Here's the newest member of the NIS stable. Designed in 2001, this boat falls outside the trailerability of the smaller sisters, but retains the same concepts of a comfortable and powerful sharpie. Unique to this design is a shoe keel with a centerboard and twin inboard rudders that do not draw more than the keel. Like the 31, the rig is a stayed ketch, although an unstayed rig may be requested. The cockpit is large and the interior has been kept open and airy.

Description: LOA 43'
