The Northshore 340 represents a sophisticated pivot in the history of Northshore Yachts. While the builder is most famous for the heavydisplacement Southerly swingkeelers and the rugged Vancouver line, the 340 was born from a desire to compete in the performancecruising sector. Designed by the esteemed naval architect Tony Castro, the Northshore 340 was launched in the late 1990s as a faster, more agile alternative to the brand's traditional offerings. It was part of a specific "Northshore" branded performance range that included the smaller Northshore 310 and the larger Northshore 380. Unlike the Southerly range, the 340 features a fixed fin keel with a lead bulb, signaling its intent as a boat meant for sailors who prioritize upwind efficiency and "feel" at the helm over the ability to dry out on a beach.
