northcape 43

Recently completed at Bluefix is the NorthCape Custom 43 named Rowe’De’O.

Full epoxy foam core construction using resin infusion and powered by twin Cummins 600hp engines.  The NorthCape Custom 43 has been designed for manoeuvrability with a dramatically curved transom and tumblehome hull running aft, this boat gets through the corner fast, with the drive chain further apart than anything else on the market.

A little update on the NorthCape 43, Unicorn. 

We’ve been a little quiet on here since launch. During commissioning, one of her new Cummins engines suffered a failure and needed replacing.

A huge thank you to Cummins for their response and the extremely quick turnaround in getting a replacement warranty engine to us. Their support throughout has been hugely appreciated. We have these QSC Series Cummins engines in our personal boat and they are great engines!

It also gave us an earlier than expected opportunity to demonstrate something we designed into the NorthCape 43 - practical engine access. With the removable sole lifted, the engines fit through the door, no cutting required. It’s something you hope you’ll never need, but when you do, thoughtful design makes all the difference.

Thanks again to Cummins. Things don’t always go to plan, but it’s how a company responds that makes all the difference. Sea trials resumed today and this NorthCape 43 has so far exceeded all expectations, and we can’t wait to show you more of Unicorn out on the water and doing what she was built to do!!!! LFG!! 💪🎣 #standby #ripsnorter
An early start at Bluefix this morning as we rolled the house of the NorthCape 51, Dogs Bollocks, back the right way up, after completing the carbon fibre lamination on the underside.

We’re so lucky to build our NorthCape Custom Boats across two factories right next to the stunning Bay of Islands Marina which looked gorgeous all lit up in the early morning darkness! #customsportsfisher #boatbuilding #composite Stuart Simpson
