Nauta Wind 44
The Nauta Wind 44 embodies the essence of great classic sailing yachts designed for offshore navigation, a safe bet for those who value tradition, quality craftsmanship, and onboard comfort. This unit, currently available in Port d’Andratx, Balearic Islands, brings together all the ingredients that distinguish truly exceptional second-hand boats: a history of private use, constant improvements, and the unmistakable mark of German Frers, one of the most prestigious naval architects in the world.
The Nauta Wind brand enjoys well-deserved international recognition, especially among enthusiasts of robust and reliable cruising yachts. Its Nauta Wind 44 model, built in 1979 by the renowned Astilleros Nauta, has become a benchmark for those seeking vessels capable of undertaking ocean crossings with safety and elegance. With a length of 10.32 meters, a beam of 3.4 meters, and a draft of 1.99 meters, this yacht offers optimal proportions to ensure both stability and maneuverability in all conditions.
The design of the Nauta Wind 44, crafted by German Frers, stands out for its elegant lines and its high displacement hull, characteristics that allow for particularly comfortable and safe navigation. The combination of its efficient keel and ketch rig—an attribute reserved for large ocean-going yachts—enables a balanced distribution of sail area, facilitating maneuvering and providing admirable stability, even in strong winds. These attributes make this model an ideal choice for both long voyages and relaxed family cruising.
One of the great values of this unit lies in the care and constant investment in its maintenance and upgrades. Among the most significant improvements are the osmosis treatment carried out in 2014, the comprehensive rigging inspection in 2020, the installation of a new backstay, renewed GP Sails in 2019, an updated anchor chain in 2020, and replaced water tanks in 2021. All of this translates into an overall condition that conveys confidence and highlights its history of responsible and exclusive use, having never been used for charter.
The interior of this yacht is a true homage to traditional nautical carpentry. Solid Burmese teak runs through every corner, from the solid doors to the handcrafted furniture, creating a warm and distinguished atmosphere that invites long stays on board. The interior layout is designed for comfort during the voyage, featuring a spacious salon, an independent chart table, a fully equipped kitchen, refrigerators both at 12V and 220V, ample storage spaces, and a library for relaxing moments.
The sleeping area is organized into two generous cabins: a master cabin with a double and a single bed, and a second cabin with a double bed and two bunks. It also has two full bathrooms, a forepeak for stowing sails and navigation equipment, and excellent ventilation thanks to hatches and Lewmar portlights. The feeling of space and the excellent interior height reinforce the livability of this Nauta Wind 44, making it ideal for long voyages or life on board.
On deck, the Burmese teak adds a classic touch while integrating functional improvements that enhance the sailing experience. The rig consists of an aluminum main mast and mizzen, aluminum boomkin, genoa and staysail furlers, cockpit-released controls, and Lewmar winches. Additionally, it includes safety and comfort features such as stainless steel stanchions, a teak gangway and swim ladder, a folding sprayhood, protective awnings, and extendable davits for the tender.
The sail inventory is particularly comprehensive, with a main, genoa, and mizzen from GP Sails from 2019, a staysail, a mainsail, a spinnaker, and a storm jib, allowing the yacht to adapt to any weather conditions. The anchoring system, reinforced with an electric windlass, galvanized chain, and several anchors, ensures safety in any circumstance.
The mechanical section is dominated by a 125 HP Yanmar diesel engine, accompanied by a Lewmar bow thruster, a fixed four-blade propeller, and a folding Max-Prop propeller to optimize sailing performance. The technical installations meet the standards of an offshore yacht: cold/hot air conditioning, dual refrigerators and freezers, a pressure group, a bilge pump, pre-installation for a generator, renewed power outlets, a new electrical panel, battery chargers, and large-capacity water and fuel tanks.
Located in the iconic Port d’Andratx, in the Balearic province, this second-hand yacht is situated in one of the best areas for sailing in both local and international waters. It is a perfect spot for those looking to embark on new adventures in the Mediterranean or prepare for an ocean crossing.
The Nauta Wind 44 is the ideal choice for discerning sailors who appreciate the authenticity, history, and reliability of great classic yachts. Its exemplary maintenance, complete equipment, and established reputation make it a unique opportunity for those wishing to sail with safety, comfort, and personality.
