Nautitech Open 40 Tour. Did we make a HUGE Mistake??? S6#30

After two years without a boat, we finally found what we hoped would be our next floating home… a Nautitech 40 Open. But did we make the right decision? In this full walkthrough, we take you aboard our new-to-us Nautitech 40 Open and show you every part of the boat—from the spacious aft cockpit and saloon to the cabins, galley, helm stations, engines and storage. We also share the features we absolutely love, along with the compromises every sailor has to make when choosing a cruising catamaran. One of our biggest concerns before buying this boat was the dual outside helm stations, which leave the skipper exposed to the sun, wind and rain. Was that a deal-breaker? Or do the incredible sailing performance, open living space and social cockpit more than make up for it? Whether you’re dreaming of buying a catamaran, planning to sail around the world, or simply love boat tours, this episode gives you an honest first look at what it’s really like to own a Nautitech 40 Open. Along the way, we also share practical cruising tips and simple life lessons we’ve learned from decades of sailing—small changes that can make life onboard safer, easier and far more enjoyable. If you’ve ever considered a Nautitech 40 Open, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Would you choose outside helm stations for the sailing performance, or would you rather have an inside helm?
