Northern Bay (Dyer, Duffy) 28' Northern Bay

Northern Bay (Dyer, Duffy) 28' Northern Bay - Clean and ready to sell!

Many features, such as her Herreschoff interior, fuel efficiency, and perfectly proportioned lines help define SKYLAR\'s charm.  The most unique feature is the beautiful bi-folding mahogany doors that, when fully opened, merge the aft deck and pilothouse into one large area.  Open the center windshield and two side windows for a nice cross breeze while on the hook, or batten down the hatches and turn on the engine-driven heat to extend your boating season.  SKYLAR is the most versatile 28\' downeaster on the market and a showing will not disappoint.  

The interior is finished in the Herreschoff style with mahogany trim. Headroom is 5\'10\" in the main cabin and 5\'11\" at the helm deck.

Natural light and air pour into the main cabin through stainless opening ports and an overhead opening hatch. A 6\'4\" long V-berth fwd has storage below and shelves above to port and stbd.  Reading and overhead lights provide additional lighting if necessary. At the forepeak is access to the anchor locker, with additional storage in a hanging locker aft to stbd.

The galley is just aft to port with a 5\' long, 3\' deep counter and a stainless opening port above. A stainless sink aft in the counter provides hot & cold pressure freshwater. A deep refrigerator is below a hinged access panel in the counter, and the propane stove is fwd. Storage is in drawers below the stove and cabinets below the counter and sink.

Across to stbd is the enclosed head with stainless sink providing hot & cold water and Raritan MSD with Y-valve. A stainless screened opening port above the counter allows plenty of natural light and ventilation. Storage is in a fiddled cubby next to the MSD and in a cabinet below the sink.

Up two steps is the helm deck with teak sole. A 7\' long settee runs fore & aft to port and a mahogany pedestal helm seat is fwd to stbd. Storage is below the settee and in a cubby behind the helm seat. Large windows provide a panoramic view. The center windshield hinges open and the fwd side windows to port and stbd slide open with screens to create a cross breeze while at anchor or underway. The aft mahogany doors have four hinged panels to close the helm deck fully, partially, or open it wide to the aft cockpit.

The aft cockpit is spacious and open, providing plenty of room to set up chairs and a table for sunset cocktails. Three deck hatches access storage, tanks, and steering gear in the bilge. To port, below the coaming is a salt water washdown hose and a hot & cold fresh water shower. A 30 amp shorepower inlet is below the stbd coaming. Side decks to port and stbd are wide enough to allow safe passage fwd with teak handrails along the hardtop and cabintop. Stainless bowrail provides safe handling of the anchor and bowline.
