Description

Nauticat built their reputation with solidly built and well-finished motorsailers which motored better than they sailed. Alongside this they also built a range of ‘Pilothouse Sailing Yachts’ aimed at the sailor wanting a the protection of a wheelhouse without compromising the sailing performance of their yacht. The Nauticat 39 is a different kettle of fish, the first fo the Nauticat Pilothouse Yachts to be raced and offered with a performance rig. Retaining the solid build and high-quality finish above and below decks she is built with sail being the primary mode of propulsion. Boasting a proper cockpit in the conventional yacht-style layout she also offers a well-protected internal helm position with a dedicated wheel and single lever morse control.

Offering comfortable accommodation for 7 with 3 double cabins and two heads he Nauticat 39 ODYSSEY os an ideal offshore cruising boat. The internal helm station suits northern climes and changeable conditions; perfect for extending the season. Having cruised around the UK and to the Baltic with her current owner she is now reluctantly offered for sale with a comprehensive inventory including highlights such as:
