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 pleased to present to you ‘Nova,’ a 2017 Nautitech Fly 46. This four cabin/ four head layout has been a successful charter boat in the Horizon Yacht Charters fleet since she arrived. The interior offers ample space in the saloon, including a fold-out dining table which can drop down and be made into an additional bed, three fridges, one large freezer in the starboard hull, and plenty of storage space. The sliding doors open completely to the cockpit space allowing a real al fresco feel, and with the isinglass panels, this space can even be air-conditioned!   Moving onto the exterior, with electric winches at the helm station, a self-tacking jib, and one of the few cats that have a furling mainsail, this catamaran makes single-handed sailing easier than ever, especially when you can access the bow with ease from the helm. The Fly 46 offers one of the largest flybridges on the market in its class. A comfortable space for up to 10 passengers to keep the captain company while underway and enjoying the views!The current owner has also added a full-sized custom bimini, which keeps everyone cool throughout the day. Nova has A/C throughout, a generator, and a watermaker on board, Nova brings a level of luxury without compromising performance. Horizon Yacht Charters would be happy to keep Nova in the charter, but equally, she would make a fantastic liveaboard yacht! Price includes a fully equipped galley, safety gear to code, and a dinghy.

Horizon Yacht Sales is proud to present ‘Patches’ a 2018 Bavaria Cruiser 41. Patches has been a very successful charter boat in the Horizon Yacht Charters fleet since it arrived and continues to have strong upcoming bookings. This two cabin two head owners version offers plenty of space inside and out. Due to this layout, there is ample galley space, including a large fridge/freezer, comfy couches on both sides, an en suite master forward cabin, and A/C throughout. Instead of a 3rd cabin on the starboard aft side, this is where the generator is housed, offering a quiet interior when it is running.  With a twin helm station and furling main sail, it makes short hand sailing a breeze as all lines run directly to the helm station.  There is a large swim platform for comfort for those that wish to relax with a cocktail in hand and toes in the sea. This popular boat includes a dinghy, and is fully equipped for charter including interior needs and all safety equipment.  We would love to keep this boat in our fleet for a few more years, or you can take it to wherever the wind takes you!

  2020 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349 monohull. Available October 2019 Designed by Marc Lombard, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349 monohull is the perfect combination of performance, comfort and safety at sea. She is a comfortable cruiser, perfect for couples and young families. Although the smallest Jeanneau in the Sun Odyssey family she offers everything you need in a cruising boat. Some of the highlights of this fantastic 3 cabin monohull include: Winged shoal keel and twin rudders give performance and lift A hard chine along the hull adds stability when sailing Bright, well lit and spacious interior Low profile cabin top gives her smooth lines and a sleek look Easy to handle and rewarding to sail Outside style and performance From the very first glance, the Sun Odyssey 349 captivates with her pure lines. The hull has a hard chine that runs from well before the mid-ships all the way aft adding stability underway. She has a reverse deck sheer adding to the sleek look but importantly increases interior volume. This model sports the winged shoal draft keel drawing 4ft 10in. This design maintains sailing performance but also allows access to the shallower anchorages. The twin rudders give fabulous tracking and ‘feedback’, making her a real joy to helm. The twin wheel configuration and no backstay gives a clear walkthrough to the companionway through the spacious cockpit. The wide swim platform offers easy boarding and the extra outside living space this platform adds at anchor is impressive. Sprayhood and bimini with led lighting are included and there is an electric windlass at the bow. Under sail and power The Seldén fractional rig supports double aft-swept spreaders and carries a furling mainsail and Genoa. On deck, Jeanneau uses friction rings rather than tracks and fairleads for the genoa sheets. The “Y” bridle mainsheet also uses friction rings, eliminating the need for a traveller, so that the rigid vang becomes the primary means of controlling twist in the leach. Harken winches are in easy reach, two primary and two on the coachroof.  With a full array of Raymarine electronics and all the sail controls led neatly to the cockpit she is a breeze to sail short-handed. The Yanmar 21HP delivers over 6 knots at 2,900 rpm and she is responsive and easy to handle under power. Functionality and Style below This is the 3 cabins 1 head version. The master cabin forward has a V-berth with the water tank underneath. There is a double door to the master cabin that when open expands the overall feeling of space below. There are two double berths aft and the head is set to port. The saloon has an impressive 6ft 3in of headroom and includes a folding table with seating for four. When the table is folded the space in the saloon opens up nicely. There is a dedicated aft facing Navigation station that uses the saloon settee as a seat The L-shaped galley to starboard is compact and functional with a single sink near the centerline, a two-burner stove and top-loading refrigeration. High-quality woodwork accents an incredibly bright, well-lit interior.
