Siltala Yachts Nauticat 38 Ketch

The Nauticat 38 is an iconic motorsailer from the Finnish shipyard Nauticat Yachts, renowned for the quality of its construction and its ability to comfortably navigate over long distances. Designed for offshore cruising, this model combines the seaworthy qualities of a traditional sailboat with the practicality of an interior helm station, allowing for comfortable navigation regardless of weather conditions.

This 1980 Nauticat 38 has recently undergone a complete restoration, carried out about 300 hours of engine operation ago. This upgrade ensures a healthy boat ready to sail.

The propulsion is provided by an 80-horsepower Ford Lehman diesel engine with a total of 4900 hours. This engine is known for its robustness and reliability in the boating world. It allows the boat to reach a cruising speed of approximately 7 knots with an extremely low fuel consumption of about 4 liters per hour, making it a particularly economical unit for long-distance navigation.

The solid fiberglass construction and the typical Nauticat design offer excellent stability and reassuring behavior at sea. Wide and secure side decks facilitate movement on deck, while the helm station allows for sheltered navigation.

The interior of the boat is particularly comfortable for a vessel of this size. It has two double cabins to accommodate several people onboard, as well as two bathrooms. The living spaces are generous, with two separate salons: a helm station salon accommodating five people and a main saloon providing a convivial space for six.

The galley is spacious and well equipped with a stove, an oven, and a refrigerator, making it easy to prepare meals during extended cruises.

Thanks to its autonomy, reduced consumption, and comfortable layout, this Nauticat 38 makes an excellent platform for long-distance cruising or living aboard. Priced at €98,000, it represents an interesting opportunity for a boater looking for a robust, economical sailboat ready for adventure.
