- Going from our home port to Bodø, for our first haul out and some new anti foul.
I named this video “Can she sail” because, as a motorsailer of course her sailing abilities are limited. For us, she still provides joyful sailing even if she’s not the fastest boat, and even if she won’t win any races, she’ll get us there in comfort and safety.
After this video was made, a few really important improvements have been done, replacing the beast 3 blade fixed prop with a four blade Variprop improved light wind sailing drastically. Also, all the sails are worn, and now we added a new 135% Genoa, which also made a huge improvement, for what she is. Now we sail a lot more🙂
More videos will come!
First off all ,all boats with sails,sails??!
Nothing wrong with Slow and Steady!
Hi, we are thinking of getting an NC 38 as a live-aboard, what do you think?
Nice to see your boat, and that motor sailors can Sail, myself trying in a old Finnclipper. And in those cold environments. Thanks!
Hi thanks for your great content. Can i ask you what the engine cruising speed and maximum engine speed is?
I love it when you guys leave the actual sailing audio of the ocean hitting the boat
I race a Nauticat 44 on San Francisco bay, reaching long distance races, I can win, short up wind races, I can't win. But handicap racing is the game, so a 38 Nauticat that can get to the start line for every race in the series will do just fine. And when the race is over, turn on the engine and the heater and motor sail home.
Beautiful vessel. We have a 1983 Nauticat 36 which we are slowly restoring named AARLUK after the Inuit name for the orca. She sails wonderfully, motors briskly and, like your own boat, is very comfortable passage maker.
I like very much confortable yacht
Excuse me but I'm from N. America so I don't understand. Why are you out sailing when it's snowing? ;)
If the Vikings had Nauticats, they would have sailed to Florida.
Yes she can sail . I might name mine no hurry from Thailand .
Hi, love this boat......are they built as good as I read they are, as in they don't break or need huge amount of repairs, or are they like a lot of other boats a constant battle to keep at sea? Just asking as really thinking of getting one 😃
It can sail,but you certainly won't be winning any regatas
Hats off to you helming in the outside position when you could be inside nice and warm 👏🏻 does the woodburner work ok when sailing or would you only use it when not making way?
Lovely boat. Is the Nauticat limited when just under sail? Can you still do everything a normal sailing boat can do just slower ?
Always liked these boats. Could never afford one. Ended up with a smaller fiberglass sloop. But it was sailing anyway.
Found you rchannel because Im "window shopping" for such a boat as yours frim 38 to 44 feet. The pilot house giving extended season is one factor making this boat atractive. Are you happy with your choice???
We are looking for a Nauticat 38 and this video has shown us the best side of sailing for those of us who have lived several years on a boat and are now also looking for the comfort that few other boats can offer. Great boat
Stupid question in the title, are you sane?
