The Nauticat 40 designed by Sparkman & Stephens is one of the models built by Nauticat Yachts Oy - Siltala Yachts in Finland.

The pilothouse is lower than on earlier Nauticat models, the hull features a fin keel and skeg hung rudder, and the pilothouse entrance is from the cockpit and not from the sides. The Nauticat 40 was designed with ocean crossings in mind and this can easily be seen when having a look for instance at fuel and water tank capacities. A large 90 HP diesel engine provides for true motorsailer performance.

The design features a raised aft cabin with cockpit forward, a large pilothouse and salon, trunk cabin and teak decks. The boat is rigged as a sloop with an optional stay and staysail boom track installed to convert the rig to a cutter.

Seacocks replaced for galley sink and both marine head sinks in 2016.

Waterline Boats / Boatshed does not independently verify capacities and measures, which are reported from seller-provided information and/or literature.

The windows feature dark curtains to match the navy interior upholstery and block light when needed. The boat is heated with a Webasto Air Top 5000 diesel furnace. A Torrid 10 gallon hot water heater operates on 110 volt AC or engine coolant heating.

This features a centerline queen sized berth with easy access from either side and ample storage in drawers and lockers to each side and aft. Forward to port is a comfortable single seat and a desk with built-in stool for use as an office space. On centerline is a large hanging locker.
