Nauticat 39

Description

The Nauticat 39 is a Finnish-built pilothouse sailboat designed by Kaj Gustafsson and first produced in 1993 by Siltala Yachts in Pietarsaari, Finland, embodying the yard's renewed focus on sailing performance during an economic downturn by introducing a sleeker hull form, increased sail area, and refined keels/rudders while upholding the brand's pilothouse tradition for superior all-weather visibility and opulent liveaboard comfort suited to couples or small families on bluewater or coastal adventures. Constructed from solid fiberglass with a bulbed fin keel and skeg-hung rudder for agile stability and protection, it displaces 16,900 pounds with 6,000 pounds of lead ballast, measures 39 feet LOA, 32.17 feet LWL, 11.5 feet beam, and 6.23 feet draft, delivering a hull speed of 7.6 knots and 856 square feet of sail area under a fractional sloop rig powered by a reliable 50 HP Yanmar diesel engine with 75 gallons of fuel and 110 gallons of water for solid range. Celebrated for its responsive handling, 360-degree saloon panoramas, warm teak interior boasting up to 6'4" headroom across three double cabins for six berths, a U-shaped galley, integrated nav station, and versatile inside/outside helms, the Nauticat 39 was produced through 2004 with approximately 80 units built before being succeeded by the Nauticat 385, remaining a coveted gem for traditionalists prioritizing spirited seaworthiness, low-maintenance durability, and Finnish elegance over sheer motoring prowess.3.3s
