The Northstar 1500, later rebranded as the Hughes 35, represents a highwater mark in the collaboration between Canadian builder Hughes Boat Works and the legendary design firm Sparkman & Stephens. Commissioned during the era of US Steel’s ownership (operating as Northstar Yachts), the vessel was penned under S&S Design No. 2166. It was conceived as a sophisticated performance cruiser capable of competing under the prevailing IOR (International Offshore Rule) while maintaining the structural integrity required for serious offshore passages. The model is part of a lineage that includes the Northstar 1000 (Hughes 31) and the Northstar 80/20 (Hughes 40), and it remains one of the most respected hulls to emerge from the Huron Park facility.
