About
The Northern 25 is a fairly stiff boat with a ballast-to-displacement ratio of 48 per cent. If you combine these figures you get a fast, stiff boat. The deep entry at the bow and sweeping stern angle helps the Northern 25 ride through the water smoothly with minimal pounding in heavy seas. The skeg in from of the rudder makes tracking in balance much easier than a spade type of rudder.
Access to the main cabin is easy with a short, two-step companion way ladder. Once below, there is headroom for those who stand at six feet. The interior is enhanced by large fixed windows on port and starboard, and there is plenty of storage under all the berths for extended cruising supplies. In all, the accommodation will sleep four comfortably.
She has a dinette layout in the main saloon with the galley forward on the starboard side. This type of layout makes the eating and food preparation area very efficient. The dinette table drops down to form a double berth and there is a long quarter berth aft of the galley on starboard. The galley consists of an insulated ice chest, dish rack, sink with manual fresh water and a single-burner butane stove. There is also plenty of storage under the sink in a sliding cupboard.
Going forward between two bulkheads, there is a head to port and a full hanging locker across from it on starboard. Each bulkhead has a door and when both are closed at the same time it forms a rather large enclosed head area, which is completely private and accessible from the forward cabin or main saloon. The forward cabin has a long V-berth and once the filler piece is added, there is a comfortable double bunk.
She has been very well kept and her owners love is very evident.
