New For 2020: Jeanneau’s NC 895 Sport

July 9, 2020

The NC 895 Sport has redefined what 29 footer can offer with a fully enclosed cabin and an innovative layout that combines the design features for security, ergonomics and true comfort aboard. The NC 895 Sport is truly an all-weather craft equally suited for the cool weather of the Pacific Northwest or an Ontario heat wave.

THE EXTERIOR
The NC Sport is built for outside living at its best. With this in mind the 895 Sport offers a spacious convertible cockpit complete with an U-shaped aft folding bench seats and table that allows you to tailor your day underway. The aft benches fold up, maximizing the space for stowing of tubes and coolers. Engines can also be fully tilted up out of the water, while still using the aft cockpit space. When it’s time to store the paddleboards and kayaks, throw them up on the secured stand up paddleboard rack.

The deck layout has a “no-steps” side deck running along the starboard side connecting the aft cockpit to a spacious forward cockpit making it simple and easy when moving fore and aft between the two areas. When tied up, there is safe side gate access door for on and off boarding and side door access to the helm station on the starboard side deck.
The L-shaped salon converts into a full sunpad with easy access to the anchor locker.

THE INTERIOR
The entire interior has been reimagined on the NC 895 Sport! The salon has a large opening sunroof allowing for lots of natural light or opt-in for a soft roof for a true open-air adventure. To port you have a forward galley with sink and gas stove next to the reversible co-pilot seat. The facing table seating in the salon can be converted into an additional berth for overnights on the water. To starboard you have a 17 Gal fridge and storage space under the pilot seat. The helm station has a large side door for quick access to the cleats while tying up.

Down below, the NC 895 Sport has two enclosed double cabins and a separate shower and head compartment.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
