Welcome to the Nauticat Association Web Site.

ucing the Association
This Association was officially inaugurated in 1995 and has been growing ever since, now we have over 136 boats across the world. Each year we run at least four rallies on the South Coast of England, Scotland, East Coast UK and Northern France. Although the Association is based in the UK we have members in Belgium, Croatia, France, Ireland, Switzerland, Portugal, the States, Tunisia and Australia.
Nauticats are very well made motor sailers and pilot yachts, manufactured by Siltala yachts at Turku in Finland. The 33 has been in production since 1966, and there are about 1200 of them worldwide. They are now superceded by the 331. At present the largest in the range are the 525s, with various sizes in between to cater for all tastes and requirements. The name Nauticat comes from the Finnish for nautical quality and they are certainly quality boats.
If you are looking for a Nauticat then we can often pair you with a member who might be able to take you out or at least have a look over.
We also put out a magazine Cat-A-Log at least three times a year – see here for an example Number-62. We aim to organise Socials, Rallies and a place for owners to share information on maintenance, Suppliers, Cruising matters.
We’ve built this site to allow Full Members and Forum users to chat about Nauticats and please feel free to sign up and ask questions.
