We are delighted to present this new Nautitech Open 40 catamaran by Nautitech Catamarans in Charter configuration with 4 double cabins. This is a 2019 model, with the new grey coach roof, and Mark 2 Saloon configuration, where the galley faces aft to conjoin with the cockpit. The other big changes are the large Hull Picture windows, creating an even lighter ambience in the 4 double cabins. She has two heads and showers, and a cockpit shower. The Nautitech Open 40 catamaran Features: The “Open” 40 name relates to the designer’s vision of a sailing/living space unlike any other. The Mark 2 saloon has an aft-facing galley, fridge, new larger hull windows and a saloon lounge area, with an integrated ‘occasional’ navigation station. Two large coach roof hatches provide ventilation at anchor (along with two fans, and air conditioning as standard on the Horizon spec). Upholstery is in cream leatherette inside, with silvertex cushions outside. The oak interior adds to the contemporary aesthetics. The saloon opens seamlessly into the cockpit, providing a huge living area whether under sail or at anchor. A hard bimini covers the cockpit living space. With a helm position( and throttles) on each hull (with a bimini over both port and starboard helms), you are driving the boat from a position where you have good visibility forward and aft, and you are able to see all four corners of the boat. This configuration means that you can helm from the leeward or windward side, and the skipper is more sociably in the same living space as the rest of the crew. It also means that you are always on the favoured side of the yacht when docking! As well as the Sail magazine best boat award, the Open 40 was also named Cruising World’s best multihull cruiser for 2016. A cruising cat has always been a great boat to charter; the new Nautitech Open 40 catamaran adds the essential ingredient of simple, spectacular sailing as standard. Sailing performance is enhanced by: High-aspect rudders and high-aspect sails Self-tacking jib You get all the fun of a fast, close-winded cat, comfortably sailed by two people, but with the living space you would expect in a 45-footer! You can air-condition the entire cockpit at anchor (and the rest of the interior of course) thanks to Drop-down panels. The Open 40 seats eight people with ease at the cockpit table, and you can enjoy panoramic views throughout the cockpit and saloon. Other features to maximise your comfort include: Fusion stereo system with Bluetooth & USB B and G Autopilot Large B and G Chart Plotters at each helm 12 ft Dinghy with 15 hp outboard motor Then you go sailing! A fathead main ( which does not have to be clipped and unclipped from the track) is hoisted effortlessly with the electric winch, and as you bear off, the Solent jib is unfurled and sets beautifully on its self-tacking track. In 7.5 knots of wind, single-handed, without touching a sheet, the cat tacks through 105 degrees and never drops below 3.6 knots during the tack. She goes upwind easily at 40 degrees apparent. The new Nautitech Open 40 catamaran is a very well thought out catamaran, with a remarkable turn of speed, and handling to match. This is a yacht to get truly excited about.
