This is a great example of the legendary Nauticat 40 Pilothouse, designed by Sparkman and Stevens and built by Sitala in Finland. This is a rare boat, and with that I'd argue that she's delightfully weird in that you just don't see designs quite like this in boats of this size and vintage.
Tell me another 40' yacht from the 80s that incorporates a ketch rig, aft cockpit, pilothouse, huge galley, full beam aft cabin with an en-suite head, and a large forward cabin and second head? Combine that with a robust below the waterline fin keel and skeg-hung rudder. I'll wait.
I think this is my new favorite 40' design from this timeframe.

Wow WOW! I own a Morgan 38 and this boat makes me droll. I love my boat but I would trade it and give you $80, 000 more for this boat in a heartbeat!

If you are not familiar with Nauticats, these are the top motorsailors made in Europe. Extremely well built, sturdy, practical, liveable, but obviously very expensive. In fact, the price you indicate ($120K) for this particular vessel is very low. In Europe it would cost at least 50% more. Fantastic choice for your show. Well done.

@dxhamshack7905 12 күн бұрын

It depends on a lot of factors but one cant generalize Europe. Europe is not a country but a continent of 40 plus countries, even more counting dependencies, and there are huge differences in culture, economics, laws etc. Anyhow, looked up one in Sweden, was from 1984, slightly more engine hours but it seemed to have more modern equipment. Asking price 1,295,000 SEK which in todays exchange is about $120,500. That is pretty close, but then, this one had EU tax paid at 25%. There is also a 1990 one for sale for $118,900. And a 1997 for sale in England for as low as $74,900. Price vary of cource but the 40 is not so common as some of their other models.

This is my favourite of all the boats on your channel, the positioning of everything is perfect and the galley does not feel like an afterthought but designed for living with. The high bulwarks and handrails are a must in my point of view, I want one!

@SteifWood 20 күн бұрын

Nauticats have never been famous for their sailing capabilities, but this model was a vaste improvement from their older true motor sailor models. But their concepts have always been an inspiration for many of us. When I was in my teens I loved to draw and figure out my dream boat, and this model and its larger sibling the 441 was my point of departure. And still is. Good on you new owner. Especially for 112K.

@jasonmcintosh2632 20 күн бұрын

Nauticat also made boats with the pilot doors being sliding doors on the port snd starboard sides. When you open both doors, you get a wonderful breeze through the pilot house. It makes you feel outside but with the protection of the pilot house. I love the side doors much more that the Nauticats with the companion way. So much so i bought a Nauticat 44. Love it.

I toured one of these in PDX a few years ago. It looked neat (aside from some moisture issues after a dehumidifier died), but my concern was that the boat didn't seem easy to rig for single-handing -- all of the things to manage with the mainsail and headsail halyards had to be done at the mast, which meant you couldn't also steer the boat, as well, since you'd have to run around past the pilothouse. Definitely felt like a motor-sailor boat, and it absolutely is a two-plus-person affair.

When I saw "weirdest 40' sailboat..." I knew it would be a Nauticat. Seattle Sailing Club has a Nauticat 39, and it's an amazing 12-month a year boat, immune to our PacNW winters. But... The N39 is basically half as heavy as the N40. That's the thing w/ Nauticats. Half of them can go toe to toe w/ a Beneteau or Jeanneau. But the other half are bricks, basically like Lord Nelsons or Hans Christians. Super sedate and sea-kindly in big seas, but sloooooooooooooooooow. This is one of those. D/L=390.

@adammallerman8153 13 күн бұрын

Couple of things you might want to add: for a pilot house boat they can move. This isn't a motor sailor and the rig is perfect for the design.Hull speed is supposed to be seven and a half knots. I've crewed one of these on a long passage years ago and we just about touched 7 knots in perfect conditions with the tanks almost empty. Designed by Sparkman and Stevens, so damn good design! They're a Nordic boat built for the cold with double hull and deck. I would take one of these over an Amel. The one we were on had the showers drain into the bilge which I hate. Obviously there's windage... Absolute cow to get onto a dock if there's wind but that's all pilot houses. Overall, I love this boat!

@bartofilms 18 күн бұрын

Looks like an amazing deep water cruiser to me. Not weird at all. Something comparable would be the Rival 41', but Rival is likely a couple knots faster under full sail. Rival is a sloop w/o mizzen. I think Nauticat may perform better than Rival, Oyster, etc. in heavier seas. Hard dodger is a big plus in rough weather and colder climates as well. That is a lot of boat for $112K, if she's healthy.

@tedthesailor172 20 күн бұрын

Nauticats are about the nicest motorsailers from Scandinavia and even old bangers command high prices. In regard to the galley, I've never seen one that size as standard on a European boat of that scale. Big galleys are very much an American thing rather than European, and I suspect its been a custom order or a very nice retro-fit. Usually there would be a double-cabin where one half of the galley is...

If you live RV living then the boat for you. We had a few in the yard I managed in Greece and for hot climates terrible, for trucking around N Europe and Scandinavia great. Good build quality but worse sailing than say a Hallberg Rassey which isn't saying a lot. Teak decks are terrible though to be fair we (as a boatyard) made plenty of money out of them in the winter season.

Every screw in that teak deck is a potential screw. Teak weighs 50 pounds a cubic foot, so there is well over a ton of useless weight in that teak deck. It looks like a motorsailor, but profile views show a sailboat hull underwater. It's nice to be warm and dry in the pilot house, but the dark windows are a real liability when sailing at night. Solid handrails are a very good thing. I sailed across the Pacific, so I have a well informed opinion. No seat for the helm outdoors. :( Dingy in davits means no windvane. :( Wheel forward of the pedestal in "cockpit," which is weird and VERY bad. Imagine your hands banging the pedestal all the time. Strange layout for Florida. Makes more sense somewhere cold. V berth and its upper bunk is absurdly small and cramped. The builder tried to jam a 50' boat into a 40' boat. No seat for EITHER helm. Yanmar diesels are great, but access to the engine and generator? Lousy. Boat built for wee tiny munchkins.

Nauticat went to hell in the late 1980s when the founder bought a young trophy wife. Our shipyard did warranty work for several yacht brokers in Southern Europe. Every Nauticat sold out of Puerto Banus or Gibraltar spent months in our yard while the owners fought with the factory. Expected deep problems, dry glass, bad tabbing, under spec fittings, etc., etc. If that boat was originally purchased by Dermit Barnes, we spent 9 months and over $200,000 making it a good boat. Nauticats are also the worst sailing boats I have ever sailed through the straits of Gibraltar. At least the 40 is better than the 44, that was a total pig.

You never have to look round or reach between the wheel spokes to reach any controls. And you can lean against the pedestal while helming the boat. It may also help with aligning the wheel with the steering pump. These are Scandinavian designed N Sea live aboards built for travelling .
