Nauticat 38 (1980) For sale

The Nauticat 38 is an emblematic motorsailer sailboat from the Finnish shipyard Nauticat Yachts, renowned for the quality of construction of its units and their ability to sail comfortably over long distances. Designed for offshore cruising, this model combines the seaworthiness of a traditional sailboat with the practicality of an indoor wheelhouse, allowing you to sail comfortably in all weather conditions.
This 1980 Nauticat 38 has benefited from a recent complete restoration, carried out about 300 hours of engine operation. This upgrade now ensures a healthy boat ready to sail.
The engine is provided by a Ford Lehman diesel engine of 80 horsepower totaling 4900 hours. This engine is renowned for its robustness and reliability in the world of yachting. It allows the boat to reach a cruising speed of around 7 knots with an extremely low consumption of around 4 litres per hour, making it a particularly economical unit for long sailing.
The solid fiberglass construction and typical Nauticat design provide excellent stability and reassuring behavior at sea. The wide and secure side decks make it easy to move around the deck, while the wheelhouse allows you to sail under cover.
The interior of the boat is particularly comfortable for a sailboat of this size. It has two double cabins that can accommodate several people on board, as well as two bathrooms. The living areas are generous with two separate lounges: a lounge in the wheelhouse that seats five people and a main saloon offering a convivial space for six people.
The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped with a gas stove, oven and refrigerator, making it easy to prepare meals on extended cruises.
Thanks to its autonomy, low consumption and comfortable layout, this Nauticat 38 is an excellent platform for long-distance cruising or for living on board. Priced at €98,000, it represents an interesting opportunity for a yachtsman looking for a robust, economical and adventure-ready sailboat.
