The North Wind 43 DS represents the pinnacle of the Spanish shipyard's transition from traditional heavydisplacement cruisers to modern, lightfilled deck saloon voyagers. Designed by the esteemed naval architecture firm Nautatec, this model was engineered to provide a seamless bridge between the security required for bluewater passages and the social visibility typically reserved for catamarans. Built in the Sant Andreu de la Barca facility near Barcelona, the 43 DS emerged during a period when North Wind was refining its "Total Vision" concept, focusing on a raised coachroof that allows occupants to view the horizon from a seated position within the saloon. The yacht is characterized by its robust handlaid fiberglass hull and a sophisticated interior finished in highgrade Burmese teak, a hallmark of the shipyard’s artisanal heritage.
