This Yacht All Pre-Owned Yachts   Features Video North Pacific Yachts 49 Euro Pilothouse Classic Look, Modern Layout With the 49 Euro Pilothouse, North Pacific Yachts said it wanted to move away from traditional trawler layouts to appeal to a more contemporary customer. Part of the “Euro” designation is a sliding glass salon door that’s at least 10’ (3.05 m) wide and creates a 4’ (1.22 m) wide opening that can be filled with a bug screen or privacy shade. Another element of the Euro package was moving the galley to the main deck just inside the aforementioned door so it can serve the salon and aft deck easily. Because she’s an LRC, the 49 Euro Pilothouse has a full-sized stainless-steel refrigerator. Photos by Jim Raycroft. More...
