northern 25
 

I'm not sure if anyone will get this note but I own a Northern 25 that used to be on Lake of the Woods. I wonder if this is the same Northern that you used to own Peter.

The northern 25 was built by Northern Yachts out of Ajax Ontario, a small
family company. We sailed a northern 25 for eight years and loved it so
much that we moved up to a northern 29 which we still have 14 years
later. Dennis and Cynthia Furnis were wonderful builders who always were
available to answer questions and give advice. They have not built boats
for some years but may still live in the Ajax/Whitby area just east of
Toronto. The northerns are strong, solid boats and the 25 had a good
turn of speed that was competitive with the C&C 25. I believe the hull
may have been a Rhodes design but I am not sure about that. In any event
we certainly enjoyed our 25 and have many fond memories of sailing her on
Lake of the Woods. Peter
