Nautor 39

From the prestigious Finnish shipyard Nautor comes this rare masthead ketch, representing a brief but notable chapter in the builder's storied history. Designed by Sparkman & Stephens and produced for just two years in the late 1970s, only four examples of this distinctive 39-footer were ever built, making it an exceptionally uncommon find in today's market. The design showcases classic S&S proportions with a moderate fin keel and skeg-hung rudder configuration that balances performance with seakindliness. Her substantial displacement of 28,660 pounds and generous ballast ratio provide the stability and sea-keeping abilities expected from a serious offshore cruiser. The masthead ketch rig offers excellent sail handling flexibility, particularly valuable for short-handed sailing or when managing varying wind conditions on extended passages. With a comfort ratio of 42.77, this Nautor strikes an appealing middle ground between comfort and performance, while the capsize screening value of 1.72 indicates good offshore capability. The fiberglass construction benefits from Nautor's legendary build quality, known throughout the industry for durability and attention to detail. This rare yacht would suit experienced sailors seeking a distinctive, well-built vessel capable of serious coastal and offshore cruising adventures.
