What this video covers

The Nautitech 48 Open is a performance-oriented catamaran designed for private owners rather than the charter market, with a price point of approximately 14 million NOK.0:18 The vessel features narrower hulls and a lower overall beam than typical cruising catamarans, which lowers the centre of gravity and improves handling in heavy seas.0:19 The design includes a low boom, which enhances sail performance and contributes to a higher average speed, with reported speeds reaching 20 knots during transit to Palma.3:39 The boat utilises fixed, deep-profile keels rather than daggerboards to maintain high pointing ability and speed on various points of sail.4:52 The interior layout prioritises a large navigation station and a functional workspace over maximising the number of cabins and heads.1:51 A digital CAN bus system manages electrical components, with a manual override option available for redundancy.1:59 The "Open" concept integrates the cockpit and saloon into a single living space, which can be enclosed with canvas during inclement weather.2:26
