Landlubber Walks Through Our Nauticat 38 – Is This the Boat for Life After 50?

A complete landlubber’s walkthrough of our 1982 Nauticat 38 pilothouse motorsailer, Maja. In this video a complete beginner (no sailing experience) takes us through the boat – the pilothouse, saloon, galley, cabins, storage, and the everyday living spaces. No polished “yacht broker” talk. Just honest first impressions of what it’s actually like to step aboard a solid Finnish motorsailer that has become our home.
