Service History & Construction:'Nauta' was designed by John Bennet Associates. The present owner commissioned a local Master boat builder to complete the structural work under the supervision of Mr David Snowdon, who is a famous yacht designer and surveyor. The brief was to produce a Blue Water Yacht which could sail the world in safety and comfort and finance itself by being equipped for the charter market. 'Nauta' is fully licensed by the D.T.I category 2; for 12 persons, plus crew.
In the last 4 years 'Nauta' has undergone a major refit; the Vutus Deutz (oil cooled) engine has 200 hours of use and is still under warranty. All sails have been replaced as has the sprayhood. A Duere 16hp bow thruster is fitted. The entire hull has had 5 coats of SFE applied.
Comments:'Nauta' is fully equipped with everything, bedding, cutlery, lifejckets etc, for 12 people to either sail or charter anywhere you wish to go. It is due to injury and illness that the current owner is selling.
