Sailboat review expert Rupert Holmes came across a new 2015 Nautitech Open 40 at the London Boat Show, and he discovered that this sailing catamaran blends performance and comfort in ways any serious sailor is sure to appreciate. Whether you’re considering the boat’s layout, the choice of cabin and head arrangement, or sailing control and visibility, there are many points of interest you’ll want to know about. So join Rupert for this short look at the Naututech Open 40.
What you can’t see in this video is the French-built catamaran’s performance cred. Ninety one square meters of sail area, integrated keels, a carbon wheel, low windage and a low center of gravity, fine hulls—all combine to deliver a boat that performs far more impressively than the average multihull. While many sailing cats sacrifice speed and sailing ease to enhance room and comfort, the Open 40 instead splits the difference. And in doing so, it accomplishes multiple missions.
