The North Channel 9m Cruiser/racer was designed by Richard McClure and built using cedar/epoxy strips. She's well kitted out with twin rudders, a deep keel with bulb, carbon bowsprit. If you are after a boat for some fast cruising or local racing this will be the one! More details and photos coming soon. Call me to register your interest. A reduced asking price is making this beauty very very attractive...
