Second-hand - Nautitech 395

Our video:

Designed by Mortain & Mavrikios and launched in 1996, approximately 80 Nautitech 395s are believed to have been built before the model was replaced by the Nautitech 40 in 2003. Its deck layout, with two helm stations positioned far aft and a cockpit protected by a rigid extension of the coachroof, already anticipated some of the features found on modern Nautitech catamarans.

Refitted for an Atlantic Crossing

What makes Macuba special? She had been prepared for an Atlantic circuit. Her Owner therefore undertook an extensive upgrade program between 2022 and 2026, with the aim of creating a self-sufficient catamaran ready to head offshore.

The genoa dates from 2022, while the mainsail is brand-new for 2026. The standing rigging was replaced in 2022, and much of the running rigging has been renewed or serviced.
The two 30 hp Yanmar engines, installed in 2012 and each showing approximately 1,600 hours, have also undergone a thorough overhaul. The saildrive seals were replaced, and the engines were removed to allow work including repainting the engine compartments. A particularly welcome improvement on a catamaran of this age.

Greater Self-Sufficiency

Preparations for extended cruising went well beyond the propulsion systems. Macuba is equipped with 700 Wp of solar panels connected to a lithium battery. An additional refrigerator has also been installed to increase fresh food storage capacity, while the navigation electronics have been upgraded.

Inside, we find a four-double-cabin layout, well suited to family cruising or sailing with friends. The saloon retains the relatively compact proportions typical of catamarans of this generation, but the Nautitech 395 benefits in return from an originally quoted light displacement of just 6.6 metric tons.

With her slender hulls and upgraded equipment, Macuba represents an interesting option for sailors who value seaworthiness and self-sufficiency over the interior volume offered by more recent catamarans.

This Nautitech 395 is offered for sale at € 150,000 including VAT by Hellomulti, which is exhibiting her at the Canet-en-Roussillon show.
