Nord Vinden

More pictures of the Nord Vinden can be seen on my Photo Gallery page.

The Nord Vinden is an attractive craft inspired by the canoe yawl Ethel designed by George Holmes in 1888. John Leathers included the Ethel in his book "Sail and Oar" published by Conway Marine Press in 1982.

The Nord Vinden ("North Wind" in Swedish) is 3.96 m L.O.A. with a 1.37 m beam. She draws about 15.24 cm with centerboard up and 55.88 cm with it down. With a load capacity in excess of 225 Kg, the Nord Vinden will carry two people and their gear for day trips or cruising.

The basic version of the Nord Vinden is a sloop-rigged affair with 9.5 sq. meters between the gunter-rigged main and the roller-furled jib. It can also be set up with the more traditional balanced lug yawl rig or a gunter yawl rig with a jib. The sail area of either rig will be about 9.3 sq. meters

Nord Vinden is very stable and seaworthy. Her versatility is a boon to daytrippers and overnight campers; and her popularity is growing as more and more sailors opt for a trailerable craft.
