About
Nauticats were originally built by Siltala Yachts in Finland but the name was changed in 2005 to Nauticat Yachts Oy which was the name of their primary yacht range. The yard was situated 40 kilometers from the city of Turku in southwest Finland. The company built yachts for over 45 years and when they went out of business in 2018, they had built close to 2500 Nauticats with the first Nauticat being delivered in 1966. These vessels are all of high-end hand constructed and definitely blue-water capable made to take their owners anywhere they wish to go. No core material was used; only solid fiberglass construction throughout so there are no issues with the teak decks. The 33 was one of the more successful models for this company with 1160 vessels built in a couple of different layouts and keel configurations.
This particular vessel is in above average condition and has benefitted from good owners who have maintained her to a high standard. The fact that she is a Freshwater-only boat has helped her to stay in far better overall condition that the vast majority of her sisterships. Two decent cabins, relaxing saloon, bright and comfortable wheelhouse, well-equipped galley, reliable engine, and an easily handled sail plan make this boat an ideal couples cruising yacht suitable for the rigours faced when cruising our beautiful coastline and islands.
As with the majority of Scandinavian built boats, both the cabinet work and insulation is superb. The boat is extremely comfortable from the well-upholstered berth cushions and angle of saloon upholstery. The wheelhouse can be entered from either side by sliding doors. The panoramic views make this a very pleasant place to sit while on passage or at anchor. Forced air heating throughout the cabins from the Espar diesel furnace makes the boat very cozy on those coolish and damp days. There are seating areas to the rear of either side of the aft cabin entrance and an occasional table to port for having a cup of tea or doing the crossword. The helm position is central allowing all-round visibility. Large custom heavy-duty roof hatches allow extra light and ventilation on warm days. Chart storage to the port of helm with Perspex chart holder.
Moving aft is the owners cabin with double Pullman berth, reading lights, good ventilation and plentiful storage everywhere. This version of the 33 has a more livable layout in the aft-cabin with the aft head area replaced with a seating area and a hanging locker.
Forward of the wheelhouse is the main saloon with comfortable dinette to port and linear galley to starboard. The seating area converts to a large double or can be used as a single. There is storage in hull mounted cupboards and beneath the settees. There is lots of cupboard storage for provisions. Moving forward is the head compartment to port. Opposite the forward head is a large hanging locker and in the bow is the front cabin with V-berth.
Her Ford Lehman engine is immaculate and her Max-Prop propeller moves her effortlessly under power. Her inventory of new and nearly sails move her splendidly under wind power. With her excellent navigation package, safety equipment and handy extras, this is a "sailaway" boat that requires little preparation before setting sail on new adventures.
