The Nauticat 40, built in 1991, is a versatile sailing yacht known for its robust construction and excellent sailing characteristics. The vessel has a length of 12 meters and a width of 4.10 meters, providing stable sailing and ample space on board. With a draft of 1.75 meters, it is suitable for both shallow waters and open seas. With an air draft of 18.65 meters, it is not possible to sail under most bridges.
The Nauticat 40 is made of polyester, a durable material that requires little maintenance despite osmosis. The ship accommodates four fixed berths and two additional berths, making it suitable for longer trips with family or friends. The headroom of 2 meters ensures a comfortable living space, even for taller individuals.
The boat is equipped with a Ford Lehman inboard engine of 95 hp, connected to a propeller. For excellent maneuverability, there is also a bow thruster. The engine is electrically started and operational, but it requires maintenance, as the last inspection was in 2014. The cruising speed is around 6 km/h, making the vessel suitable for both leisurely trips and longer journeys.
The Nauticat 40 is equipped with extensive navigation equipment, including an autopilot, depth sounder, fishfinder, GPS, compass, radar, and wind meter, making the ship suitable for both short and long voyages. The sail plan consists of a mizzen, jib, and mainsail, with a furling system for the foresail. The masts are made of aluminum, providing a strong and durable construction.
In addition to the technical equipment, the ship offers various comfort amenities, including a shower, dining area, refrigerator, stove, oven, and hot water. The accommodation is simple but functional, with a manual toilet and a drainage system that discharges directly into open water.
Although the ship currently has some maintenance issues, such as the need to maintain the teak deck, inspect the freshwater tank, and replace the batteries, it offers great potential for a sailor willing to invest in the maintenance and renovation of the yacht.
Weighing 4000 kg, the Nauticat 40 is a sturdy vessel suitable for various waters. It was designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built by Siltala Yachts, with hull number 67. Steering is via a wheel with a single rudder and dual control. The boat is registered with the land registry and must be transferred or deregistered at a notary, facilitating traceability and ownership.
The Nauticat 40 offers a solid foundation for a sailing adventure, both for day trips and longer journeys. With the right care, this ship can once again become a reliable and comfortable companion for sailing across oceans or inland waters.
