Building and history

Catamaran type NAUTITECH 40, French construction known for its solidity design, the nacelle and deck are made of GRP and PVC sandwich, hulls infusion. The partitions are plywood of first choice, stainless steel rudderstocks mounted on self-aligning bearings, the short but well dimensioned keels separate from the hull without tearing in case of significant impact. The rigid bimini makes the maneuvers easy on the roof and the mainsail. The balconies and the environment of the helm stations are perfectly reassuring in bad weather. The aft platforms allow easy access to the water and the ascents and descents in the dinghy.
