Footage of my Northener sailing

[bornfreee]

Hi guys this is a link to my Compass Northener 28 the first of the Compass 28 basically a 3ft bigger version of the Tophat yacht I put a new Flemming windvane on her and over the next few years i am getting her ready to sail offshore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL62B-n- ... er&list=UL

Looks like she sails well with the windvane Bill. How does it compare to your old Top hat in terms of cruising speed?

Hi Mark i have had two northeners this one is very fast for what she is 1700kg of ballast and wider bow gives a different ride and considering how cheap the Northeners are they are the bargain of the centurary in Australia all hand laid glass they travell about the same speed
