Nauticat 39

Does anyone have any experience with the Nauticat 39?

I understand there are only a couple of these boats in the US, so I suppose it's unlikely, but I thought I would ask.

Plenty of experience on the NC 39 here, as I do sail the Baltic with one.

Whole bunch of them around here, they are popular in the PNW.

Juvajoo, could you please share your thoughts as to the good and bad points of the Nauticat 39?

How long have you had the boat?

How do you use her - short or long voyages?

How does she handle?

Good and bad experiences with the design?

I'm seriously thinking about purchasing this model, and whatever you can share would be most helpful. I understand that some Nauticats are more sailing-oriented than others, and it appears to me that the 39 is about as strong a sailor as there is in the line.

Many thanks.
