Character

Where this design lands on the numbers a shopper trusts — read straight from her own ratios.

Shoal draftDraws 1.19 m, board up where she has one — creeks, sandbars and thin anchorages most keels have to stay out of.
LightHeavy

117 — light for her waterline, so she is easily driven and quick to accelerate.

Displacement / length 117
EasygoingPowered-up

23.4 — a lot of sail for her weight; powered-up and eager, a real performer.

Sail area / displacement 23.4

What the fleet has seen

The Nautitech 40, as the fleet has seen it

Derived from the videos the fleet has analysed of this model. ▶ marks open the moment aboard.

The Nautitech 40 is a cruising catamaran designed by Mortain & Mavrikios, built by Nautitech Catamarans since 2003. It features a fractional sloop rig with a rotating spar, measures 12.1 meters LOA, has a 6.5-meter beam, and draws 1.2 meters. Its displacement is 7399 kg. Aboard *Epic Navigator*, a Nautitech 40 demonstrated the challenges of catamaran docking in crosswinds, where a lack of planning and communication nearly led to collisions.10:21 The review emphasized the importance of slow speeds, strategic fender deployment, and clear crew instructions.3:38 For difficult conditions, dropping an anchor off the bow before approaching a quay can provide stability, and arriving early or hiring a professional skipper can mitigate risks.14:54
