. This immaculate yacht's hull was moulded in 2003 by Cygnus Marine, with rest of the build mostly finished by Yachting Projects Limited in Hamble. Nordic Star offers the best of many worlds with her good engine, shallow draft, sloop rig and ease of sailing single-handed. The current owner had new rigging, the sails valeted and Coppercoat re-applied in 2015.

Owner only selling due to retiring from sailing.
Nordic Star is a very comfortable motor sailer as the wheelhouse gives shelter from the elements, and she is easy to sail single handed as all sail control lines come back to the cockpit. The interior layout is superb for living, as the galley has views out, is bright and airy, and the quickly erected canopy turns the cockpit with its large folding table, into a spacious living area on the same level as the wheelhouse.
The first owner had the boat built to a high specification, and sailed her from the South Coast to the North West via Ireland, and sold her in 2011. When I bought her in 2015 she'd not had so much use, but in my ownership she has been regularly used for family trips and short breaks. When I bought her I had a survey of both engine and hull which were reassuring, and I had new rigging, valeted the sails and had new battens to the mainsail and re-applied copper coat. Since then I have replaced all equipment that was faulty or tired (with the exception of the stereo which no longer plays CDs!).
In the 4 years that I have owned the boat, I have thoroughly enjoyed sailing and staying on board, but my advancing years mean it is time to move on!
