Nautitech 44 Open

The first pictures!

We've been waiting for a new model from Nautitech for a few years now - the first version of the 46 Open dates back to 2015. And now there’s good news: the French builder has just published on social media and then on its website, the very first images of what is to be the Nautitech 44 Open.

A wise choice in terms of size: first because it’s right in the heart of the market, then because there are many 42 and 45-footers in the catalogs, but not so many 43 or 44-footers. We can see that there’s going to be a short coachroof, twin helm stations on the hulls, measured displacement and a lower boom to optimize the sail area: the yard looks to be maintaining course with a high-performance multihull – staying faithful to its 40 and 46 Open, and of course, Marc Lombard. Another innovation is the addition of a “smart room”, that can be a utility room/workshop, very useful when blue water cruising.
