This Nord Star is a true little ship, I loved this boat when I saw it. It makes you feel so safe with a very chunky feel to it. You board via a large swim platform and instantly notice the large gauge of the rails. these run all the way forward along the deep, and I mean deep side decks, the bulwark are knee high on this boat and run al the way up to the twin side doors. These allow you to step straight off via a boarding gate and cutout right onto the pontoon, with a handy midship cleat for single handed docking. Or into the cabin and straight onto the helm. which by the way is just a perfect place to steer irrespective of the weather conditions outside. On this boat there there is no outside helm station.
Once inside, it all feels so very cosy, shut the doors and you are super safe, yet the large overhead sliding roof and a rear opening window allow the air to circulate keeping the cabin feeling light an airy. Even the side doors have a smart multi locking system, to keep them ajar if required. I thought this cabin might feel a little cramped, however once inside you realise just how cleaver the design is, which you can see in the video. have a look round let me know what you think in the comments. I loved the big master cabin, hidden away and the feeling of being a proper captain. Enjoy this great little ship. as winter approaches, she will come into her own!
