The Yacht
Come aboard and experience the luxury of Northern Star. This 76' (23m) modern cutter-rigged sloop was designed by Ocke Mannerfelt and handcrafted by the Hinckley Company in 1993 with a traditional old world aesthetic that features teak decking, beautiful butterfly hatches and custom mahogany interiors throughout. With her graceful overhangs and elegant sheerline, she combines state-of-the-art performance, power, and control to create a truly modern and timeless classic.
Northern Star is one of the finest yachts in the world and with her carbon furling mast and hydraulic winches, she offers true single-handed capacity underway and an experience steeped in the rich traditions of sailing the open seas.
A 2014 refit included new luxury soft furnishings and bed linens, new table ware, fresh exterior varnish, all brass refinished and all systems checked and serviced.
NORTHERN STAR accommodates 6 guests in three cabins. The interior is fully air-conditioned and headroom is 8' to 6'
throughout
The spacious Master Suite is forward with a king v-berth, hanging locker and private head with a separate stall shower. There is also a comfortable seat and a writing desk on the starboard side.
A center hallway runs aft to the salon. Aft and to port of the master stateroom is an elegant VIP Suite that was originally planned for the King and Queen of Norway who frequented the yacht. This cabin is an intimate oasis featuring his and her twins, ample storage and a private head with a stall shower.
Also aft of the master on the port side is a common head with shower. On the starboard side are two well-appointed guest cabins, (one of which are used by the crew),each with over and under single berths, a bureau and hanging locker. These two cabins share the common head and shower.

Ella Withington
Native New Englander, Ella Withington grew up sailing on Cape Cod Bay. At the age of 7, she began assisting her father on the family’s oyster farm. She cruised extensively throughout the coastline of New England from New York to Maine, exploring the great sailing areas and exploring small coves, and hidden anchorages. Her other interests include surfing, mountain climbing, backpacking and backcountry skiing.
While attending Tabor College Preparatory Academy Ella participated in a 4-year student- run sail training program and graduated with Naval Honors. She attended Hobart William Smith College and graduated with a dual BA in Computer Science and Religious Studies. Following graduation, Ella went on to work as a Computer Software Engineer for several years. But her joy has always been found on the water.
Now having sailed over 15,000 ocean miles, Ella is a competent sailor and captain, and her qualifications include holding a commercially-endorsed RYA Yachtmaster Offshore, STCW, US Sailing Level II Instructor certification, plus certifications in First Aid, CPR, Celestial Navigation, Radio Operation, yacht maintenance and TIG Welding.
Ella has also sailed in the East & West Mediterranean, Northern Europe and throughout the Caribbean. Her sailing experience includes a wide range of vessels up to 38m - with an emphasis on classic & traditional sailing yachts. She has raced classic schooners across the Mediterranean in Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, and run Sail N Ski expeditions across the Norwegian Sea and Arctic Ocean.
Ella enjoys chartering and sharing her passion for sailing with guests on board NORTHERN STAR and is pleased to offer sailing instruction.
