The details that make the difference

• Natural light in every room
• An elegant interior decor

The double helmstation, NAUTITECH's DNA

Double steering station, the choice of performance :

• - ideal position to keep an eye on the sea and sails
• - more sensations at the helm 
• - best position to dock along a quay or pontoon

A word from the architect

"In a nutshell: the Open 40 is the catamaran of choice for a round-the-world trip thanks to its great maneuverability and size. It is a boat designed for all those who love to sail while enjoying life on board, a balance made possible by the aft helm station".

REFIT 2021-2022

To prepare her for the Global Ocean Challenge and TWOSTAR an extensive refit was planned. Among others, the following parts of the boat were renewed or overhauled. 

• The hull and appendages have been sanded, damage in the gel coat repaired and locally repainted. 
• A new anti-slip layer has been applied to the deck.
• The hull has been polished.
• The underwater hull is equipped with a fast anti-fouling. Just before launch the rudders and keel are painted bright orange. 
• A new chair is installed (Sparco) that is adjustable in all directions and also rotates on its axis so that a comfortable seat can always be found when inclined.
• In the central navstation a new Furuno GPS (GP39) is installed with the newest antenna on the antenna pole aft. A new JRC radar (JMA-1032) dome and screen are installed. A new Icom M330GE DSC VHF. All instruments receive relevant nav data via seatalk/nmea multiplexer. 
• A new double stove is installed in the galley. All gas hoses replaced.

It is fitted as standard with a carbon / Kevlar® continuous line wheel, a carbon housing, a 3: 1 friction sheave fitted with a captive fast pin, the drum remote locking system and a swivel. Sailing singlehanded one must be able to rely on the proper functioning of furling headsails in the heaviest conditions.

Nautitech Open 40

Nautitech Open 40 is a 39 ′ 3 ″ / 12 m catamaran sailboat designed by Marc Lombard and built by Bavaria Yachts and Nautitech Catamarans starting in 2015.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Cabins – heads, standard 4 - 2 Berths, standard version 8 Mainsail, standard (approx.) 63 m2 Self-tacking jib, standard (approx.) 28 m2 Cabins No. of cabins - heads 3/4 - 2 Berths 6/8 (+ 2) Heads 2
