Award-Winning The 2020 Nautitech 40 Open Mark 1 was a game-changer, winning multiple awards. Sail Magazine 2016 Best Boat in Class, Cruising World best multihull cruiser for 2016, and now the Mark 2 Nautitech 40 open is a nominee for 2019 SAIL magazine ‘best boat’ award. Horizon Yacht Sales presents the new 3 cabin owners version 2020 Nautitech 40 Open by Nautitech Catamarans, with larger hull windows, distinctive grey Gelcoat detailing on the coachroof, the aft-facing galley and many upgrades including generator, air conditioning, leather upholstery, cockpit enclosure, sail upgrades, MCA category 4 compliance with all safety equipment, full charter inventory, ready to charter and cruise.   The 2020 Nautitech 40 Open construction is first class; different density foam cores are used, in combination with specific laminate specifications depending on the application and loading in different parts of the structure. This produces a very stiff, but impressively low displacement, so critical in a catamaran. Boat Handling When comparing a typical coach roof helm position versus the Nautitech Open 40 outboard helm position, the following should be considered: With twin helms on the hulls, (both with biminis on this boat) you have a lower centre of gravity, reducing pitching moment; you are driving the boat from a position where you have good visibility forward and aft, and you are able to see all four corners of the boat. You are always helming from the favoured side, and with the throttles at both helm positions having been included on this boat, you are always right next to the dock you are coming alongside. Changing command from one set of throttles to the other is as simple as pressing a button. Both helms are next to the cockpit, so the helmsperson is in touch with the rest of the crew. With class beating bridge deck clearance and an impressive fineness of hull ratio, it is no wonder the Nautitech 40 Open is so comfortable offshore. High aspect rudders set aft of the props, means even in a following sea there is no prop cavitation. The high aspect rudders give feedback more akin to a monohull than a cruising cat, and the relatively deep draft (for a cat) of 4ft 5”, enables this cat to outpoint the best of the rest. With completely sacrificial keels (she will still sail safely and well with no keels) and watertight bulkheads fore and aft, plus a Divinicell foam core, this is a very safe boat. Accommodation The 40 “Open” name relates to the Marc Lombard vision of a sailing/living space unlike any other. The saloon has an aft-facing galley, fridge, and a saloon table to seat 6. Two large coach roof hatches provide ventilation at anchor (fans and air conditioning are included in this boat’s specification). This yacht also benefits from a convertible teak cockpit table and a convertible saloon table. This is the 3 double cabin owners version/ 2 head and shower, where the port side of the yacht is the owner’s stateroom with en suite head and shower. Sailing the 40 Open Then you go sailing! A fathead main (which does not have to be clipped and unclipped from the track) is hoisted effortlessly with the electric winch ( included on this boat), and as you bear off, the Solent jib is unfurled and sets beautifully on its self-tacking track. In 18 knots of breeze, the 2020 Nautitech 40 Open will go upwind better than 40 degrees apparent, with 8 knots boat speed, unheard of for a cruising cat without daggerboards. This 40 Open comes with a bowsprit and 70 sq.m gennaker, which is as easily set as a furling genoa. This sail can be held to 60 apparent in light air, and to 120 apparent in medium air, enabling boat speeds in the mid-teens. Ask us about special-ordering a 130sq.m asymmetric Quantum spinnaker, and as the editors of Sail Magazine and Cruising World discovered, you can be sailing at 7.5 knots, in 7.5 knots of breeze, double-handed! This Nautitech 40 Open is an exceptionally well thought out catamaran, with a truly remarkable turn of speed, responsive handling to match, and her 3-cabin layout makes her very appealing to charter management and to the owner. This is a yacht to get truly excited about.  

Horizon Yacht Sales is proud to present Loisaba a 2007 Fairline Targa 52 GT designed by Bernard Olesinski and built by Fairline.  The Fairline Targa 52 Gran Turismo is possibly the ultimate sportsboat for the BVI. Loisaba is a sophisticated and purposeful beauty.  Delivering a top speed of over 40mph, combined with waterline length and the famous Olesinki designed Deep V hull that handles Caribbean chop with ease, you can be at your favourite bay in under an hour from Tortola, even if it is Setting Point, Anegada. Andrew Thompson, Director of Horizon, has spent some time aboard and can attest to the sea kindliness, comfort and pace of the Targa 52: “ Loisaba is the perfect boat for fast day trips or weekend getaways. She is incredibly comfortable under way and really easy to handle with just two aboard. With very low hours on her twin D12-800 EVC Volvos, Loisaba will give years of enjoyment to her next owners With bow and stern thrusters, and twin engines, Loisaba turns on a dime, and is easily docked double handed. This boat has been owned for five years by a couple who have spared no expense maintaining her to A1 condition.  All systems are professionally maintained and there is a full-service history. Boarding at the stern, there is teak swim platform, with steps into the cockpit area, passing between the expansive sun lounger on port, and a transom shower to starboard. A storage locker for lines or snorkel gear adjoins excellent access to the engine room and forward of this is a Plancha griddle – great for searing that fresh catch, a  sink with running water, as well as a front-loading fridge and a top loading storage locker. The dinghy garage, which is located below the sun lounge area, has electric rams to open the whole starboard side of the transom – very 007. It is a superb feature, enabling you to have your 9ft RIB, with 10Hp Outboard along, without having to tow it, or store it on Davits or the foredeck. (The tender is under 2 years old and is included). The tender is easily launched and retrieved as it asists on rollers and there is an electric motor to winch the dinghy back aboard. The Targa roof means you have full shade when you want it, and simply press the button to slide the roof back when you want the sun…or the stars. The helm position affords excellent all-round visibility, and the large windscreen is kept clean with windscreen wipers in choppy conditions. The Cockpit comfortably seats 12, and that’s before you make use of the expansive sun lounger aft, or the sun pad on the bow. A full array of Raymarine electronics including a recently upgraded large 12” Raymarine Hybrid touch screen chartplotter is ergonomically mounted on the dash.  Below decks, Loisaba has cherry joinery, unmarked newly installed teak and holly cabin sole, 2 double cabins aft, and the owner’s stateroom forward. There is a generous head and shower. A fully equipped galley and full-size fridge and freezer makes cooking aboard a joy. A 13 KVA Onan generator and 37,000 BTU air conditioning throughout means the climate is always convivial aboard. Loisaba is a 2007 model, but with a full yard refit back in the UK in 2018, this boat combines incredible value for money and superb condition and reliability. This is a boat that you can own for several years and sell with a very small depreciation factory. If you are looking for a fast weekender, that you can handle as a couple, but with space to bring your friends along in luxury……that you can live aboard for a week or more, look no further!

Horizon Yacht Sales is pleased to present you ‘Thunder Child.’ A 2017 Barracuda XSV 17 designed & built by Safehaven Marine. If you are looking for a boat that is capable of going fast for long distances, in any weather, this semi-custom design from Safehaven Marine may be the ultimate answer. Cruising at 45mph, topping out at 64 mph, Thunder Child is adaptable across a range of applications; a mega yacht tender, an offshore support vessel, a patrol boat, offshore search, and rescue….this boat has an enviable track record that attests to her pedigree.  The XSV 17 is a sophisticated hull design, driven by twin C12.9 Caterpillar turbocharged, supercharged, and intercooler engines with heavily upgraded Meta Marine Surface drives. In calm to moderate sea states, she is a planing hull, but when conditions deteriorate, she can shift to wave-piercing mode with a very fine entry and a deep V deadrise at the transom minimizing pitch, yaw, and pounding. Twin chines afford excellent dynamic and static stability. Built with advanced lightweight Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP), enables the XSV 17 to survive in sea state 8, when her proven self-righting capability might be called upon. The XSV 17 design was focused on development for naval and law enforcement applications, so she benefits from a low RCS (radar cross-section), due to her hull and deck design, as well as her outfitting. Thunder Child has six shock mitigation seats for extreme condition comfort and a further four seats for moderate conditions. With a head and shower, and accommodation forward and air-conditioning at a total of 50,000 BTU. The helm boasts three large 15” Garmin GPSs displays with HD radar, VHF, AIS, FLIR Thermal /night vision, and an onboard CCTV monitoring system for engines and equipment. In 2017 Thunder Child made history and became the world record holder for the fastest circumnavigation of Ireland via Rockall. Thunder Child covered 1347 miles to circumnavigate Ireland, counterclockwise in just over 34 hours, at an average speed of 39mph. With 1320 gallons of fuel, giving a range of up to 750nm, she only had to refuel twice en-route. Thunder Child is professionally maintained and is located in the British Virgin Islands.
