Nauticat 35

Finnish boatbuilder Siltala Yachts introduced this capable motorsailer in 1986, combining the renowned Scandinavian tradition of sturdy construction with Kaj Gustafsson's thoughtful design philosophy. Built with fiberglass construction and featuring a traditional long keel configuration, this vessel exemplifies the Northern European approach to serious cruising boats designed for challenging conditions. With its masthead sloop rig and substantial displacement of 16,500 pounds anchored by 5,150 pounds of ballast, the design prioritizes seaworthiness and comfort over racing performance. The impressive comfort ratio of 32.19 reflects the boat's motion characteristics in seaways, while the conservative capsize screening formula of 1.78 indicates excellent stability for offshore passages. The generous beam of 11.33 feet provides substantial interior volume and initial stability, complemented by moderate draft that allows access to a variety of anchorages. The 43-horsepower engine gives this motorsailer respectable auxiliary power, particularly valuable when dealing with challenging weather or tight maneuvering situations. This design suits serious cruising sailors who value comfort, safety, and the ability to carry substantial stores for extended voyages. Whether coastal cruising or crossing oceans, the boat's conservative design parameters and solid Finnish construction provide confidence in demanding conditions.
