Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of sailboat is NORTH STAR? NORTH STAR is a Bristol Yachts sailboat built to a classic Ted Hood design. She has a shoal-draft, centerboard hull with a heavier displacement build, giving her strong upwind performance, a comfortable motion at sea, and generous interior volume for her size.
What is NORTH STAR's draft? With the centerboard up, NORTH STAR draws just 4'11", allowing access to shallow anchorages. With the board down, draft increases to 11' for improved upwind sailing performance.
How many people can sleep aboard NORTH STAR? NORTH STAR sleeps four in two private staterooms (forward V-berth and aft centerline queen), plus an additional 2–4 guests in the main salon settees, which convert to double berths.
What engine and generator does NORTH STAR have? She's powered by a Westerbeke 70 hp diesel engine, completely overhauled by Hansen Marine in 2013 (approximately 500 hours since the factory rebuild, 1,862 total hours). A Northern Lights 10 kW generator with only 633 hours provides auxiliary power.
What major upgrades were completed in 2025? 2025 refit work at Portland Yacht Services included a new Cruise RO 30 gph watermaker (tested, never used), new reverse-cycle AC/heat, new refrigerator and freezer cold plates, new hot and cold domestic water lines, new galley and head faucets, a new drive shaft and seal, a new 140-amp alternator, a new mainsail, and reconditioned/repainted mast, boom, and rigging, plus new halyards, topping lift, LED lights, and clutches.
Where has NORTH STAR been stored and maintained? She has been professionally stored and maintained by Portland Yacht Services for the past two years, and by Jamestown Boat Yard in Jamestown, RI for the ten years prior.
Does NORTH STAR have furling sails? Yes. She's equipped with a Hood Stoway electric furling mast, a Schaefer 3100 furling genoa, and a Schaefer 2100 furling staysail, along with a full inventory of Hood storm and cruising sails.
What electronics are included? NORTH STAR includes a Raymarine C90 radar/chartplotter, a Garmin 541 mini GPS/chartplotter, Raymarine SeaTalk-networked sailing instruments, an Autohelm 6000 autopilot, ICOM M-504 VHF and ICOM M-802 SSB radios, passive AIS, and a Globalstar satellite phone.
