The models are
designed for coastal waters, fjords, lakes and inland waters and can

styling is to "yacht standards" with extensive use of teak in both the
interior and exterior fit out. ?The Nordic Star yachts are offered
with a Yanmar engine driving a conventional shaft and propeller.

Nice looking boats but fuel tankage and range are decidely on the
short side for a boat of that type. ?At 20 kt cruise it will burn
about 12 gph and require a fill up every 6 or 7 hours. ?That's
marginal for a day boat let alone a cruiser.

I would categorize these boats more as "day boats", based on their
open design and a paucity of amenities.
