About the NORTH WIND 58
The North Wind 58 is a substantial cruising yacht designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by North Wind in Spain, with production records indicating a build year of 2006. As the specific hull count is not definitively established in the source data, the fleet size remains unquantified, but the vessel represents a significant investment in the large-displacement cruiser market.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for serious bluewater cruisers who prioritize comfort and stability, as evidenced by the high frequency of North sailmaker reports suggesting owners invest in high-performance or durable sail inventories for extended passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 53484.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.75, and a comfort ratio of 37.72, the North Wind 58 exhibits the heavy, stable characteristics typical of offshore-capable yachts designed for safe passage in challenging conditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other large Sparkman & Stephens designs from the mid-2000s, such as the Swan 58 or Hallberg-Rassy 54, which share similar displacement characteristics and target the same market of owners seeking robust, traditional cruising platforms.
