Full Description

EXTERIOR

Hull & Superstructure

The North Pacific 49′ Euro Pilothouse with its large windows, slight forward rake and plumb bow offers a nice modern blend of traditional and motor yacht lines. There is no wood on the outside of the NP49E, only high-quality low-carbon stainless steel, fiberglass, and Flexiteek for easy maintenance.

The hard chine hull was carefully designed to provide good stability and economy at low-end speeds while providing lift to allow for higher top-end speeds. The full keel means the NP49 tracks and handles well in all conditions. A large barn door style rudder that, along with the shaft‑ and propeller, is fully protected by the keel and skeg, leaves you in full control at any speed. The planked look embedded in the fiberglass adds character.

The hull 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 to prevent blistering. Below the waterline is additional protection in the form of an epoxy barrier. The 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). The hull and superstructure are a shoebox design and are epoxied and fiberglassed together for a strong and lasting bond.

Flybridge

Access to the upper deck of the North Pacific 49′ is gained via stairs on both sides of the pilothouse and a ladder from the cockpit. Steps from the outside of the pilothouse to the upper deck mean that you can safely access the bow from the stern without walking through the cabin, unlike many pilothouse models. The upper deck is very spacious, providing a large area to relax and with room to comfortably place a 12.5′ RIB dinghy.

On the starboard side is a molded-in, L-shaped dinette area with a table; a great space for entertaining. Flexiteek decking adds a touch of class to the area. On the port side there is a bench seat and a barbeque mount. There is storage space under all molded seats. A large raised forward dash provides plenty of space for all the standard controls and navigation equipment. Two Stidd or Llebroc helm seats make a comfortable place to steer the NP49E. An electric/hydraulic davit is standard equipment. A hardtop with dimmable lighting is standard above the seating area, providing a low-maintenance platform to mount all of the various antennas.

Foredeck

The foredeck is accessed from both the pilothouse and upper deck and is protected by high freeboard and heavy-duty 1 1/2″ #316L stainless steel handrails. All railings are bolted into aluminum backing plates that are laid into the fiberglass. Courtesy lights around the foredeck light up the non-skid fiberglass surface, making walking around, even on a rough night, safe. A 24v Maxwell windlass, a Rocna 40kgs (88#) anchor and 280′ of 3/8 G4 high-test galvanized chain are standard equipment and will help you get restful sleep at anchor. The split chain locker allows for chain storage on one side and a great space for both fender and line storage on the other. A molded-in seat at the bow makes an excellent place to enjoy a nice afternoon in harbor or while cruising with a wireless autopilot remote.

Cockpit and Swim Platform

At the stern of the NP49E, there is a fully covered cockpit with molded in seating along the aft transom wall and a large table. Dual frosted glass and stainless steel aft transom doors, in conjunction with dual bulwark doors, make getting on and off the NP49E easy. The cockpit and swim platform are finished with Flexiteek decks. These are synthetic teak decks that look just like real teak but require no maintenance and never fade. These details and the full width, custom made stainless steel/glass salon door, give a great first impression when boarding the NP49E.

A 2′ cockpit extension is available to increase the size of the aft deck. This option extends the hull of the boat, so the lazarette space is also increased below deck.

INTERIOR

World-Class Finishing; Inviting and Comfortable

North Pacific interiors are finished to world-class standards with fine materials and finishes. We’ve hired experts and have spent years training our staff in the techniques that we use to attain the level of finish that we and our customers expect. Hand-crafted ash, wenge and blackwood paneled walls, dovetailed drawers and solid hardwood flooring exude a quality feel. Select high-gloss lacquered and fabric covered panels add nice contrast and a modern appeal. In addition to this, headroom and window size is maximized throughout.

Adding to the level of comfort, the settees are made by a custom furniture maker for a couch-like feel. The interior of the North Pacific 49E is well lit with Imtra LED lights and LED accent lighting on the ceiling and floors. The combination of good light layering on the ash wood, high ceilings and large windows gives North Pacific interiors a bright and inviting feel in any weather, allowing you to feel right at home on the water.

Salon

We believe in large interior living spaces, and the North Pacific does not disappoint. The interior volume is similar to many boats in the 55′ or larger, range. The full beam salon surrounded by large windows and high ceilings of 6′10″ provide plenty of light and a panoramic view. You can enjoy the great outdoors from inside the comfort of the salon.

The salon is fully customizable, and we have many different layouts to choose from. Please see the pictures here as well as the traditional 49 for ideas. Contact us to let us know what you are looking for and we’ll come up with a layout that will work for you.

Galley

Cooks will love that the galley is in the salon and they will not feel excluded from socializing. The galley is open and spacious. A large and well-lit solid surface countertop makes an excellent work surface. Dual stainless steel sinks, each big enough to fit large plates and pots, make cleanup easy. A 4-burner household size glass cooktop, propane cooktop or induction cooktop is standard. There’s also a 240v speed oven (oven with a microwave). The large Summit stainless steel fridge/freezer will be the envy of all other boating guests. There are several drawers and cabinets as well as options for a dishwasher and compactor.

The aft galley is an excellent choice for interior or exterior entertaining with its close proximity to the salon and the cockpit. The large opening aft door can slide either direction to combine the galley and cockpit into one highly functional entertaining space.

Pilothouse

The expansive pilothouse on the North Pacific 49′ offers excellent visibility and, depending on the layout, has room for two single Stidd helm seats or a dual helm seat. Aft of the helm seats is a large, L-shaped settee with a table, providing a comfortable place for crew with an unobstructed forward view. The L-shaped settee converts quickly and easily to a bed. Standing to the starboard side of the helm, you can easily see the aft end of the swim platform. With two opening doors and an aft window, you will feel confident piloting the NP49E from the pilothouse in any situation. The two doors and three sliding windows provide nice ventilation.

LOWER DECKS

Forward Accommodations

As with the salon, there are several layout options for the accommodations including two or three stateroom layouts or two staterooms and an office. We offer midship master or forward master stateroom options. Please see the pictures here as well as in the traditional 49 section for ideas and visit the “Layouts” link for more information.

Master Stateroom

The master stateroom is full beam, has two huge hull windows and headroom of almost 82”. This makes for a spectacularly open and spacious stateroom; rare for a vessel in this size range. There is ample storage for extended cruising as well as room for a washer/dryer combo or a washer and dryer. A standard Samsung Frame TV (not pictured) adds a great art feature to the forward wall. The master stateroom has an ensuite head and shower.

Guest Stateroom

Whether you choose a two or three stateroom layout, you can have at least one queen bed for guests. Other options include bunks or office configurations. You can also choose a layout with two single beds that can slide together to become a queen and a third fold-down bunk.

This forward VIP guest room rivals the master stateroom on many vessels of this size. With headroom of 89″ when you enter, large hull windows and an overhead hatch, the room feels light and open. A true queen size bed with easy access on each side will have your guests sleeping comfortably (some would argue, too comfortably). There is plenty of storage for extended cruising and easy access to the head and shower in the hallway, allowing for privacy for owners and guests alike.

Heads

The heads are richly finished with wood cabinetry and walls as well as solid surface flooring. High quality solid surface counters are standard. The standard toilets are the comfortable and reliable Tecma Silence Plus. The adjoining separate showers are molded fiberglass, with premium solid surface accent walls and flooring. A mosaic adds color and a touch of class. The showers have over 6′7″ of headroom and plenty of space to move around. The shower drains to a reliable Whale automatic sump pump. Large stainless steel portholes provide nice ventilation.

EQUIPMENT

Quality Equipment; Well Laid Out

All North Pacific Yachts are designed so that all equipment, wiring and plumbing is easy to access. There are numerous hatches throughout our boats; headliners are attached with Velcro and screw caps are used to make removal of teak wiring chases and other access panels easier. In order to ensure accessibility throughout the interior, the NP49 is built and varnished before most of the wiring or equipment is installed.

We only install top quality, brand name equipment to ensure safer and easier long-term operation of our boats. The equipment list is continually evolving as new and innovative products become available. If we feel that the ownership experience would be enhanced by adding equipment or upgrading the standard list, we make those changes.

Floor Structure

All floors in the North Pacific 49′ are held up by an interlocking aluminum grid. Unlike wood, this grid will never sag or swell over time, meaning it will always be easy to remove hatches.

Electronics

A full set of Garmin electronics is included in the base price of the North Pacific 49E Pilothouse. This includes chart plotters, autopilot, radar, fish finder and VHF radios. Due to electronics evolving so quickly, the standard list changes, so please inquire for details.

Mechanical Equipment

The North Pacific 49E is powered by a single 355 hp QSB 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. The 355 hp QSB is a good choice, pushing the NP49E along at a 7-10 knot cruise with a top speed of about 11.5kts. Larger engines are available for higher top speeds. Twin engines and get-home engines are also available.

With the single engine configuration, the propeller, shaft and rudder are fully protected, taking much of the worry out of watching for logs while cruising in the Pacific Northwest or hitting the bottom on the ICW. Standard equipment on the North Pacific 49E includes an oversized rudder and 24v Sleipner bow thruster, giving you the maneuverability to make docking in any slip easy. A stern thruster is optional equipment for those who like the maneuverability of twins but the economy of a single engine.

Electrical Equipment

Wiring on the NP49E shows our careful attention to every detail. It is tinned, color coded, numbered, and runs through clean and well-laid-out wiring chases. A quiet Northern Lights generator with sound shield and water/gas separator, Victron pure sign wave inverter/charger, 160-amp alternator and a large AGM battery bank means you’ll have plenty of power. If you are looking to extend your time at anchor without running the generator, solar panels are available as are lithium battery options.

Engine Room

The engine room on the North Pacific 49E is spacious and well lit. It is well insulated with 2″ foam/rubber/lead sound dampening insulation. In addition to this, rubber is installed on the aluminum grid above the engine room to cut down on noise and vibration. The engine room is easily accessed through three removable floor hatches on the salon floor. Once in the engine room, there is plenty of headroom and space to move around. Located in the engine room is the generator; two baffled fiberglass fuel tanks (separately made with vinyl ester resin coated with gelcoat) with a total capacity of 700 gallons (up to 920 gallons is optional); 20-gallon water heater; and an oil change system.

Sanitation and Plumbing

The plumbing is PEX with compression fittings for a long lasting and very reliable system. We use Trident Premium sanitation hose with a 10-year guaranty against odor. External holding tank sensors are reliable and require no maintenance.

The freshwater system consists of a 200 gallon fiberglass tank in the bilge and heavy duty dual Marco pumps and accumulator tank for quiet and reliable operation.
