Nautitech 475 - Project for sale in Portland, OR United States of America

This Nautitech 475 is a blank canvas. She was designed in an era when seakeeping was a paramount design consideration and the industry hadn't quite pivoted towards charter cats. As a result she has long lean hulls that are easily driven. She has a high bridgedeck clearance and a sleek coachroof for low windage. Her rig is big and powerful. Her engines have low hours (less than 800). She is a cat for crossing oceans.

This Nautitech 475 is a blank canvas. She was designed in an era when seakeeping was a paramount design consideration and the industry hadn't quite pivoted towards charter cats. As a result she has long lean hulls that are easily driven. She has a high bridgedeck clearance and a sleek coachroof for low windage. Her rig is big and powerful. Her engines have low hours (less than 800). She is a cat for crossing oceans. She was launched in 1996 and spent her early years in French Polynesia and then Hawaii. When she got to Oregon, water was discovered in her core below the waterline. That is one drawback of an old-school design - older production methods and standards. Still, she is a great platform and her Seller set about putting her right. He laid everything bare, investigated all of her flaws, and utilized modern methods and materials to repair and strengthen her with some modifications as he intended her to be a semi-custom cruising cat for a retirement at sea. He has transformed her in the process and she is now a strong and beautifully refinished set of hulls waiting to be reunited with her engines, systems, hardware, and rigging.

Unfortunately the Seller's time for the project has come to an end. He wants to sell. So now she's a blank canvas. A great substrate for a builder/cruiser with the ability to finish her. She will need an interior. She will need systems reinstalled. She will need all components re-integrated and some renewed, but she is close enough to taste the sea. Everything removed is right there with her awaiting prudent reuse. You can choose her interior look and feel. Choose your materials and surfaces. You can setup the electrical & plumbing system to meet your exact needs. You can arrange your own galley. You can put in your choice of electronics. This is an chance to get exactly what you want in your cruising catamaran and to really know your boat from the inside out as you finish her refit. Please read the description below where you will find her Seller's account of her refit experience thus far. This is a project catamaran no doubt, but she's an opportunity too!
