Jeff,

I'm not sure if they called this 35 a Northstar but it was a S & S design (late 70's I think) and my buddy sailed across singlehanded 5 times. ( He's a bit deranged). There are so many Hughes, Hughes/ Columbias, Hughes/Northstars it's hard to keep track of them. This 35 didn't have any IOR bumps. It was a real tough boat, looked like a little Swan and finally met her demise falling 50 ft. off a elevated highway while being towed home for winter storage. A very sad day.
