The North Star 600 is a Canadian sailboat that was designed by the American design firm Sparkman & Stephens as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1975. The boat is Sparkman & Stephens' design number 2135.2. It was also sold under the name North Star 26 and Hughes 26 after Hughes bought the company back in 1977.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The design is a larger, heavier development of the North Star 500, with a coach house roof added.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by North Star Yachts and Hughes Boat Works in Canada, from 1975 to 1977, but it is now out of production.[1][2][7][8]

Design

The North Star 600 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a nearly plumb transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 4,598 lb (2,086 kg) and carries 2,000 lb (907 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with a Universal Atomic 2 gasoline engine for docking and manoeuvring.[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a drop down dinette table that forms a double berth in the main cabin and an aft quarter berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the starboard side, amidships. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove, ice box and a sink. The head is located in the bow cabin on the port side under the "V"-berth.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 6.03 kn (11.17 km/h).[2]
