Northshore 370 Sport

A family and social entertainer with 3 private cabins for accommodation, plus the huge added bonus of excellent performance under sail. It doesn't get much better than that.

The Northshore 370 is a Euro-style design by Scott Jutson that was hand-made, indeed tailor-made, by skilled shipwrights and craftsmen at the Northshore's NSW Central Coast factory. The fibreglass hull is fully hand-laid (no chopper gun) to a mid-tech spec - balsa and foam, in thicknesses varying from 12mm to 25mm, are sandwiched by vinylester-impregnated mat.

The keel is stainless steel with a lead bulb for stiffness, efficiency and longevity.

The rigging was replaced mid 2016. All the winches are Harkens.

Deck gear is Spinlock jammers and turning blocks.

All Lewmar hatches are water tight and total 14, so there is plenty of airflow and natural light inside.

The mast is keel stepped and superbly engineered.

This was a significant boat for Northshore in more ways than one. Having rebuilt its name on the strength of its existing range of yachts, which date back to the '80s, it was a major step going for an all-new design. Northshore's previous designer, Hank Kauffman, is now a horse breeder so Jutson was chosen. He delivered a modern yet moderate cruiser/racer hull form, one that's long on the waterline, reasonably beamy (3.72m), well balanced and easily driven, while also having ample interior volume.
Displacement is 4750kg, of which 1450kg is lead ballast, and the keel draws 2.20m. Atop this is a relatively high but well-rounded coachroof that arches back into the coamings. The high coamings create excellent seating positions adjacent to the companionway, offering shelter and a comfortable backrest.

The cockpit is long and wide. While it can be sailed solo or with minimal crew assistance. There is a huge amount of storage space beneath the cockpit floor for fenders etc. Gas bottles, fit neatly into lockers incorporated in the swim platform, with the lids doubling as seats. A rugged stainless steel bowroller leads to a large anchor locker containing an electric Muir windlass.

Designer Jutson is tall so when you ask for full headroom, you get 6ft8in (two metres)! It creates a tremendous sense of spaciousness and airiness throughout the saloon, as well as enhancing access to the twin aft cabins and forward stateroom. In all three cabins you can stand and get dressed.
The use of handcrafted teak cabinetry, and with little in the way of fixed internal mouldings, the saloon layout is open and warm with new upholstery. An L-shaped galley to starboard, nav station to port, then parallel settees with a large drop leaf table between them.
The solitary shower/head enclosed compartment is forward of the bulkhead and there is a flush mounted, hot and cold transom shower for rinse off.

L shaped galley is well laid out and has more than ample storage for what this yachts purpose is. A BEAUTIFUL Smev 7000 series gas oven and 4 burner stove in excellent condition, even a light and a rotisserie with a QLD gas certification 2021. A large 12v deep chest style refrigerator tackles plenty of food and drinks. Loads of bench space for the chef which is all ventilated by plenty of overhead opening hatches and portlights. Hot and cold pressurised water is at the sink, enclosed private head and transom shower.

The engine has recently been serviced and is a three- cylinder 29HP 3.10 Nanni (kubota) diesel saildrive with folding prop, . The engine resides inside a moulded cover, and is almost impossible to hear whilst running due to quality sound proofing. There's also a small locker, accessed by reaching through the top rung, perfect for winch handles, shackle keys and sunnies.
