THE BEST 40' Sailboat I've EVER Seen [4K Tour] Learning the Lines

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!

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!

You are right an absolute gem. I currently have a 38 ft catamaran, but that 8s exactly the kind of mono I would be looking for if i needed a new yacht.

Love it! Great boat

One too many masts

Love to have a Nauticat, but $$$ and no scoop.

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.

40ft? OMG! That is one fantastic 40-footer! Congrats to the new owner, and ENJOY the LIFE!

Wow that's awesome that's very well done 👍👍 👍😊

They dont sail great. If sailing for you is home comforts and easyto live with though..

классная лодка!

Dang, I thought i was looking at a 50 footer!

I've been looking for a Nauticat 40'-44' and I really like this boat!
Nice not seeing the mizzen in the middle of the aft cabin.

Nice to have good new engine. Bad to have those screwed down teak decks.

beautiful...cozy..

Very good Learning the lines 👍🌏🤔✅✅✅ N.A MNDAA TNLA. to AA

The 39 Corbin CC has the same layout. Very unique layout and I love the aft cabin, gives it a bit more privacy.

I like the galley

It's too bad that right when you went below, it became a commercial. I had to stop the review and find something to watch that was not a sleep mask commercial

WOW, I had no idea you could get all that in 40 feet! Non sailor here, Maybe I'm missing something but where do you sleep when underway?

No question... The best live aboard in an affordable price range with the added bonus of comfort and style. My new dream boat.

Made in Finland.🇫🇮

The issues I always have with sailers is the lack of storage. Just seems your cramming in a couple changes of clothes and bare minimum food supplies and your out of luck for literally anything else. I just cant wrap my mind around having such a limited larder and closet.

Where did you go ?

Nauticat really is something else when it comes to building quality and details. Tried to find a serious and in depth information about the Nauticat 32 and 321 series but you can only find sold or forsale info and short videos. Could be a cool boat to look for in the future. Some of 1 series boats = 321 to 441.

That is the most voluminous 40 footer I have ever seen. It looks like a small ship in the interior.

That's a lot in a 40ft boat

We looked at it a few months ago and it is even more interesting in person. Love what the PO did with the galley! But the price tells the story, lots of deferred maintenance....

Most important info is missing: how about the design of the hull and keel?

Amazing liveaboard! Thanks for sharing!

Very unique boat, though I wouldn’t want to handle a ketch rig as I will only sail by my self most of the time

I wonder if anyone ever junk rigged a Nauticat. The current standing rigging would cost a fortune to replace.

I'm in love ! She is everything I would want - loved her layout - perfect for me. We don't see many like her here in Australia. I've often wondered if importing a boat is financially viable 🤔 Thankyou Jordan for showing her to us - great review as always mate...Cheers Alan, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, AUS

64'Boat is perfect, can handle lots of sea ways your love it

well organized, could be Dutch

My favorite Nauticat is the 52. But they only made them in the late 80s

Then they chose to just make the 525 model.

Is this a Ketch or a sloop

You look like a cop!....just saying.....

Grt walk through. Thank u. I usually get wowed 1 to 2 times. This got 4. Pilot house. Galley. Aft cabin. T bunk in t forward cabin. And t settee in t aft. Crackin boat.

Unfortunately the builder, Oy Yachts, went out of business.

for sale now at 155k

But. like all N'Cats, they are so UGLY. Life is too short for an ugly boat.

look also to FRANCHINI YACHTS 41/43L ... (mine)

A lot of water coming out of that pump in the opening shot

Interior is wonderful, but that cockpit layout is not. The overhead cover would flap in the wind like crazy. The steering wheel blocks entrance to the companionway and forward winch. The shore power cable goes to the helmstation so it blocks entry/egress as well.

The repairs will add up to a surprising final figure. Replacing that teak will not be cheap. The standing rigging will also be twice as expensive to replace. Most of these old boats need the rigging inspected and/or replaced.

Off topic question for you a Jordan - do many boats come with a maintenance schedule folder?

A list of “change oil x date or x hours” and things like that “check spark plugs for corrosion every 3 months”

A list like this would be really handy and I don’t think any sailing channel has done anything like it. New sailors often don’t know what they should be checking, many people don’t even know about their car and that’s not likely to sink 😄

If anyone has one of these they don't want,
let me know <3 I'll give it a great forever home.
