All that's best in traditional design
This vessel has been specifically designed for ocean cruising and can easily be handled by a crew of two. The sail areas have been broken down into manageable individual sails so that, for example, in the event of a sudden squall the mainsail can be dropped and the vessel sailed to windward if necessary under one or two headsails plus mizzen.
The North Sea 127 has a considerably higher displacement than the large majority of so called 'off shore' vessels built today. this results in a much easier motion in a short sea and provides greater stability and comfort below.
