New Model: Nord West 370 SportsTop

To give owners a longer cruising season, Swedish boat builder Nord West presents the 370 SportsTop, hard top version of the fall 2008 launched 370 Sports. This SportsTop version adds more protection to the cockpit, albeit with a large opening sun roof section to enjoy the sunny moments or a nice star viewing night sky. Otherwise she is all-identical to the 370 Sport, with the same exceptional performance and the option choice of joystick Volvo IPS propulsion or a more performing stern drive. Accommodation onboard is a full sized owner’s cabin with a large double island berth, mid-ships is a spacious guest cabin with twin child berths or a large double, and a very comfortable sofa in the saloon converts to an additional double berth. The cockpit also follows the good layout of the Sport version with the c-shaped settee and spacious wetbar opposite astern, although this could have been improved to suit the hardtop needs better. Seems this a fault in many sub 40 feet hard tops, especially those originating from an open sport cruiser design, but for the rest this is a great boat and deserves the top attention if looking for an 11 metre with more weather protection boat.
