1934 Custom Northern Michigan NM
Northern Michigan (NM) 32' sloop hull #5 "Rookie". It's difficult to understand why this beautiful and capable keelboat of 32 feet overall has remained unknown to all the yachting world except for a small bay on Lake Michigan's west shore. Here is a chance to own a piece of history and to own a boat that is iconic to Harbor Springs. Only 26 of these delightful sloops have been produced. The yacht was never intended as a national one-design, though it could easily be. The NM is a lean, easily driven hull with fairly firm bilges. In the chop and moderate breeze the NM comes into its own, excelling notably to weather. The NM has fine forward sections that fair into a cut away keel, she has a long rudder attached to the trailing edge. She draws five feet with 313 sq. ft. sail area and carries a spinnaker. The design is fairly stiff with 40% ballast (external) to displacement. The Harbor Springs NM fleet is active with weekly races throughout the summer. This boat has had extensive work over the years, is solid and ready to put in the water and sail...

We just closed a loan on our second yacht financed with Trident Funding. They continue to offer excellent customer service, a great rate, and timely processing. We would recommend them to anyone needing a yacht loan.
We could not have been more pleased with the ease of the process to secure our boat financing. The Trident team got everything prepared for us remotely by working with our broker and insurance agent which allowed us to enjoy our vacation. Status updates were frequent and helped us know all was proceeding properly.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all your help in the purchase of our 2017 Beneteau Swift Trawler earlier this year. Throughout the process of budgeting, planning, and dreaming, you were there every step of the way and I can’t thank you enough for the support you provided to us. Knowing that we got the right yacht, at the right price and financed her with a lender we can trust means everything. You’re the best!

Deck and Hull
The first Northern Michigans were built of cedar planking over oak frames. The decks on this boat were re-done in Douglas fir with mahogany seats and trim. The hull is covered in fiberglass.Cockpit sole is also Douglas fir and varnished.
The deck was stripped and refinished by Irish Boat Shop in the spring of 2021 to the tune of nearly $20,000. The splash rail was removed and all the existing finish on the deck was removed, Necessary repairs to the joints on the covering boards and butt joints in the deck planking were completed. The deck was finished with Awlgrip's Awlwood System which included their primer and nine additional coats of finish.
