Opening sequence for the Great Loop videos. 2026 is the year this wild idea of a solar electric catamaran becomes our full time home as we travel 6,000 miles around America’s Great Loop. We start by going North along the ICW and Chesapeake Bay. After the Hudson River takes us past New York City, it’s off to the Trent Severn Waterway, Georgian Bay and Great Lakes. Next, we head through downtown Chicago as we follow the birds South down the Inland Rivers into the Gulf. From there we navigate around Florida. Weather permitting, we would like to try our hand at bluewater as we jump across to the Bahamas for a month. Finally, we pick back up with the ICW and cross our wake sometime in 2027! Please come along and support our adventure by clicking like, share and subscribe but most importantly comment.

The 2021 Nautitech 40 Open owner version catamaran is a remarkable sailing vessel designed for those who appreciate both speed and comfort. It provides ample space for onboard living and exceptional stability. The vessel is suitable for various marine environments, including shallow waters. Inside, the catamaran features three cabins and two bathrooms, providing six fixed berths, with an option to convert the saloon table into additional sleeping space. Powering the Nautitech 40 Open are two Volvo Penta D1-30F engines, each delivering 30 horsepower, combined with a lightweight 550 Ah lithium battery system and 1185 watts of solar power. These features ensure the vessel's energy efficiency and independence, crucial for extended blue water cruising. Enhancements like Coppercoat antifouling and folding propellers further optimize performance. Additional onboard amenities, such as a water maker and a washing machine, underscore the vessel's commitment to self-sufficiency and long-term comfort. Having been delivered from France and sailed 17,006 nautical miles to the US East Coast over three years, this catamaran is well-proven in its capabilities. The Nautitech 40 Open comes equipped with numerous upgrades and options, including an electric anchor windlass, comprehensive navigation systems with B&G electronics, and cockpit and interior enhancements for added comfort. Features like the FUSION audio system, custom Tempur mattresses, and practical items such as a cockpit enclosure and sunshades make life on board both enjoyable and convenient. Additionally, safety equipment, a dinghy with an outboard engine, and an array of spare parts ensure the vessel is prepared for any journey, making it an ideal choice for dedicated sailors seeking adventure on the high seas.
