Nautitech in comparison to the two major players in production catamarans are famed for their performance and are often the sailors choice in catamaran terms uncompromising in their pursuit of a preferred balance between comfort and performance. This one is a rather special example taken away from the factory at an early stage by its wealthy discerning owner keen to adopt a greener approach to sailing. In fact this one can not fairly be compared to a run of the mill production Nautitech, as it was originally built as a project to promote an upgraded option called "Greenboat" as a commercial venture, bristling with high tech upgraded equipment on all levels offering a much more luxurious fit out altogether. The Nautitech is a pretty looking catamaran, spacious and a spritely sailing catamaran, which really does knock spots of most of its rivals in its factory fitted standard guise, but this one is in another league . The condition of this pocket superyacht is beautiful and no prospective purchaser would fail to be impressed with every aspect inside and out. If your looking for a Nautitech in this size range you will not find a better example.
It was more like dodgem cars than yacht racing at the first mark of the Craobh to Oban passage race WHYW 2023. The team on the J109 GTR got themselves out of a tight spot by forcing the boat on the port lay line to duck them about 7 or 8 boat lengths from mark. They were then caught out by the fast flowing tide which pushed them well below the lay line. While the racing was tight everyone was playing fair either tacking or gybing there way out of the possible pile up while keeping clear. This is until the last boat on in the line on the port layline came steaming with no overlap at the thee boat lengths to shove it in at the top mark. The team on GTR decided it was better to play in safe on a long race, rounding up to avoid a collision. Sadly the boat which was in another class did not do circles choose instead to sail on as if nothing had happened. There was lots of tight racing across the whole week which made for a great regatta in the Scottish Highlands. The team at Bottom Up Boat hope you are enjoying the action from WHYW 2023.
