About
Farr 56 Pilot House "Northern Winds" - New to the market
“Northern Winds" is the perfect yacht for a long-term cruising couple
The carbon In-mast furling rig with three headsails with push button controls to operate the furling systems, makes her easy to sail to her maximum potential for which Farr designs are renowned.
A lot of the essential equipment for short handed sailing is repeated for redundancy such as the Raymarine EVO autopilots, Whitlock Mamba drives for the autopilot, Mastervolt batteries chargers and Mastervolt 220v inverters. In addition a Mastervolt 117 V 60 Hz 2500 W inverter with 110v sockets throughout has been added.
Built by our sister company, BSI Marine, in 2005 this is a boat about which we know the full history. "Northern winds" has been fully updated during her life, this including NEW Teak Decks in 2016 and a New Generator 2019 and New Rod Rigging in 2021 she really is in "turn key" condition!
If you are looking for a serious offshore cruising yacht for immediate use she should be on your list.
For full details and VIDEO please contact Jeff Taylor at Boat Sales International via email or WhatsApp. She is located in Italy.
Northern Winds is a Farr 56 Pilot House built by BSI Marine in Sweden in 2005.
There are very few Pilot House yachts around which offer the performance and live-aboard capability of this yacht.
She is ideal for the long term cruising couple who plan to spend extended periods of time on board without the need for additional crew. Indeed this is what she has been used for.
She has a light and airy pilothouse, large internal volume, cavernous deck storage, great machinery access and a palatial aft cabin. Couple this with a performance for which Farr designs are renowned and she truly is an ideal cruising yacht.
Northern Winds was cruised by its original owner from Sweden via the Panama canal, Pacific and Australasia, Indonesia and to Phuket in Thailand. She was sold in April 2021 and shipped to Turkey. During the past two years she has been based in Greece and Italy.
To say that this boat is in turn key condition is an understatement. This term is used quite loosely but you could join Northern Winds tomorrow fill her up with fuel and food and leave on an Ocean voyage.
All of her owners have been fastidious with the maintenance and upgrades as time has progressed. She has recently had a new teak deck, new batteries and new electrical installation including chargers etc., new instrumentation, new rod rigging etc. She carries an abundance of spare parts which are all documented.
The hull is of a single skin solid laminate in the central regions below the waterline with the remainder and topsides in a sandwich construction using a Divinycell core that is fitted using the latest vacuum techniques. Multi-axial matting is used with Vinylester resin. The hull is finished in white gelcoat with a dark blue coloured cove line and boot topping. Internally, the hull is top-coated throughout.
An internal bottom grid is laid up in a female mould and then laminated into the base of the hull increasing stiffness throughout the hull structure. The hull is formed with an integral keel stub to which the lead keel is through bolted. This also forms the separate engine and main bilge sumps.
The main bulkheads are made of marine grade plywood with a mahogany veneer and laminated on both sides to the hull and deck. The chain plates are bolted to the reinforced main bulkhead. The backstay chain plate is bolted to the transom. The loads of all rigging and deck fittings are distributed through the hull via changes in the lay up of the affected areas.

Key Points
General
The boat is equipped with a Formula spars carbon swept back spreader In-mast furling rig and carbon boom. She has Rod Rigging. She is equipped with three furling headsails. A 135% Genoa primarily for reaching and off wind sailing, a 110% non overlapping Jib which is ideal for saiing to windward and a Staysail for heavey weather. Using a combination of these sails it makes it possible to change gear easily when sailing short-handed as the conditions change all for the safety of the cockpit.

Sails
General
Northern Winds has a primary 24v dc system for onboard systems with a 12v dc service circuit for some "12v only" equipment. The engine and generator run off a separate 12v dc battery. There is also an emergency switch that connects the 12v service battery in line with the start battery if required.
The service batteries are charged from twin 24v 100A Mastervolt chargers powered from the shore or the generator. The 12v dc batteries are charged via Mastervolt 24v to 12v chargers.
There is also a 24v / 2500w inverter to provide 220v ac and a smaller backup inverter to provide 220v ac to the entire boat if required (Note Ice Maker cannot be run off the smaller inverter).
Finally there is a 117v 2500w inverter providing 110v 60Hz ac to outlets in the galley, nav area and workshop.
The AC system is 220v 50Hz/60Hz. The chargers will run off 50 or 60Hz as will the Air conditioning compressors.
The Mastervolt system and batteries were all replaced in 2015 during a refit. The complete electrical system can be monitored and controlled on a PC via the Masteradjust software or via the Masterview monitor at the chart table.
