The NorseBoat 21.5

Sailing Cruiser

The new NorseBoat 21.5 Cruiser has distinctly NorseBoat lines and features.  The Open version has a large cockpit and a “doghouse” that provides shelter for a double V-berth.  The Cabin version has interior accommodations with berths for two adults and two optional quarter-berths for children. 

    The sailplan is a high performance, easy to handle cutter rig with fully battened mainsail, signature curved gaff yard, pivoting carbon mast, self-tacking jib, and optional furling drifter/reacher headsail.

    The ballasted foil-shaped stub keel provides good stability while maintaining shallow draft, keeps the cabin clear of a centerboard trunk, and allows the centerboard to be modest in size and weight.

    The NorseBoat 21.5 Cruiser is strong yet lightweight, and has a seaworthy, innovative hull shape with smooth bottom and lapstrake topsides.  The boat has a self-draining cockpit, shallow draft, some rowing capability, and is trailerable and able to be towed with a normal vehicle.

    The price is CN$29,995 plus trailer and options for the NorseBoat 21.5 Cabin version, and CN$26,495 plus trailer and options for the NorseBoat 21.5 Open version with raised deckhouse open to the cockpit.  Pricing & Features      NorseBoat_21.5_Press_Release.pdf
