S/V Howdoo is a Cartagena, Spain based 2024 Nautitech 40 Open For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.
“Howdoo” was purchased and outfitted for an extended family offshore and off grid adventure. Plans have changed, so she is now fully prepared and available for your blue water journey.
The Nautitech 40 Open is designed for owners who value true sailing performance without sacrificing comfort or safety. Dual helm stations provide excellent visibility and control for both sailing and docking, while the low boom and efficient keels deliver impressive upwind capability. The signature “Open” concept creates a seamless, single level living space from helm to cockpit to saloon/galley — safe, social, and ideal for passagemaking and life at anchor.
Howdoo is the desirable Explorer version with the sought after owner’s layout, featuring the most recent Millesime interior styling inspired by the award winning Nautitech 44. Beyond her well selected factory options, she has been upgraded with a professionally designed custom energy system including top tier solar, lithium batteries, and inverter/charger components.
Her blue water sail suite is equally impressive, featuring a gennaker and Parasailor — a turnkey setup for the ARC Rally and long range cruising.
We welcome your inquiries. As experienced Nautitech dealers with extensive international sales and cruising support experience, we are well equipped to help you take the next step toward your adventure.
