Brokers Comments:

INDIAN HARBOUR is a beautifully-presented cruising yacht which has been equipped to the very highest of standards.  With her smart dark blue hull and sweeping teak decks she looks superb both under sail and at anchor.  She is easy to handle with a fully furling rig and electric primary winches and halyard winch.  Down below she has a warm teak interior, giving really comfortable accommodation for six people with a superb main saloon with curved seating and a well equipped navigation station.  Her build quality is second to none with so many well thought-out details superbly executed.

INDIAN HARBOUR is now in her third ownership, having been sold to the current owners by Berthon in 2006. A sparkling sailing yacht with a very useable deck saloon which is ideal for all-weathers sailing, she also comes with a full Med/Caribbean spec for those looking to head further afield.

Owners Comments:

A beautiful yacht in every way – perfectly comfortable in harbour, stable at sea and easy to handle under power and sail. We shall be very sorry to see her go, but our children are now busy elsewhere and we no longer need a yacht of this type or size.

Construction:

Overall Measured Length: 52'5" inc. 1'5" D & 1' PP

RCD Status: The yacht conforms with the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorised A – “Ocean” (or Cat B – whichever is appropriate)

Hull:

·         The hull and deck are hand laminated. Temperature and humidity conditions are strictly monitored in order to guarantee excellent results during the lamination process.

·         Hand-laid hull employing vinylester resins on the exterior which protects the top sides as well as the wetted surface area from osmosis. Isophtalic resin is employed on the exterior. The laminates are compacted manually by roller. PVC closed cell sandwich  is bonded by special adhesives and vacuum bagged compressed.

·         The GRP material employed in the lay up is chopped strand matt along with woven rovings. A further layer of Kevlar is added in order to give increased collision protection.

·         The exterior of the hull is finished with isophtalic gel coat. The wetted surface area is coated with a high grade epoxidic primer which serves as another barrier against osmosis.

·         The hull interior is coated throughout with a duel component polyester paint. Scantlings are of PVC foam which are laminated into  the hull using polyester resin.

·         All bulk heads are glassed into the hull on both sides giving great strength which is a characteristic of North Wind yachts.

·         The engine bed plates are high dense PVC foam glassed into the hull and stainless steel AISI 316 in-laminated to support the engine mountings

·         Hull painted in Awlgrip Flag Blue with gold cavita line.

Deck:

·         The deck is a sandwich lay-up also done manually via rollers and vacuum bagging. The resins employed in the lay up are isophtalic polyester resins.

·         Deck gear is reinforced by stainless steel plates which are glassed into the hull. All through bolts are sealed by highly resistant marine sealants.

·         The deck areas are overlaid with 13mm teak planking. Cockpit and bathing platform areas are also teak laid.

Hull/Deck Joining:

·         The hull to deck is bonded by stainless steel bolts (AISI 316) every 15cm and laminated thus giving great strength and watertighness.

Keel & Rudder:

·         NACA profile keel of moulded lead  with 4% antinomy thus further improving its mechanical characteristics.

·         The keel is fixed solidly to hull with stainless steel bolts, glued and laminated around its perimeter.
