 Nautitech
47
|
Alain
Mortain and Yiannis Mavrikios
designed this beautiful catamaran
for Nautitech in 2006. Built in
Lorient in France, the Nautitech 47 has undergone
constant improvements since then.
Performances and handling
Nautitech lays claim to the
performance side of the
luxury-catamaran market, albeit
without dagger boards, and the
company's 47-foot model, while
expensive, shows how. Although it's
a large catamaran, at 47 feet, it's
not intimidating. It's powerful and
light, and from its twin stern
steering stations, the helmsman can
feel the wind, and sail controls are
easy to reach. A good view can be
had from either helm, and although
the helmsman is exposed, he or she
can retreat inboard with an
autopilot remote.
Such an
arrangement permits a
fixed canopy
that extends the sweeping lines of
the bridge deck saloon and shades the
cockpit, which is devoted to the other important
onboard activities: lounging and
entertaining.

with its flat-panel furniture and spare
joiner-work details, is designed to save
unnecessary weight and its consequent drag
on speed.
The galley is "up," at the aft
side of the saloon, and communicates
directly between the cockpit seating and the
saloon's broad,
U-shaped dining area.
Accommodation
The port hull has two
spacious
cabins, each with a queen-size berth and a
private head, while the starboard hull can
be similarly configured or made into a
suite. Both hulls have extra berths in their
peaks. The engines are in separate
compartments aft, accessed through deck
hatches.
Charter price
The charter price €8.430 per week might
sound expensive, but all the catamarans of
the same age and size are in similar price.
