The North Pacific 59/590 is designed with a serious yet classy look. With an LOA of 61’4”, a beam of 18’4” and a high plumb bow, the NP59 has a presence that can’t be missed.
The NP59 is built on a semi-displacement hull which provides good stability, meeting CE Class A, for a comfortable and safe cruise. The hull also allows for higher cruise and top speeds when the need arises.
Twin skegs provide protection to the running gear, negating the worry of prop damage in most twin engine applications.
The hull has a beautiful planked look, adding character. It is solid, hand-laid fiberglass. This makes it both very strong and heavy, which adds to the stability. A vinyl ester resin is used in the outer two layers of the hull and superstructure to prevent blistering. Below the waterline is additional protection in the form of an epoxy barrier. The fiberglass stringers are made on a separate mold and then glassed into the hull in a rigid grid design.
The superstructure is made of fiberglass and cored primarily with a lightweight closed cell foam, helping to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity. Rigid PVC is used as coring in areas that require more strength (where the upper helm seat is bolted, for example). Wood is not used as a coring material. The hull and superstructure are a shoebox design and are epoxied and fiberglassed together for a strong and lasting bond.
The plumb bow adds to the great look of the NP59 but is also practical by adding considerably to the waterline and interior space. A longer WL also increases fuel economy at displacement speeds and we have found no negative performance aspects of a plumb bow.
All stainless steel railings are large diameter #316L for safety. They also provide an impressive feel.
Exterior cushions are upholstered with Ultraleather and reticulated foam for comfort and durability. The NP59 comes standard with Sunbrella exterior covers for the seating and helm.
