What this video covers

The Nautitech 44 Open prioritizes sailing performance over interior volume, distinguishing itself from competitors that emphasize living space.0:29 During sea trials off La Rochelle in 8–10 knots of wind, the catamaran achieved speeds nearly matching the wind speed on close reach angles.0:23 The design features a low boom and a low center of gravity, which enhances stability and handling at sea.0:44 Dual helm stations on each hull provide direct steering feedback, though they offer limited visibility that requires looking through the salon to monitor the opposite hull.1:11

The interior layout includes a utility room equipped with a washing machine, extra refrigerator, and drying space, which reduces the size of the owner’s cabin compared to similar-sized catamarans like the Lagoon.3:10 The salon functions primarily as a lounge area, while the primary outdoor living space is situated on the same level as the cockpit.4:16 Priced at approximately 8 million NOK, the vessel offers high build quality for those prioritizing offshore sailing characteristics over a floating home.4:48
