Nautitech Open 40 boat test – this cat will make you purr

  • Matthew Sheahan
  • October 14, 2015

The many qualities of the Nautitech Open 40 make a compelling case for choosing a catamaran over a monohull, says an impressed Matthew Sheahan

nautitech catamaran 40

Product Overview

Space, stability, performance and even safety, if you’re a monohull sailor you will be familiar with the key points of the arguments that multihull advocates present for having two hulls rather than one. In the main, their evidence is hard to refute.

For the same overall length catamarans do indeed have much more volume, especially below decks. They don’t heel like a monohull, something that regularly gains favour with many sailing families. And as for safety, the lack of a ballast keel makes it very unlikely that they will sink, even if capsized, something that no Nautitech cat has ever done in 20 years, we are told.

But when it comes to performance, the argument is less compelling, depending on which cat we’re talking about. See our feature on the pros and cons of multihulls .

If they’re not laden with cruising kit, or are one of the latest generation of multi-decked superstructures modelled on wedding cakes with a tiny token rig stuck on the top, they can in certain conditions outpace an equivalent length monohull.

Most of the time they’re better when reaching, but struggle to keep pace upwind and, for the sailing-minded buyer, this can be a compromise too far.

But with the Nautitech Open 40 catamaran you have to think again because this is a boat that challenges a number of common preconceptions.

At first glance she doesn’t stand out as anything out of the ordinary. Yet look a little closer and she’s far cleaner, simpler and, as a result, more attractive than many typical production cruising cats.

AY7Q5026

There are, however, a few angles from which she looks dumpy and squared off and in places rather slab-sided. But in the main there are many good points in this new model and you can understand why she was the talk of the winter boat shows this year.

Surprising performance

In my opinion her strongest card is her performance under sail, not in the absolute speeds she achieves, but in the feel on the helm and the ease with which she can be handled.

With twin wheels set in each of the aft quarters you are not only enveloped in the security of a deep cockpit wall on the outer flanks, but have a superb view forward and through the wraparound windows in the coachroof. Indeed, the visibility to leeward is better when sailing upwind than aboard most monohulls with large overlapping headsails.

Both engine and sail controls are close to hand on either side with the additional benefit that the leads for the control lines have been well thought out and have far less friction than you would expect. This is particularly impressive given that most of the lines are led back to the cockpit discreetly and produce very little rope clutter.

This, combined with her well-balanced and light steering, makes her fun and rewarding to sail. During our sailing trials we got caught up in the opening stages of the upwind leg of a race in the Solent. Unable to resist lining up against a fleet of fully crewed monohulls, I was surprised at how well she coped.

T31A1180 copy

What she lacked in pointing ability in the 12-16 knot sea breeze she made up for with a typical upwind pace of 6-7 knots. She only really lost out through the tacks when her size and windage slowed her through the breeze, and her self-tacking blade jib didn’t have the power to see her accelerate like the monohulls – hardly surprising. But for cruising, especially short-handed, she was sufficiently nimble and easy to manhandle.

Off the breeze her furling Code 0, flown off a short bowsprit – one of the factory-fitted options – provided plenty of power and her eagerness to sit at 8-9 knots on a reach was clear. Again, she remained light and easy on the helm.

AY7Q5285

Under engine she’s a very manageable boat, and once again the helming position and the good all round visibility make her simple to manoeuvre in tight spaces. Fitted with the upgrade option of a pair of Yanmar 30hp engines (20hp is standard), along with two three-bladed Gori overdrive propellers, she motored at a brisk 7 knot pace with ease.

Otherwise her layout is pretty straightforward. There is plenty of space between the hulls to stow a dinghy on davits off the back of the cockpit, huge lockers forward to keep fenders and warps and plenty of additional stowage for extra sails such as the Code 0. All of which is very much in keeping with the typical layout of modern production cats.

Outdoor saloon

The arrangement of her main living accommodation is one of the few areas where she differs from the norm. Her saloon, for instance, is more outside than in. The patio-type doors and the main athwartships bulkhead run across the boat at approximately midships making the normal, inside living accommodation smaller than would be typical for this size of boat.

A modest table/navigation station is set to port and the galley is to starboard leaving the main saloon outside, abaft the patio doors where it shares the cockpit space.

Screen shot 2015-09-07 at 14.37

While this might sound unusual – and less appealing for colder climates – the layout is certainly comfortable and practical and can be arranged to provide more shelter if required with the awning panels that clip into the underside of the coachroof and the cockpit coamings.

Apart from making the outdoor saloon a more pleasant place to sit while sailing or at anchor, the logic behind the configuration also stems from looking at how people actually use their boats. If it’s warm enough to be aboard that’s fine, but if it’s too cold the pub or a restaurant is a popular option.

The Nautitech comes in either a three or four cabin configuration, the former aimed at an owner’s layout with a spacious heads and shower area in the forward end of the port hull where a cabin would be in the four-cabin version. Both layouts have the provision for single skipper/crew berths in the bows.

AY7Q5311

There are a couple of areas that may raise an eyebrow or two. The first is her builder, Bavaria. If you didn’t know before you started looking over her you’d be hard pressed to guess. So why would Bavaria want to build multihulls?

The answer lies in their desire to expand in the charter market, which they believe now means having a range of multihulls. So, instead of developing a range from scratch, Bavaria chose to buy into the market with the acquisition of Nautitech in 2014 and keep the production outfit in Rochefort, near La Rochelle.

The transaction has been of benefit to both sides after Bavaria brought its expertise in joiner work to Nautitech and raised the game for the French builders. This catamaran has also been designed as a powerboat. Seeing an identical looking boat passing at twice the speed with no rig and the crew sitting on the coachroof cum flybridge is bound to take the owners of the sailing version by surprise.

As is so often the case, once you start sketching out the ideal wishlist for a good, practical family cruiser the sum of the parts can easily point to a catamaran. Yet no matter how compelling the advantages of space and comfort are, factors such as performance and the practicality of berthing, especially in the UK, can count heavily against making a shift to two hulls.

But the Nautitech Open 40 goes a long way to addressing at least one of these issues. She really is a fun and rewarding cruiser to sail, especially as you don’t feel as if you’re perched high above the water and forced to sail from the leeward side on one tack at the only wheel on the boat.

AY7Q5085 copy

She lends herself well to short-handed sailing thanks to a simple, but intelligent cockpit layout. And when it comes to berthing, at just 40ft LOA she’s sufficiently modest in length and beam to slip into most marinas and harbours.

Her price tag of £291,600 ex VAT will make her feel considerably bigger than a typical 40ft monohull, but then that is because she is, especially below decks.

So, though at first glance you might think she’s just another production cat, the reality is the Nautitech Open 40 is quite different. I was impressed.

Owner’s Review : Gecko

We were recently asked a list of questions on the Nautitech 40 Open from a prospective buyer, Alex, who is deciding on options for a new boat. I’ve asked him to compile a list of questions that we can answer in one go and load them up onto the owner’s review section of katamarans.com to help other people.

We’ve featured owner’s reviews on other boats, so why not our catamaran?!

nautitech catamaran 40

Here it is:

Intro  (from Alex): One of the great attributes of the sailing community we are a part of is the willingness of sailors to share their experiences and knowledge. Purchasing a new boat is an exciting event. We (our family) are preparing to order a new Nautitech Open 40 and while we have looked at several catamaran manufactures and chartered cats, including an Open 40, there are always those last minute questions that when answered help cement our decision and the financial commitment we are about to make.

Being retired, this will probably be the last boat we own and want to be as comfortable and safe as possible, and be on a boat that I can operate singlehanded. Here are some questions for Gideon and the crew of Gecko.

Why an Open 40 ? There are quite a few catamarans in the 40 foot range, what made you decide on a Nautitech Open 40? I researched quite a few catamarans in this length and price range including Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Leopard and Seawind, to name a few. I was after a good balance between performance and comfort and the Nautitech 40 ticks a lot of these boxes. We will be primarily using the boat in the Mediterranean, so the Open concept works well for us – twin aft helms leaving a big open space joining the saloon and cockpit.

nautitech catamaran 40

The Saloon You have spent a fair amount of time on the boat during a part of the year that does not encourage you to be outside in the open salon area, how did you find the interior space of the boat, especially in the salon? Very comfortable with 4 of us making the delivery from La Rochelle to Barcelona in some pretty nasty weather. We went for the heating system that pipes warm air into the saloon and hulls and even the cockpit (warms up pretty quickly when you have the cockpit enclosures down).

Cooking How did those assigned to cooking manage with the galley? It’s a handy place to prepare meals- you have everything in a triangle – oven, hobs, fridge and working surface looking forward to starboard. We tended to store frequently used food stuffs in the cupboards in the starboard hull- you can just nip down the steps to get what you need. The cupboard at the back of the hob is more difficult to use as you need to lean over the hobs to access. You just need to watch what you are doing when the hobs are on.

I thought the sink is a bit small, any thoughts on that? (I am discussing having the sink changed to a much larger single sink or a double sink). We didn’t have any problems with that, although a double sink would work well. The only thing we noticed is that the tap does not protrude very far out from the side of the sink, so you get a lot of splash back out of the sink. This would be better if it had a longer arm.

To Bimini or Not to Bimini You have the Bimini over each helm station, have you considered adding an enclosure for each Bimini helm station (windscreen + lateral sides). We didn’t go for the biminis as I prefer to be in the Open for maximum sailing feel. In any case, I thought the biminis were too small to give much sun cover unless the sun was directly overhead. I’ll be wearing a hat if it’s sunny and feeling the breeze on my face. If the weather turns nasty, I tend to tuck in under the coachroof anyway, or helm from inside the saloon by the B&G station- where there is excellent visibility.

nautitech catamaran 40

Table I personally like the smaller chart table / eating table in the salon. What table option did you select? We went for the larger telescopic table that you can make into a night watch bunk, and I wouldn’t change that- it worked really well for the person on watch, and for eating around the table. It’s a really cosy space. The only thing I am going to change is to shorten the rail on the port side as you tend to knock into it every time you get up from the table. I think with the smaller table, you have less dining areas if the weather turns nasty. We were stuck in La Rochelle for a week in bad weather and I though we’d all go mad- quite the opposite.

There are three versions of the Open 40, which one did you select? CHARTER version WEEKENDER version EXPLORER Version We went for the Explorer option.

Sailing Boat Handling Your November trip from La Rochelle to Port Ginesta seems to have handed you some nasty weather. How did the boat handle? Overall I am extremely pleased. She felt very safe when reefed down to match the conditions. With the second reef in, you are covered up to 35 knots apparent wind speed when you take some of the solent in. We had one occasion off the Cape of Trafalgar where the weather blew up to 45 knots. With 3 reefs in, the mainsail is very central (and small) and she balances well – again, felt safe. Reef early as there is not much difference in speed shortening sail when you are on the limit [ she likes to be balanced, and it’s a much comfier ride. We made the mistake of not taking the gennaker in early enough and had a job getting the sail in, ripping it in the process- lesson learned, take the gennaker in early

How did you find the motion of the boat? Well, she is a 40 foot boat, and she pitches more than a 45 boat. I felt pretty bad across the Bay of Biscay, but it normally takes me 2-3 days to get my sea legs and those were very rough conditions. You can see that Nautitech have worked to centralise the weight, so the anchor pops out of the nacelle for example, and doesn’t sit on the bow. The engines are stepped forward. I think the motion is no worse or slightly better than any other 40ft cat. She’s pretty stable the other way (rolling), and we had some pretty big waves on the beam which she just rolled over- no problems. Coming out of La Coruña, we had her smashing straight into 8m waves and she handled that well.

When we chartered an Open 40, we had some very choppy seas and and it took some time to get used to the motion of the boat. Did you experience any hobby horsing? See above. This is where the 40 HP engines come in handy. We had one situation where we were bouncing up and down a bit on one engine. Once we fired up both engines, she pushed through the waves well- problem solved, often it’s a case of matching your speed to the conditions and wave frequency.

Going upwind, into a chop, many owners of cats describe some degree of bridge deck pounding, given the rough conditions you had, how would you describe your experience on Gecko? Yes some bridge pounding, but we were in very rough conditions in the Bay of Biscay going into it. But more like every now and then on a rogue wave rather than continually. Going downwind, she surfs nicely, our top speed was 18 knots I think, you get this kind of humming sound and off she accelerates- quite a ride!

Sails and Controls What sails do you have on the boat? We have the standard sails plus a gennaker reacher (70sqm) which we can run off the bowsprit.

What additional sails or upgrades to sails (i.e square top main) did you purchase from Nautitech? See above

What downwind sails do you have in terms of spinnaker or Asym ? Just the gennaker at the point

What sails do you have for the sprit? Just the gennaker

nautitech catamaran 40

How have you rigged the boat for reefing? Can you reef from the cockpit or do you have to go forward to the mast? This was one of the things I was trying to get Nautitech to do from the start – to run the reefing lines back to the cockpit like the bigger boat- the 46. However, they don’t seem to be set up to easily do these kinds of custom requests, so I will be changing the reefing system later. At the moment, all the reefing is done from the mast. Having said that, we managed that in some pretty rough conditions, although I do need to have a think about how to tidy up the lines at the mast, by running reefing lines through their own individual block, for example. This needs more thought, I’d welcome any more ideas here.

Did you add any winches to the port side to make it easier to control sails from either side of the boat? We have an electric winch to starboard and a manual to port. This worked well. More winches would be even better of course.

Systems Electronics What electronics packages do you have? We went Nav Pack Cruise and added radar. If it’s in your budget, I would go for Nav Pack Advanced.

How do you like the B&G instruments? The system is pretty powerful and takes work to get used to it, but pretty happy with it. Make sure the system is set up as a sailing boat rather than motor- we had problems setting course to wind direction, for example. All of the boat systems (lights, pumps and so on) are on the B&G display which takes some getting used to. It works, but it’s not that intuitive at first and the text is pretty small. I might change this to a more traditional switch panel later.

Have you added any additional electronics since you purchased the boat? Not yet.

What solar panels do you have? We went for the 4x100W. We didn’t see much sun, so I can’t tell you how they perform!

Can you operate AC appliances from your batteries via the invertor? Yes- that is definitely worth getting. We ran a rice cooker and coffee machine off it for example when sailing. It’s a simple switch on the side of the nav station.

Other Factory Options:

While options are often based on personal preferences, way of life and how the boat will be used, can you comment on the following factory installed options:

30 or 40 HP engines? If 40, what is your view of the value of the added HP? 40 HP definitely. They give you more power to punch through waves if you are motoring upwind.

nautitech catamaran 40

Folding Props? (I added folding props to my monohull and would never go back – what is your experience?) Yes, definitely. These give you an extra knot of speed.

Did you include Synthetic Teak floor? I looked at it, but I couldn’t justify the cost in my budget. I prefer the look of natural teak personally, but there’s the weight consideration- it seems a shame to add too much weight onto her, we were quite careful in this regard.

Did  you add a generator? No, but we went for the additional service batteries. This set up worked fine for the 2 fridges and freezer.

Did you add a freezer? Yes, worth doing IMO if you are thinking of longer trips. The door kept opening in very rough conditions, something I will be looking into.

Did you install Air conditioning? No, we went for heating though. My rationale for that was I will only probably use a/c in the marinas, and for that I will just use a portable unit if I need it. Also, we didn’t want to add the weight.

Did you install Water maker? No, but that is top of my list for the next add-on. I think there are better options on the market (100l per hour) than the standard Nautitech fit, maybe better to retro-fit this IMO

What other options do you recommend? Anchor windlass control at helm station. Electronic throttle control on both helmstations if you can fit it in your budget, I couldn’t. Fridge in cockpit.

We didn’t go for the Nautitech delta anchor- instead, purchased a 25Kg Spade with 60m of chain. Also, we have ordered the dinghy and outboard seperately. We are going for a Gala A300D + Yamaha F9.9JMHS.

Taking delivery of Gecko

There is no question that these are complex boats with many systems. How would you describe your experience when you took delivery of Gecko? My broker was very good and helped with the language, as I only speak English and Spanish. It’s very important to have a broker who has a strong relationship with the yard as they are not really set up for direct contact with clients- it’s all done through the brokers.

Did you interact with anyone from the Factory? Yes- we met with Bruno Lescher (Sales and Marketing Director) at Cannes Boat Show and Laura Gobbo (sales) who gave us a tour around the factory just before Gecko launched- that is well worth doing, as you’ll be able to see all of the infrastructure of the boat going in.

Where there any issues identified on your inspection? The hand over was pretty “hands off” – mostly dealt with by the broker due to the language. However, we had good confidence in our broker (so cannot stress the importance of this strongly enough). We were missing one outside fridge (now installed) and one VHF unit (still pending).

How were they dealt with? So far, satisfactorily, this is ongoing.

I noted in your postings that you had some issues with the main salon door, have you resolved the issue? The issue here was that the locking mechanism on the frame was incorrectly installed. When we were in big waves, the doors jumped out of the lock which meant that they were free to slide along the track. We were able to lock them open during the passage, but obviously not ideal. I think it should be an easy fix, but we shouldn’t have had that issue in the middle of the Bay of Biscay in 5m waves.

Are there any other issues we should be aware of that we need to watch out for? Our invertor was faulty and was tripping the whole AC system. That is being replaced. I would also double check all of the standing rigging, runing rigging, sail bag etc. We missed a few things, stuff that wasn’t fully tightened. These were all small things, but best to go over the boat with a fine comb.

Really appreciate your information and hope this discussion helps others as well. It would be great to see more Open 40’s out there. No problem, happy to help and keep in touch, I hope your project goes well.

Nautitech 40

  • By Jeremy McGeary
  • Updated: November 29, 2006

nautitech catamaran 40

Competition is fierce in the world of catamarans, so to stay in the game, a builder has to stake out market territory. Nautitech Catamarans is laying claim to that segment of multihull devotees interested in the sailing as well as the après-sail aspects of cruising. Telling first impressions of the Nautitech 40 are the fine-entry, high-freeboard bows and the twin steering stations, one on the stern of each hull.

On the water in Miami, twin 29-horsepower Volvo saildrives provided typical cat agility for maneuvering around the marina, but we learned quickly not to be shy when applying power to counter the effect of a locally gusty crosswind on the high freeboard. Motoring out of Government Cut into the eye of the wind, the boat was unfazed by the mix of tide rip and boat wakes.

Under sail, the helm stations came into their own, giving the helmsman wind-on-the-face input to back up the instruments. Sailing upwind in a fluky, light southeasterly breeze, we saw steady speeds above 6 knots with bursts to over 7 in the puffs. The tacking angle was about 100 degrees, limited by the sheeting angle of the genoa, but with fixed shoal-draft keels, footing off is likely more profitable than pinching anyway.

The long, deck-mounted traveler permits incremental adjustments to the powerful roachy mainsail, and the double-ended mainsheet can be tended from either helm. Because main and genoa share the same winches, tacking entails a little ballet with the sheets and stoppers. Doubling up on the winches would simplify maneuvers and provide more options for handling such add-ons as a preventer or a light-air funsail.

Boathandling arrangements are simple and seamanlike. The main halyard and reefing lines are tended from the mast, and it’s an easy step up to the cabin roof to stow or deploy the sail. No centerline nacelle or strut breaks the trampolined expanse between the bows. Hefty cleats integrated into the crossbeam anchors stand ready for bridles or mooring lines.

Inside the house, the saloon provides a second large social area. Considering that the boat can be set up with four double cabins, the galley is small, but from its location on the aft bulkhead, the cook can converse with the crew through a large sliding window.

Even indoors, the saloon has a pleasant, outdoorsy, summer-cottage feel due to the light through the wraparound windows and reflected off large areas of white fiberglass.

Down in the hulls, wood paneling lends a warm tone to the sleeping quarters. Space is a little tight down here, a measure of the slippery slender hulls, but by judicious use of the bridgedeck volume, the designers have created comfortably sized cabins with queen-size athwartships berths. In the charter version, there are two in each hull. In the owner version, which would make a commodious liveaboard vessel, the starboard hull is devoted to a suite: A huge fore-and-aft berth fills the stern, a large head and separate shower occupy the forward part, and, in between, there’s a settee, a desk, and copious storage for clothes. Two extra crewmembers or children can be accommodated in small cabins in each bow.

A simple layout below, clean-cut lines above, and neatly sculpted details everywhere suggest that the Nautitech 40 will appeal to sportif catamaran sailors, while their children will find the one-piece trampoline irresistible.

THE NAUTITECH STYLE AT ITS PEAK TO SEDUCE THE SAILORS IN SEARCH OF EXCEPTION

Vast exterior salon, maximum space gain, optimization of safety and navigation elements for even more pleasure at sea... Nautitech revisits its Open concept in a signature catamaran model, with a fluid and sharp design to satisfy all sailors in search of long voyages and round-the-world sailing.

Don't miss your dream!

When ultimate comfort is combined with elegance and the pleasure of sailing, your trips become a true art of living. For this new model, Nautitech elevates the standards of comfort and sensations.

What is a Nautitech Catamarans ?

By definition, a catamaran is a boat with two hulls positioned next to each other. It is classified in the category of multihull boats with the trimaran.

Generally a pleasure boat, the catamaran is ideal for long distance travel due to its thinner hulls which allow for greater speed, greater water resistance, more stability and a larger deck area.

Catas

Since 1994, Nautitech, a historic French shipyard, has been designing execptional catamarans for sailing enthusiasts, ocean lovers and adventure seekers. Catamarans designed to put sailing back at the heart of the sea experience while preserving the balance between comfort-performance.

Why choose a Nautitech Catamarans ?

Combining onboard comfort and sailing performance, Nautitech catamarans and their Open range have been designed for solo sailors, friends, couples and families, for those who are passionate about the sea sailing. For ocean lovers in search of adventure, but also for those who want to go on vacation, cruise or even go around the world.

Catamarans have many advantages and are generally preferred to other types of boats and monohulls for:

  • Their comfort of navigation, thanks to their heel which makes the inclination on board almost null,
  • Their stability which allows a fluid and safe navigation: the movement pitches but does not roll, it avoids to the maximum the sea sickness on board.
  • Their space on board: thanks to its two hulls, the living space on board is doubled compared to monohulls.
  • Their comfort on board: thanks to their large openings, catamarans are better ventilated, brighter and offer magnificent 360 degree views on board.
  • Their control: thanks to its shallow draft, the catamaran makes it possible to get closer to the coast or to pass through places where it is impossible to pass with a monohull.
  • Their speed is greater than that of a monohull boat.
  • The independence on board that they allow: the possibility of having a real personal space on board.
  • Their safety: designed to be unsinkable, catamarans have watertight holes that guarantee buoyancy in case of capsizing.
  • Their low energy consumption: due to the favoring of sailing when the conditions allow it.

Nautitech catamarans and their Open range are built around a strong concept combining quality, performance and comfort.

The Open concept, a fundamental element of Nautitech's ADN, is based on a spacious living space where the salon and cockpit are one. The layout is designed around an original bar concept that places sharing and circulation on board at the heart of the experience. The ideal sailing boat to learn about life on a boat and share such an adventure while discovering the joys of sailing on a sailing catamaran of great technical quality.

Open

You will be able to create a daily life together while respecting the personal space and the intimacy of each one, on board a boat conceived with large spaces thought for the life in community with a rigorous technique and a safety on board without fault. Wake up in a cabin bathed in sunlight and meet on deck for breakfast. Cooking, sunbathing, sailing, and enjoying the talents of young and old alike in spaces designed for daily life.

Your choice of sailboat model will depend on your budget, the number of feet you want according to the size of your group, the type of engine you are looking for, the ideal number of cabins...

All you have to do is choose your ideal partner!

The catamaran : the ideal boat for travelling

Whether you are embarking on a solo trip, with friends, as a couple or as a family, and whether you are sailing around the world for a year, the Mediterranean, the Pacific or the Indian Ocean, it will be necessary to choose the best travel companion for what will become one of the most beautiful epics of your life.

Ideal for long-distance travel thanks to its many advantages combining living comfort, sensations, unfailing safety and sailing performance, the sailing catamaran seems to be a quality choice for embarking on great adventures across the seas and oceans of the globe.

Designed for communal living with its large living spaces ensuring privacy for everyone thanks to its large cabins, as well as for an optimal sailing experience guaranteeing safety and rigorous technique, the sailing catamaran will quickly become the sailboat and home of your dreams for a long crossing. Like a new heavenly stopover.

So, whatever the route, set course for the destination of your dreams and take on the challenge of your life by planning your crossing... and why not your round-the-world catamaran trip !
