Design 1956 Hughes 48
Introduced in 1970 as a fiberglass production cruising boat, the Canadian company Hughes Boatworks, changed the name to the Northstar 48 after acquiring Northstar Yachts in 1971. The boat is a large volume center cockpit boat. At the time she was referred to as a "modern classic". With a 50% ballast/displacement ratio, she looks to be a very stiff boat. I do not know how many were built during the production run.
Here are the plans.
Principal Dimensions
LOA 48'-3"
LWL 33'-0"
Beam 11'-10"
Draft 6'-9"
Displacement 30,000 lbs
Ballast 15,000 lbs
Sail Area 1,000 sq ft
