About the NAUTICAT 351
Updated Nauticat 35. New deck design, new keel and rudder, and bottom strengthening framework.
The Nauticat 351 is a robust cruising sloop designed by Kaj Gustafsson and built by Nauticat Yachts OY (FIN) in 2005. With a production run limited to this single year, the vessel represents a specific iteration of the brand's heavy-displacement philosophy, featuring a LOA of 34.78 ft and a displacement of 16535.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and stability over high-speed performance, particularly those seeking a solid platform for long-term liveaboard or bluewater passage-making.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 16535.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.81, and a comfort ratio of 31.72, the Nauticat 351 is well-suited for offshore passages, offering excellent stability and motion comfort in heavy seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 34 and the Hallberg-Rassy 36, as they share similar heavy displacement, fin keel configurations, and a focus on safe, comfortable offshore cruising rather than racing performance.
