Nauticat 38
12 / 29 - score 59%
The Nauticat 38 is a 37.5ft staysail ketch designed by Kaj Gustafsson and built in fiberglass by Nauticat - Siltala Yachts since 1975.
The Nauticat 38 is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is a short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
