What's the make of this boat

[April]

We have been looking at a boat that was leftnear ours and it will be for sale soon. My Husband I realy like this boat and were thinking of investigating it further. The name on the side is North Star numbers on the metal plate on the rear is NS1000-31 someone stated it was a Hughes 1/2 ton but I have not found any information on this type of boat on the internet or anywhere else. If you can tell be more about this please contact me. The boat seems to be a blue water boat and rigged for racing but that's all we can tell at this point. Thanks for your information if anyone has some. from "Good Times"April

Canadian Built Hughes Northstar 1000

April, I have included a link to the history of the Hughes (Canadian) boat factory, including the model (1/2 ton, 31' sloop) you are interested in. There are quite a few still sailing in Ontario. I have been in contact with the son of the builder and the moulds still exist. These were well built boats, and many won races in there day, including the 500 (1/4 ton) and the 1500. Many have stood the test of time. Good luck with your purchase.Don
