Ready to sail:
TAO II has been our home for the last eight years from the Mediterranean to Australia. Ce bateau s’est avéré facile à manœuvrer avec deux personnes à bord et très fiable. Nous l’avons équipé pour avoir l’autonomie nécessaire afin de nous rendre dans des endroits isolés et réduire le nombre de choses à se soucier. Its comfort has been excellent, whether it's on long crossings or when we have friends over.
This is the model with top-of-the-range finish “Exclusive” with all the options and an owner's cabin that occupies the entire starboard hull. Nous l’avons entretenu avec amour pour le garder beau et assurer la sécurité dont nous avons besoin. This boat has never been rented!
Equipped for long-distance cruising and ready to go – All you have to do is pack your bags and set sail…
Why did we buy a Nautitech? 442?
- Balance between performance and comfort
- Two helm stations, each with engine controls, give better visibility, Greater ease of manoeuvring and better sailing sensations
- Spacious and safe cockpit, Separate from the navigation deck
- The deck is cleared with wide side decks for safety and ease of movement
- Easy access to the boom which is flush with the roof
- The large open rear skirts make it easy to get on and off the dinghy.
- Weather- and spray-resistant cockpit with one-piece roof and bimini and full, transparent closing awning
- Wide forward view from the chart table
- Designed and built for exceptional seaworthiness and not just for charter and lagoon sailing.
- Its lines are fluid and it is beautiful... At least that's our opinion 😉
