Boat Details
Description
The Hughs 40 also known as a North Star 80/20 is considered a true blue-water vessel. They were designed by Sparkman Stephens and built in Ontario Canada.
The hull is reported as 1 3/8 inch solid glass and the decks 1/2 inch solid glass. She is known to stay upright in heavy air with her modified long fin keel and skeg hung rudder and the center cockpit has a reputation as a safe dry helm area.
This vessel has been undergoing a refit since the current owner purchased her. The previous owner brought the vessel to Florida from Lake Ontario.
Newer electronics (2021) and partial rigging(2024) make her a strong choice to head to the islands and beyond. A ketch rig and 5 foot draft make for a well balanced go any where vessel.
She has two staterooms and two heads, a large main salon, galley, nav station and has a walk-thru to the aft cabin.
She is a perfect example of a high quality blue-water sailboat from the 70’s making her an excellent offshore vessel or live aboard.
