Novara

Novara is an almost unique, Aero rigged schonner

The deep, well protected, covered cockpit

Heavy duty ground tackle and deep bulwarks

Both the mast and extended boom rotates

The raised pilothouse provides great protection and visibility in all weathers

watch keeping is easy from the dry, warm navigation station with the fly-by-wire helm controls

The galley is large and well protected for use in heavy seas

There is a large workshop with workbench, tool and spares storage as well as a dedicated area for dive equipment and compressor.

Novara has a deep rounded underbody, great for ice work

The centreboard design creates a draft of 6ft with the board up and 12ft 6" with the board down

From this drawing you can see the rounded hull sections

Novara was built to cruise in extreme latitudes and is at home in the ice
