Nautitech Open 40 Owner's Tour out at Sea & in the Marina. Now a Classic Sailing Catamaran Design?

Join us on "Gecko" for a comprehensive tour while sailing and in the marina on a Nautitech 40 Open. This popular cruising catamaran continues to attract fans thanks to its blend of performance and comfort. It's a great design from Marc Lombard - we show you why with sailing clips shot in various conditions (zero wind to 45 knots).
Of course, every boat is a compromise, and we discuss the Pros and the Cons of this sailing catamaran versus other yachts in her class.
We hope you enjoy the review.

Thanks for the overview. I also watched your video when you rented the Excess 11. What made you decide to choose the N40 over the Excess? Am looking at both. I'll need something to single hand at times, so the reefing at the mast has me wondering about this boat.

Hi Chris. Tough choice, I took delivery at the end of 2019 so the Excess 11 wasn't available. The Excess has more room down below but the Nautitech has better living space up top (you can stretch out full length on the benches for example). The Nautitech has the edge on performance I would say. Resale- about the same? Then you have the reefing. I grew to like that position in the end (very simple). There's a winch by the mast and it is close on a 40 footer, but you do need to go forward. I hope that helps.

Too exposed to the elements @ the helm and having to go to the maste killed the comfort and the joy for me. I pass on this one.

So much fun to sail though!
