Novara
Novara layout
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
