Approximate drawing

The North Wind 56 represents a significant era of Spanish yacht building, emerging from the Barcelonabased North Wind shipyard as a premium bluewater cruiser designed by the renowned naval architect Marcelo Penna. Produced primarily from the late 1990s through the mid2000s, this model was the shipyard's answer to the highend European deck saloon market, competing directly with prestigious builders like Oyster and Contest. The vessel is defined by its robust handlaid GRP construction and a distinctive raised coachroof that allows for a "true" deck saloon experience—one where guests can see the horizon while seated in the main cabin. Unlike many massproduction yachts of its size, the North Wind 56 was often semicustomized, leading to variations in draft, rigging, and internal timber finishes.
