Powered by a single Yanmar 315hp diesel for reliable and economical operation, BORN FREE is rigged for comfortable and safe cruising.  Fully equipped and in very good condition, this North Shore is very reluctantly offered for sale.  She must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!  The best value in a 28 foot downeaster for sale anywhere...

The North Shore 28 is a pleasure boat built in Nova Scotia to commercial standards.  Feeling much larger than 28 feet, the NS28 offers a huge cockpit, spacious main salon and a very usable v-berth, galley and head.

Born Free is fully equipped for cruising - the salon is a bright, inviting space with plenty of natural light and ventilation thanks to the sliding aft door and large windows all around.  There\'s a convertible dinette to port that\'s perfect for meals, games or enjoying morning coffee, storage is available under both seats.  Opposite to starboard you\'ll find a large straight upholstered settee to starboard with storage underneath.   Dockside Air Conditioning and Heating add to the comfort and warmth of this space.  Engine compartment is access through the floor in the main salon. 

Moving forward there is an enclosed head to starboard, a galley to port and a roomy forward V-berth.  Hatches and opening portlights offer natural light and ventilation in this forward space.  Plenty of storage in this area as well for weekends or extended cruising.

The large, simple and easy to maintain cockpit has room for chairs and a table.  There\'s a ladder to port for access to the large flybridge.    Port and starboard bench seats sit atop coolers and offer pivoting backrests for enjoying the aft view.  The upper helm offers full engine controls and instrumentation as well as a Garmin GPS/Chartplotter and Furuno Radar.  The bridge is protected by an aluminum framed hardtop with a full enclosure. 

Propulsion is provided by a Yanmar 315hp 6 cylinder diesel - reliable and economical and with only 738 hours.

Born Free has been cruised only, but would make an exceptional fishing or diving platform.  With her rugged, offshore pedigree the North Shore 28 is ready to fish or cruise with no worries!
