Northshore Nsx38
The Northshore NSX38 is a truly versatile yacht with real cruising comforts and well proven race pedigree, 'Back In Business' is a former winner of the Melbourne to Hobart race and was twice Victorian Offshore champion. Her original and present owner once sold her briefly and then bought her back again when he couldn't find a better yacht! Very well presented in clean and tidy condition, this Northshore NSX38 provides a wonderful opportunity to secure a great performer of manageable size that you can club race, twilight or cruise offshore. Recently fully serviced, she is ready to sail away.
Following her earlier offshore racing successes this Northshore NSX38 has more recently been enjoyed as a capable short-handed family cruising yacht along the Victorian coast and around Port Phillip.
Her quality build by Northshore Yachts and a consistent maintenance program by her long term owner makes this yacht a rare find. With current rigging, some new sails and just off the slip in March 2026 following antifoul and servicing; what are you waiting for? For further information or to arrange an inspection on the RMYS marina at St Kilda, please call Chris Furey on or complete the on-line enquiry form.
